Newly renovated hotel, and a great location in Aruba
With a location far from the touristy parts of Aruba, yet close to the airport and center of town, this colonial spot is a perfect choice for a low-key Caribbean vacation. Guests at the Talk of the Town Hotel & Beach Club are treated to complimentary breakfast every morning, and membership in the beach club across the road at Surfside Beach. The hotel has a partnership with PADI-certified S.E. Aruba Fly 'n Dive.Talk of the Town Hotel & Beach Club Rooms

SOUL BEACH
This hotel was perfect for the Soul Beach 2012. Nikky Beach was the concert location & it was directly across the street from this hotel. It had no curb appeal. Exterior paint was needed and lobby could have used a make-over. Upon, check-in, they had no record of my booking. I wasnt happy to hear this and they were booked full. I whipped out a copy of my reservation and waited 30 min for a room to magically appear. Breakfast was hearty with eggs, pasteries,bacon or sausage. Room could have been cleaner and floors could have used a scrub with bleach. Bar staff was wonderful ! ! Stay here if you have low expectations. 2 stars is the correct rating.

Nikky Beach was the location of Soul Beach 2012 concerts. This hotel was directly across the street from the venue. I was able to walk >10 min to the market place which had lots of dining and attractions.

Money-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
Walk a few minutes to downtown and save a lot of money on the cost of a taxi and walk back to the hotel to get a taxi to the airport to save even more.

Spring Break Trip
Talk of the Town is a great place to stay. Not only is it walking distance from the center of town and right across the street from the beach, but its unpretentious, tranquil atmosphere makes it a great stay. It is the perfect environment to just sit back and relax without having to compete with the hoards of tourists in one of the larger resorts. The service is extremely hospitable and personal. You aren't just a number among hundreds of people. Special thanks to Ilidio at the front desk for not only giving us thorough advice about Aruba but for also taking the time to be a friend. I have nothing but positive things to say about this place.

Not Applicable
Take the time to drive around the island and get acquainted with it. Aruba has tons to see and it's not difficult to find your way around the island. The staff at this hotel is extremely helpful with that. FYI: an SUV is best if you are going to Arikok National Park. A sedan won't work too easily...

The hotel was Disgusting
we had a wonderful time in Aruba. Except the hotel was filthy, toilet didn't work, towels were disgusting, pillows had stain. They serve watery eggs for breakfast. [...] should have never referred their customer's to talk of the town hotel. For that reason I will never do business with [...] again.

Be sure to visit the national bridge, light house and all that. Our tour guy from the DePalm Tour, Ray, was very informative and had a great sense of humor.

Talk of the Town Hotel, Aruba
We've stayed at other hotel in Aruba with cheaper rate that was more upscale, with better service than what we paid for at Talk of the Town. The "hot breakfast" left a lot to be desired, the closet in the room had an awful, musty odor that made clothes hung in the closet reek.

Great location for getting to airport
We stayed there to be close to airport because of early flight out. Did not know they were having a party in the pool area just below our room. They partied hard until about 1:00 AM, I had to be at the airport at 5:30 AM, had a very hard time getting up and ready to leave. They should let you know and give you a room away from noise if you can not stay and enjoy the party with them.
