Mantis St Helena

This was my second stay at the Mantis (for work reasons) and I would happily come back again. My room was very comfortable. The real highlight was the very friendly staff.

The Mantis hotel on St Helena is great place to stay. We just spent 8 nights with them. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. They even had a cake for me on my birthday. Breakfasts were included and good. They also offered lunch and dinner and food was ok. The internet situation wasn’t ideal but it was good when it worked in the room. We had to ask for new passwords quite a few times. Aside from that, it’s the best hotel to stay while in the island.

I ate at the hotel during my last visit. (Last week) Despite the hotel just having a new manager parachuted in and very little staff at the time, the manager made extra effort to make sure our dinner guests were kept engaged while getting our meals out. Food was good and enjoyable in comparison to some other venues, pudding choices were very limited was the only observation even with very low numbers using the restaurant. The new manager seems keen to improve the service on this occasion he was very apologetic for the already reasonably good service. A recommendation would be to make the restaurant attractive to local people, better advertising locally as the hotel services is kind of unknown for the period I was in town.
