The Mantis was a nice hotel centrally located in Jamestown. The staff was very friendly, courteous, and amenable. All of the people on Saint Helena Island were very friendly, and I would recommend a visit there at any time of year.

Great hotel, excellent location, comfortable well-equipped rooms but what made this place special was the staff. Everyone was helpful and sociable, nothing was too much trouble. I would happily stay here again.

I'm really torn about this review. This hotel is lovely, with nice staff, a great spot in town and tastefully designed. I would highly recommend, BUT - (although I appreciate its remote island location) a few things need adjusting... I offer this as feedback not criticism as a professional traveller! 1) rooms have adjoining doors with a large gap underneath. Our neighbour woke us up at 0500 watching TV and making phone calls (we could hear every word). 2) the first room assigned only had a bath with a handheld shower. We were moved to a room with a shower. Also no mini-fridge. Would expect in a hotel of this calibre. Please install in all rooms! 3) the bathroom door has to be kept shut overnight as there's no adequate blind so by early morning it's like having a light on. 4) most disappointingly; breakfast lets this hotel down. Only one member of staff overseeing which is simply not enough. Not enough on the plates at the buffet meant guests were constantly asking for refills. The staff were chasing their tails running up and down from the kitchen downstairs, whilst taking orders and clearing tables. We had one extremely diligent staff member for the majority of the week who tried very hard (thank you!), but the lady on the last day could not cope at all. It took 40 mins to get a coffee and we struggled to find a table which wasn't full of dirty plates. To summarise: would absolutely recommend and stay here again, but hope next time there are more staff at breakfast!

Das Hotel ist sehr schön, der Service jedoch äusserst unpersönlich - speziell im Vergleich zur sehr freundlichen Inselbevölkerung - sowie unterbesetzt bei ausgebuchtem Hotel. Das Zimmer (Heritage Room) über der Bar/Restaurant/Küche sehr laut/lärmig. Selbst beim Check-out fragt niemand nach, ob man mit dem Aufenthalt zufrieden war. Abendessen ist sehr empfehlenswert.

Excellent

Mantis is located in the heart of Jamestown in the tastefully restored buildings that used to be the East India Company’s headquarters on the island. Facilities are new and well-maintained and the staff are friendly and very helpful. Breakfast in the English style is available in a good variety and excellent quality. In terms of the negatives, the WiFi on the premise is slow and connection is spotty. That said, it is a problem prevalent in all of St Helena, so I guess you cannot really complain about it. A gym will also be a welcomed addition. Overall a very very nice stay.

Gute Lage in Jamestown. Gutes Frühstück. Bequemes Bett. Ein paar Liegestühle auf der Terrasse wären schön. Zur Hauptstraße hört man morgens ab 06:00 täglich die Straßenreinigung. Das ist für Urlaub zu früh. Personal sehr hilfsbereit.
