Staff is so welcoming, informative, & kind. It's like a B&B with a unique charm & hostel all at the same time. Great location. Chill on property, but within a very exciting side of Kingston. Near transportation & food. Safe, but also alive in all the right ways. Thanks Raggamuffin :)

The room, the security and the inside and outside chilling/communal area was great. Tho the kitchen wasn’t looked after very well, also more kitchen utensils would have been needed. I know the kitchen isn’t big, but I remember only seeing three forks… :/

If you really value home cooking and family atmosphere, this is the hostel you need to stay. They have after hours party almost every night, you do not need to go outside clubbing which makes the place very great to go as security in Kingston is an issue . You will be secure as you need access card to get inside the place . The staffs were amazing and believe me I will go back to stay .

There is always a lot of people from Haiti, there are very loud and never leave the hostel, i barely could sleep in my whole stay, the female receptionist wasn't friendly at all.

Posizione ottima, vicinissimo al Bob Marley museum e a un posticino con locali carini che fa sempre musica dal vivo. Struttura adatta se sei di passaggio perche la stanzona con 20 letti è comunque sempre super rumorosa giorno e notte pero letti comodi e soprattutto ben isolati tra di loro. I servizi (bagni/docce) sono piuttosto pessimi plus non c’è aria condizionata ne niente quindi praticamente una sauna.

Super hostel! Sehr sauber und freundliches Personal. Hatte den female dort für 2 Nächte gebucht, aber musste dann nach einer Nacht das Zimmer wechseln, weil jemand anderes wohl vor mir gebucht hat. Verstand ich nicht ganz, aber ok. Betten sind bequem, Küche könnte etwas mehr Equipment haben, zum Beispiel mehr als einen Löffel. Ich würde wiederkommen!

A great place to live. Young, friendly receptionists, atmosphere, events. I love this place, it's neither too small nor too big. Jamaica forever in my heart💛 I’m working on it to be back. Blessing from Colombia now.

The hostel feels safe and secure and is in a good location. Aircon is such a bonus, though the kitchen and showers were a little basic. Has good social/chill spaces and really handy having the cafe next door. Wifi was good too and also was nice being able to do your own laundry and use the line to dry. My only criticism is that sometimes it was difficult to know who was working reception/ sometimes there wasnt anyone there.

I booked the 6 bed female dorm, but when I arrived he had given my bed away to someone else, and I had to stay in the 20 bed mixed dorm. The guy at reception had smoked too much and was way too out of it to solve the problem properly. I don’t mind weed at all but being that blazed was what caused it. Other than that, it’s a social place, really easy to meet people, nice outside area, and it’s close to the Bob Marley museum.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hostel, tje beds are large and comfortable with everything you need. Privacy curtains and power outlet etc. the hostel looks cool too. I just thought it was odd because when I extended by one night (direct with the hostel) and i was charged 50,000 JMD when it was cheaper on HostelWorld. It is quite expensive but I will say it’s a lovely hostel.

Es un hostel simple, con las comodidades basicas, las habitaciones compartidas son como de a 20 camas aproximadamente y cuenta con aire acondicionado. Lo mejor de este hostel es que queda cerca de la casa museo de Bob Marley!
