Greenheart Boutique Hotel

A wonderful super friendly place that I’d highly recommend. The staff and owners were amazing and couldn’t be more welcoming. It was like having family! The hotel garden is a little oasis of calm and green with a peaceful atmosphere. Our room was very clean and serviced to a high standard. I loved the pool and also enjoyed the tasty breakfasts. Will definitely be back!

Greenheart is a cosy, beautiful place with super friendly staff around you. The breakfast is healthy, coffee is great. The pool is super. Sun or shadow, you can choose. Drinks can be ordered as well. If you want to have a lunch, nice bread you can find it in the street. Meeting other guests is easy possible if you want. Woody (the turtle) did behave al though the kitchen seems a favorite of him. Recommended experience to go, Greenheart!

Very good hotel. Due to an issue at our booked appartment we had to get a room within an hour at night. The lady on the phone was super helpful with getting us a room and booked a taxi to the hotel from the appartment. Friendly staff, good breakfast. The owner was also really nice and helpful. Would reccomend 10/10!

My sister and I really enjoyed our stay - the people working at the hotel make the place really stand out. Shivani and Ischa made our visit so special and even organised a wonderful birthday tea for my daughter. The only thing I would say is that the lack of shade around the pool is a real shame and could so easily be remedied. A couple of parasols hardly take up any space at all, but would make a big difference to those who have to avoid the sun!

Right from the start it was on top of my hotel search list while planning our holiday in Surinam. For its beautiful, authentic design, its family-home nature and its near city-center location. We spent our first three nights here and, as we liked it so much, also our last three nights. Stacey, Shivanie and Catherine, the ladies at the reception, welcomed us very kindly at arrival and helped us out greatly during our stay. As did manager Gert with suggestions for great restaurants as well as a stay at the Jaw Jaw village along the upper Suriname river (also highly-recommended if you can cope with basic living conditions). With all of them and co-manager Manoj we had very pleasant discussions. The rooms and bathrooms are not too big but they are cosy and clean which applies to all aspects of the well-maintained hotel. One more reason why in no time we felt as if at home. A decent breakfast is served at a terrace at the back of the hotel. (In the corner the tortoise Woody may have his watermelon breakfast too.) It is then a 10 to 15 minutes walk from the hotel to the city centre where you can see the many 19th century wooden buildings on the Unesco herigate list or stroll along the Surinam river at the Waterkant or have a drink or meal at the popular cafes and restaurants at the Wakaman Pasi and the Sommeldijcksestraat. Being Dutch we walked to "Fietsen in Suriname", next to the Palm tree Garden, to rent bicycles to extend our range in the city (only advised for experienced bicycle riders, though). Back at the hotel you can cool down in or next to the pool and enjoy a drink from the bar. In the lobby an article on the wall documents how this beautiful hotel was renovated from its ruins using Surinam wood only. By staying at this hotel you do those who renovated and run it a favour but especially yourself.

We loved the Greenheart! The building itself is very much worth seeing—a wooden marvel made from local timber—and the service is excellent. We deeply appreciated all the help and suggestions we got from manager Jerry and from all the staff at the desk. We had an enjoyable, comfortable visit, and we would recommend it.
