Simon Hotel

I should be eternally grateful to this hotel-the charming young lady at reception gave me my room early when I had disembarked from a cruise in the morning many hours before normal check-in time. The hotel is modern and the rooms spacious and well furnished-but PLEASE fix the restaurant, service was non-existent, we waited most of an hour to be served and when the food came there was very little of it. Surely it can’t be impossible to organize a decent restaurant in an otherwise upscale and pretty expensive hotel. Breakfast was, mercifully, all self-service and at least the bread and pastries were good though the eggs looked inedible.

Great location for exploring the boardwalk, fort and shopping area. The room was nice and very clean. The food and view of the harbour from the bar were excellent. The gym was underwhelming, and there was no pool, but that wasn’t what we were looking for on this trip.

Receptionist had us change rooms three times and in the end we had to make our beds ourselves to get those two twin rooms we booked. The restaurant is ok but very slow. No lunch, just breakfast and dinner. The hotel nears a dangerous zone with drug dealers. The rooms themselves are fine.

Beautiful hotel! Amazing food, service, sights, and more. It was relaxing and thrilling at the same time! Love love love and recommend! The people were nice, the service was fast and easy to access, everything was nice and clean and orderly!

This hotel seemed to be the best located for an overnight stay following a cruise ending in Fort de France. It seems to be fairly new and although the check-in process was not without difficulty due to the inexperience of a new employee, the desk staff were otherwise courteous and had decent English. It was noticeable however that the lobby (where I spent a couple of hours waiting for a room) was far too warm despite some airconditioning, and when I got into a room it had the same problem, it was nowhere near cool enough to be comfortable. The room was otherwise fine. I did not breakfast in the hotel because the prix fixe for the buffet was quite high and there did not seem to be an alternative for someone who normally just has coffee and pastries. The restaurant was not open for lunch, for dinner it was quite good though the menu was limited and all tables were outside, which could be a problem in a hot and humid climate. This is a safe choice for people who do not want to risk less conventional alternatives in the town or use the more exotic resorts elsewhere on the island, but the hotel would have to fix the temperature problem to merit a higher rating and since it is fairly highly priced and should deliver properly cooled rooms.

The front desk staff are friendly and chatty . The room clean and comfortable. A little too much air freshener had been used . I had to open the windows for an hour to get rid of the stink of it . |The bar had no beer apart from corona and desperado . Not a Lorraine or a Heineken to be had ! |As for the food . My starter of shrimp was very nice ! The main left me disappointed. |The serves were friendly enough . |Good location in FDF if that’s the part on the island you want to be .

Strange hotel. Reception was hard to find. On the second floor. No butler available. Rooms ok - but restaurant was a mess. Breakfast very poor. Limited choice of items. Nice views from the terrace of the restaurant. Terrible furniture for eating.

I have booked this hotel already several times for business travel. This is a modern, business hotel. Rooms are clean and comfortable; nothing more. Breakfast is buffet but relatively limited. Location is at the 'port' ; in walking distance of the center. Personnel is usually friendly and helpful. However the seating in the restaurant and the bar is really not comfortable. It is like some fancy designer who tried to create something but it doesn't sit comfortable (very low seating), both in the bar and the restaurant. Food for dinner is also soso; not the best restaurant. Would I book it again? Yes because, there is no better choice in Fort-de-France from a business travel prospective. If for leisure/vacation; no way!
