Calypso Nevis Hotel

Simple room with few amenities. It’s hard to recommend this hotel. I can see the potential, but it seems it’s declined since it opened. Friendly staff. Weird experience. There is no reception - it’s just an empty building. The rooms are of fine size but lack any amenities. There is no fridge, no coffee, no ironing board, no iron, no microwave. The WiFi has a bizarrely difficult password. There was no fitted sheet, just a flat sheet draped over the mattress with a very thin microfiber blanket. No extra blankets. No one to call for extra blankets. Mattress super uncomfortable. No restaurant. No vending. No nice. No ocean access. The door is translucent letting light pour in after sunrise. Receptionist leaves at 4. The view is nice. The rooms are clean. It feels safe enough. The few staff I saw were helpful and friendly. It feels like a dream not yet realized.

We stayed for 3 nights here at the Calypso Hotel in mid May. It being the end of the tourist season, there were only about 2 other guests at the hotel. The hotel is on the exact opposite side of the island from Charlestown, so it was extremely quiet and peaceful, while still only being a 20 minute drive at most to get to places like charlestown and Pinney’s beach. We were greeted and welcomed by the owner (Leo, I believe). He was extremely hospitable and always available to help and bring us whatever we needed. All the rooms have a large back porch that give a great view of the Atlantic. The rooms are immaculately clean, especially the bathrooms. The shower is different than what we are used to: basically the entire bathroom doubles at the shower with a floor drain set back behind the toilet. Again, different but it worked just fine for us. The rooms are of a good size, with a minimalist/modern design. A/C works great, fast wifi. The only downside we noticed while there is that the walls are quite thin, so noise from adjacent guests may be audible in the room. But the hotel does have rules about noise in the evening, and staff will make sure that all guests are taken care of and able to enjoy their stay. We very much enjoyed our stay at the Calypso, and would definitely return to stay again if we ever make our way back to Nevis in the future.

I would like them to jave a small fridge in the room, impossible

Great place.
