Rosedon

This is a very nice hotel, with an elegant main building. The hotel bedrooms are in two wings, on two levels. Overall we enjoyed our stay, and Hamilton is a great hub if you want to travel around the island. Our room was well furnished, with ample hanging and drawer space. The king bed however was a little too large for the room, with the left hand side being too close to a window, insufficient room to even walk on that side. The bed was comfortable but also very high, making it a stretch to get in and out of you are less than 5ft 7ins. The housekeeping was very good, except our laundry did not get returned on time, and we had to chase it before it eventually arrived the following day. Our bathroom has a strong musty smell which we realised was coming from the bath drain and we kept our door open whenever sitting outside. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool, sitting on our terrace, and having the buffet breakfast in the main building each morning. Most of the other diners appeared to be members of the public, business people, rather than hotel guests. We did not have dinner in their Huckleberry restaurant as we weren’t sure why everything seemed to be accompanied by curry froth, puréed carrots etc, and it was all rather expensive. The hotel is lovely, but you do need to be fit to really enjoy it. If you have any mobility problems you will find the steep driveway a problem when walking to and from the hotel, and the numerous steps to reach your room are an additional problem. We had asked for a ground floor room, and were even told we had one when we checked in. But we didn’t, we had a first floor (2nd floor US). This turned out to be a blessing as the ground floor rooms are down by the pool, with even more steps up the hotel and restaurant. We were disappointed to find that the hotel is not near any bus stops, as we travelled every day around Bermuda on the excellent buses and ferries. The bus map says there are bus stops by the Ferry Terminal but the Visitor Center told us we had to go to the Bus Terminal itself to actually get on a bus. Another long steep walk. That’s of course not the fault of the hotel, just the way the bus routes are planned. The hotel was very helpful in booking our taxi to and from the hotel, which was excellent with our driver telling us a lot about the Island. If we were younger and not bothered by hills and steps we would stay here again. However, the day we left they announced in the local paper that they are starting a renovation this fall, including redoing the bathrooms, adding a pizzeria at the front of the hotel and a bar by the pool, which will be open to the public. The last would not have appealed to us as we and other guests relished our quiet evenings sitting out on our terraces.

Small boutique hotel that has captured our hearts. The position of this hotel affords easy access to Hamilton by foot. The Huckleberry Restaurant run by Chef Damien and his kitchen has competence, creativity, flavor and attention to detail for breakfast, lunch and dinner! They went above and beyond to help me with food selections that accommodated my allergies. Every morning our family met on the gorgeous veranda for breakfast. Try all the dishes they are superb . The pool area and lounge areas are beautiful! At the heart of every great hotel is its staff. From management to their support staff they are the ones that remember your name and ask how you are doing and can they help in any way. Outgoing and thoughtful. We are already planning our next family get together next year here.

The hotel is close walk from town , made it so practical for visitor like us . Service was good rooms were well kept clean. We can recommend this hotel to friends and fsmilies Will be back Thanks Rosedon See you again Keeo it up MThanks to all the staff management

The Rosedon is a combination of classy and cozy. It has an old school classic sophistication, but with all the modern amenities. Mere feet from bustling streets, it's porch, gardens and pool area are quieting sanctuaries for modern day worries. The food here is outstanding and we took advantage!!! My wife and I would like to shout out to Homer, who answered all of our questions regarding things to do (...and details on how to get there), Mathew who took care of transportation and our drink order which he personally delivered to the pool area. Lovely Marian who dutifully queried our plane info and arranged pickup and drop-off for the airport (navigating our many JetBlue woes). York and Daniel who were our breakfast heroes. I am only embarrassed to not recall our excellent waiter Saturday evening (we were room 10), but would like to recognize him. Our "people" experience at the Rosedon begs for a return visit sooner than later.

Stopped in for afternoon tea and met the most amazing person who provided the best service. Mr. Cole Simmons is an absolute gem, his warm and welcoming personality fits in perfectly with the Rosedon charm. Recommend anyone to visit. It’s a must!

Our first trip to Bermuda and we stayed at the lovely Rosedon Hotel. The staff is very friendly and attentive, the rooms are lovely (we overlooked the pool) the location is central with easy access to the main downtown corridor. The Huckleberry restaurant menu is varied - we had breakfast, lunch and appetizers - all delicious meals. We cannot wait to visit Bermuda again and he Rosedon is our first choice!

As a gardener, being at this hotel was like living in a Botanical garden! The flowers, shrubs, trees and plants were exquisite. The only thing better was the lovely, caring staff--Joel--serving us breakfast, Zuria & Brianna--helping us at the front desk, and Sam, the transportation manager who took us an a fabulous 3 hour tour of part of the island. Our room and the patios and chaise lounges were spotless and cleaned every day, and the owner, Matthew, sharing wonderful information about the history of the hotel.

The Rosedon is a lovely Hotel in every way. I seek out smaller family-owned and operated properties because we've had superior more personal experiences in small luxury hotels. Our room had recently been renovated, and we were asked whether there was anything that they had neglected to consider. The decor was peaceful, the bed VERY comfortable, and the closet large and well organized for two people. Plenty of seating choices and several tables, chairs and a love seat outside on the patio, where we chose to eat breakfast each morning. The food! Complementary breakfast choices - we tried them all: fresh fruit plate, oatmeal, croissants and tea cakes. Carafes of coffee and an assortment of teas. I asked our sever on the first morning for real sugar versus a substitute and for chamomile tea for my husband, who wasn't feeling well. He remembered this request and brought them every day until our departure. Dinner was exceptional - the best dining in Bermuda, hands down. The office and even room cleaning staff were a pleasure to interact with. As my husband wasn't feeling well, they were flexible enough to arrange for us to dine at one of the tables poolside on a couple of evenings. The grounds are beautiful, the pool area sheltered from the wind in a configuration that I don't think would be possible at any of the big hotels across the street. Highly recommended!

The service and personnel at The Rosedon are fantastic, and they put The Princess across the road to shame. The Huckleberry restaurant has an interesting and choice menu, and the location is really great.
