Very ideal location on the BayFront, close to restaurants, shopping centres, tourist sites and the park, the ferry terminals and the tram. With regards to the actual property, the room was not cleaned properly and not adequately stocked eith toiletries. There isn't a refrigerator or hot cup in the room either. Also, there isn't a lift and the rooms start from the 2nd floor, therefore you will have to climb a minimum of 3 sets of stairs to get to your room.. with your luggage.

Clean but noisy location & difficult to find.
Room and bed were satisfactory. Bathroom was sort off ok but the whole toilet unit moved when sat on! Location was not idea as its on the corner of two very city roads; traffic lasted through until midnight and the city refuge collectors were operational at 05.00hrs. So to sum up, it was noisy with traffic and people. Also, the hotel is very difficult to find - the only sign we saw was on the entrance door saying Bayfront hotel on a small sign 300mm x 200mm. No signs at all on the hotel frontage which started first floor up to 4th floor! We actually drove passed the entrance door about 4 times before I pulled in to double check on the hotels address on my iPhone!

Fantastic location and price in Fort de France
The enormous advantage that this small hotel has is it's fantastic location. The host is delightful, helpful and informative. It is a five minute walk to the local tourism information office and there is a great park just over the road is the La Savane park. A 10 second walk and you are on the waterfront with access to the main bus lines and the ferries. A less than 10 minute walk toward the Fort and on a hot sunny day you may get the chance to photograph an Iguana. Just around the corner is the local tourist information office. Don't expect great in-room facilities but this is Martinique so no need to stay in your room - get out and enjoy the island. The hotel has a great veranda overlooking the park and is a prime location during Carnival time. The stairs are great for your legs and, as the rooms are air-conditioned, you can get a great nights sleep. You would be hard pushed to find a better rate and location in Fort de France.

It has its charm
This was a hotel with more of a beach B&B feel. The owner/manager was incredibly helpful and took great care to look after us during our stay. The actual hotel is dated but clean and the location is unrivaled. We were able to walk to the ferry to catch boats and tours every day. It’s one of the few areas you don’t need a car but we were able to rent a car to visit Le Francoise.

This stay was truly a step back in time. The hotel is an old building with no elavator . The Gentalman that greeted us couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful.... a true Gentalman. The hotel offers charm and a very central location to the cultural center of Martinique... Had a very nice stay.

Quiet hotel, great location,friendly owner. You need to buzz to be let in and out the hotel, and if there is no one around this can be frustrating. Also beware, owner told be if you reserve but don't pay in advance, he may give your room away!

great location on La Savane
Great location for an evening arrival at FDF. Hotel wasn't the cleanest place I've stayed, but the ac worked, bed was fine, and the location couldn't be better for exploring the town. Hotel also does 24 hour car rentals.

Nice hotel, great location.
Great location walking distance to the fort and many great restaurants. The staff was incredibly accommodating, hadn't received our reservation from expedia yet but had no problem giving us a room anyway. They also got a cheap and prompt taxi to take us to the airport very early in the morning.

Poor Expetience
I had a bad experience with Bayfront Hotel. Rather than own up to thier failings they have made inaccurate and untruthful reponses about myself and family. We never said we had the same bad experience in Dominica.  We didn't even stay at a hotel in Dominica.   My Children were not too noisy. We heard other guests making loud door close noises late thru the night hotel also falsified concerning breakfast. I said that I thought breakfast was included as I often use hotels.com and sometimes include breakfast in my bookings. I have noticed that the hotel has not commented on broken shower rail, smell of cigarette smoke, inadequate taxi booking, their lying about checkout time and noise by other guests at odd times of the night. I was also asked not to eat in the hotel room because it would bring cockroaches implying that they have a control problem with cockroaches. Hotel manager needs to improve their standards and service and stop blaming others.  Hotel star recommendation does not suit Bayfront hotel and should be lowered.  Family stayed at Simon Hotel two weeks before in Martinique  and had an absolute wonderful time. Simon Hotel was excellent and was of superb quality. I have also booked a hundred and more hotels over the last five years so I am well qualified to make assessments and comparisons among hotels.  Bayfront Hotel provided a poor experience. Please relay to Bayfront Hotel. Please ask Bayfront not to respond to me but to please sort their problems out

Incredibly friendly welcome, clean hotel
A 7-minute walk from the ports (cruise dock & ferry terminal), Bayfront Hotel has a homey feel and overlooks the bay from the edge of old city Fort-de-France. Super-kind, respectful staff, clean and tidy rooms with simple furnishings. Note that there is no lift / elevator. I'd recommend it for anyone looking to stay in this part of the city.

Noisy. Poorly air conditioned. Had to walk up 5 flights of stairs. The breakfast was overpriced; no dining option alternatives nearby. What frustrated most of all was that there was no one at the front desk at 8 AM when we checked out and needed to ask questions to regarding how to get to the ferry terminal (the waitress in the hotel restaurant spoke no English). Overpriced for what we got. Would not stay there again.

Great hotel, friendly staff
Despite the short time spent at your establishment (one night) my stay was well spent. I look forward to returning for a longer time. Very nice place. Love it. Thanks for everything. Special thanks to Mr. Serge for his great help especially with the lodging certificate.
