Great spot for a stay in Statia
We stayed at Old Gin House for a quick trip to Statia and really enjoyed it. Our room (garden view) didn't have any frills, but the beds were comfy, the AC was good, and the bathroom and shower were spacious. The management and staff were super nice and very helpful. The location is great and the grounds and historic character of the hotel are charming. The deck on the ocean is very peaceful. The included breakfast was delicious and generous. We also ate at the restaurant two nights and dinner was excellent. The mahi mahi was some of the best we've ever had so we got it two nights in a row. The hotel is right near the Barrel House restaurant (though we didn't go in favor of the OGH restaurant) and the Scubaqua dive shop, and just a short walk up to the fort and town. We highly recommend.

Old Gin House is a nice place to stay
Nice, clean, historical and safe place to stay. No frills here. It's not fancy or luxurious but it is clean and located near a few restaurants and across the street from the scuba center. The place could use some upgrades and maintenance but the AC worked well, the room was clean and stocked with towels, soap, shampoo and bottled water. What more do you need?

A likeable place on the harbor front
A likeable place on the harbor front, two doors down from the dive shop, and a short uphill walk to the center of Oranjestad and the historic fort. It’s a busy little neighborhood with cars and motor scooters, doves, and roosters sounding off at all hours, but it was easy to tune it all out while sleeping with the very effective air conditioning on. We wanted to be in the center of activity, and some ambient noise was a price we willingly paid. All rooms include a generous and tasty breakfast on their breezy harbor-front terrace/bar/restaurant, daily housekeeping (they keep everything very clean!), plentiful hot water, and all the usual hotel bath amenities, plus two pint bottles of drinking water daily (which we supplemented with some gallon jugs from the grocery store). We stayed in one of the two “junior apartments,” which allowed us to make most of our own meals (we shopped at Duggins’ grocery in the upper town). These consist of two spacious rooms, a living room/kitchenette and a bedroom with a comfortable king-size bed. The kitchen has a small four-burner stovetop, sink, and refrigerator, and enough dishes and cookware to make simple meals for up to three people. The apartments are not right on the oceanfront, but very close to the oceanfront terrace, which is open to guests all day and evening. A small public sand beach was steps away from the hotel, and from that beach it’s easy to snorkel along the old submerged town walls. Overall, the Old Gin House was one of the best parts of our visit to Statia.

Nice Old Time Feel
The Old Gin House was a nice location in association with the Scubaqua Dive Shop. The rooms were good and the location to upper town was right at the bottom, only a short walk up a hill. There is maintenance going on to help spruce up the place. I would stay here again as they accommodated our large group with ease. They are located right on the water and you can see all of the old warehouse ruins from when the island used to be a large port for trade in the 16 and 1700s.

An enjoyable stay
We enjoyed our three night stay at the Old Gin House. Granted, it has tired and somewhat shabby quality to it, and it certainly does not provide a luxury or 5 star experience. Nevertheless, it has a great location, an engaging historical quality and an excellent restaurant. As well, our waterfront suite was clean and spacious, and we loved the sound of the waves at night. The staff took very good care of us, and the Margaritas served in the bar are perhaps the best we have ever had. The dive shop is next door as is another excellent restaurant, the Barrelhouse.

A slice of paradise
We had an amazing week at the Old Gin house. We stayed in a 2 room suite. Our balcony faced the Caribbean ocean. The sunset were spectacular and we could see nearby Saba island. Housekeeping pampered us by cleaning our room everyday. The attached restaurant had the most amazing menu. You couldn't ask more from the staff. Marlies, Sybolt, Esther and everyone else made you feel like family.
