*We've seen improvements over the years.* Visited: May 2008
Posted by prllopez
	We stayed here 30 years ago for our honeymoon when the hotel had wood rooms. Thirty years later, we've seen a lot of improvements. The breakfast was excellent, and we felt the atmosphere we would feel at home Its location was perfect for exploring the rest of the island. Martha and Sandy were very helpful in giving us tips as to what to do and see. In addition, the rooms were simple, but very clean. The pool was very clean and nice, and the restaurant next door was pricey - but great. This was a quiet, low key and relaxing place to stay in the heart of the old city. It was minutes from museums, restaurants, and shops. Molly and Cheryl created an almost-home atmosphere.

*Galleon House is highly recommended.* Visited: January 2006
Posted by sallyanns
	The Galleon House was a great find. Its location was perfect for exploring the rest of the island. Martha and Sandy were very helpful in giving us tips as to what to do and see. In addition, the rooms were simple, but very clean. Stay here if you want to have an authentic Caribbean experience. Our only complaint was that the mattress was quite uncomfortable, but we would still definitely stay here again!

*Calleon House was funky and convenient.* Visited: April 2005
Posted by brian1
	We enjoyed our stay! The rooms were clean and well maintained. This property was uphill from town and had many stairs of its own. If you don't mind walking and stairs, it's just fine. Also, the pool was very clean and nice, and the restaurant next door was spendy - but great.

*Galleon House is relaxing and low key.* Visited: January 2004
Posted by ejaston
	This was a quiet, low key and relaxing place to stay in the heart of the old city, minutes from museums, restaurants and shops. The room was simple, but clean and quiet with breakfast on the terrace overlooking the bay. Martha and Sandy were great hosts, helpful with local information and advice on life in paradise! It was difficult to leave - a "home away from home".

*Experience St. Thomas, not your hotel.* Visited: September 2003
Posted by claudeandbufy
	This bed and breakfast is clean and modest. It not only offers the minimalist of needs, but offers a genuine experience of St. Thomas. This B and B is best if you are a walker. All within walking distance are the taxis, emancipation park, historic downtown, St. John Ferry, main street, tourist shops, post office, and local tastes. Well secluded, this B and B is convienent to the tourist shops/traps. You do have to take taxis to the beaches. There is also a great view of downtown and you always have a chance to interact with the local people and are able to avoid the incoming cruise ship tourists. Sandy and Martha are always willing to offer help and opinions of what to see and do.

*Galleon House was a cozy bed and breakfast.* Visited: June 2003
Posted by blueyez98
	When I first showed up, I found the room not up to the standards I am used to. But after the first day, the great staff made me feel at home, with a home cooked breakfast every morning, and their sincere desire to make my stay the best it could possibly be. You have to keep in mind that it's only a bed and breakfast and not a five-star hotel. Other than that, I would recommend it.

*Warm, friendly, felt like home away from home!* Visited: July 2001
Posted by Kaliah
	Molly and Cheryl created an almost-home atmosphere. I was greeted graciously and they both had pity on me for accidentally climbing the famous 99 steps thinking that it would lead to The Galleon House! So don't make that mistake! Molly was so kind she even asked a girlfriend of mine to come for breakfast and she was not a guest of the B&B! I recommend The Galleon House to anyone who is looking for a friendly atmosphere, warm hospitality and a decent breakfast.

*I'd look elsewhere* Visited: February 2001
Posted by kedewar
	Wish I could recommend this for price, view, restaurant proximity, but the poor condition of the property and odd attitude of the staff that ranged from initial friendliness to downright rudeness caused me to go elsewhere.

*Don't stay anywhere else!!!!* Visited: November 1999
Posted by PR
	We have been in the hospitality business for 20 years. It's all about what Ian, Molly & Dolly offer....wonderful...friendly service. Sure there are a few steps..but the hospitality and great views are worth the hike. Clean rooms...perfect location. We have stayed at the Ritz for $475 a night and Galleon House is a much better value...twice the value considering the great people.
