The Admiral's Inn and Gunpowder Suites provided an unforgettable start to our honeymoon in Antigua. The customer service was exceptional—warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. The property itself was charming and impeccably maintained, offering a perfect blend of comfort and elegance. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to begin our journey. Highly recommended!
An incredible property. So many restaurants and bars in walking distance. The 18th century buildings are amazing and so unique. The staff has been wonderful. They made our bad situation of being stuck without a flight for a few nights an adventure to remember. If we come back to Antigua this is exactly where we will go!
The property is lovely. The staff is very accommodating. I would recommend staying in the garden stuites. The restaurants are good and offer vegan options. The bartender Reggie offered delicious drinks and Shama the asst mgr arranged a changing room after we checked out in order to swim and have lunch while waiting for our next boat accommodations on another property a few hours later. I would stay again.
The online pictures don't do it justice to just how beautiful Admiral's Inn and Gunpowder Suites are. The buildings are late 1700's and early 1800's. It was such a cool step back in time! There are several (at least 15) places to walk to and get different foods (Italian, Carribean, Seafood and more). The best restaurant hands down was Pillars at Admiral's Inn. Lunch at Boom (Gunpowder suites pool) was good also. We stayed on the Gunpowder side for 4 nights. After two nights we asked to be moved to a pool view room. They accommodated us mid-day even though they would have to re-clean our current room. Thank you, Admiral's Inn. We will be back!
We had a lovely, relaxing time at the Admiral's Inn. We loved staying in the historic district! Thoroughly enjoyed interacting with the staff members, particularly Reggie behind the bar. What a personable and interesting man!
I would say a big Thank you! to Shama(Mgr),Cecile,I believe her name is tamara. It wasn’t a pleasure trip, we were at a funeral and Shama, hospitality is on a different level. She checks in with me and my sister to see how everything is going. The staff is great! It starts with great leadership. Upgraded of the rooms is needed, I wish I can take Shama, with me to work in my company! Great job everyone!
Business Traveler room needs up grading
Standard room is way too small. Bathroom area too small. Ideal for a child or teenager.
Room doors loocks need to be upgraded.
But overall was good.
A very nice hotel, to stay for a few days as we did before returning home.
Courteous, helpful and friendly staff
Various dining options and other nearby restaurants

100% Recommended! Superb stay
First visit to Antigua and chose the Gunpowder Suites/Admirals inn for our stay. I’m so glad we did, the staff are amazing and nothing is too much bother they attend to your every need and more!
Fabulous setting in English Harbour. Amazing restaurants are within walking distance. I would definitely stay here again. Boom restaurant serves excellent food.
Beautiful location, wonderful history and surroundings. Plenty of choice of restaurants and bars to walk out to. Staff in Boom restaurant, particularly Shareen were lovely however staff in Pillars blew hot and cold so tended not to eat there. Room was rustic and spacious (loft3) but lacked insulation/ sound proofing, maybe due to age of building and restrictions but able to hear next door’s conversation and everything going on outside so awoken every morning early, owner did rectify some of the outside noise once bought to his attention but surrounding noise still a problem although it is a working dockyard so came down to our choice of room which although the largest was not the best for relaxing in.
Overall a lovely place, great atmosphere, would recommend.
