Atendimentos dos funcionários, perto do Museu Bob Marley
Nos indicaram um táxi para a rodoviária que nos extorquiu, cobrando o dobro do combinado. E a acomodação não se deu o trabalho nem de responder minha mensagem de reclamação.
Wszystko z tym hotelem ok: jest czysto, w pokoju jest klimatyzacja, ręczniki i mydło. Wystrój ok, choć nie jakiś ekskluzywny. Można zjeść śniadanie podane przez przemiły personel. Cała obsługa miła i pomocna. Lokalizacja: w bezpiecznej części niebezpiecznego (podobno) Kingston. Spacerkiem można dojść do muzeum/domu Boba Marleya.
To jest hotel budżetowy, na jedną - dwie noce, w standardzie "dobre na pracę w delegacji". Ale w okolicy w tej cenie nie ma lepszego wyboru. Na romantyczny pobyt albo pobyt z dziećmi w ogóle nie polecam Kingston.
I liked the cleanliness of the property and how friendly the staff was.
There wasn't much to dislike.
GREAT LOCATION
La ubicación
Mala la señal de wifi
The staff was very pleasant n hospitable. The breakfast was good
How close it was to every where
The WiFi was really bad
This was a central location. Very friendly and considerate staff. Felt safe at the site.. Loved that it had safe parking on site.
Nothing not to like. It's basic, but met all our needs and was clean.
Breakfast was great, the location was central to what we needed
The heat. Lol. It was hotter than..........
Quiet
There was hair in the shower from the previous visitor and the toilet handle was broken
The breakfast was good Lunch was better Security men and front desk clerks very friendly and helpful Location good Everyone friendly
Beds too small certainly wasn't a Queen Rooms need upgrading in decorating..maybe some pictures like other rooms Bathroom door opens too close to sink... lamps are needed Had to get up in the dark to get to bathroom as light switches for all lights are on the wall..
Tiene una excelente ubicación , cerca de zona de restaurantes ,Museo de Bob Marley , vecindario tranquilo y seguro . Personal muy amable con buen desayuno
El agua de la ducha apenas tibia , el baño estaba tapado , se escucha mucho ruido en las habitaciones de planta baja
The hotel was quiet and clean with friendly staff. Breakfast was amazing. The shower was very good. A member of staff also went out and bought a hairdryer as mine wasn’t working. So impressed!
Nothing!
Mangoes and breakfast
Internet was weak and unstable at times
The room and the staff
Staff are phenomenal, very nice and clean place, and also really yummy Jamaican breakfast! Location is great, and close to everything. Would definitely return.
Not an issue at all for us but I assumed there was a bar fridge, and our room was one floor above so needed to carry suitcase via stairs.
The room
The cost
La atención del personal fue muy amable y estuvieron prestos a ayudarnos en todo momento. El hotel es pequeño, pero agradable y está ubicado en una zona tranquila. La habitación es algo estrecha, pero estuvo bien para nuestra estancia
La oferta del restaurante es algo limitada
Friendly staff and good location
Staff were lovely. Safe and clean. Easy to get around.
We only stayed one night. No complaints.
都很好,特别是前台几位女士,因为我不会外语,她们帮助我用优步,帮助我和司机沟通。非常耐心,像天使一样。
Lovely Jamaican breakfast. The rooms were plain and very clean. the A/C worked fine. And more importantly everyone I interacted with was friendly and courteous.
I took the breakfast option for $25 a person. The price of the meals at the little restaurant was $10. So I was a little annoyed about over paying for that. I hope the extra dollars went to the staff.
La atención del personal es excelente
I will say the food was good, and the security and location were also positives.
The property did not meet my expectations. My room was not properly cleaned and felt very unmaintained, I had to clean the room myself along with my mom’s help which was disappointing. .Also, in the dining area, you are expected to eat on a dirty tablecloth they need to change the table after each person finish with the table. Aunts all over the bed lizards poop on the windows and floor . I had to pull the bed away from the window so the aunts won’t go on the bed ,as they use the curtains that’s rest on the bed to go on the bed
Very nice and quiet place
Simple and basic accommodation that is clean and well maintained, in a great location.
There were issues with our reservation (Booking.com) and the guy on front desk was only concerned with his technology. Also, we ordered take out that came with no fork or spoon, but the same fella couldn't (or wouldn't) help.
comodo check in, letto molto ampio
odore chimico di profumatore per ambienti
Locatie en schoon en veilig
De vriendelijkheid was redelijk. Moesten lang wachten bij binnenkomst omdat de mevrouw aan de telefoon zat. Ze had ons even welkom kunnen heten en vragen om even te wachten vanwege haar lange gesprek. Maar zelfs een knikje of hallo met haar hand was er niet. Niet echt een fijn welkom.

I am pleased with the facilities & I was most impressed with the staff, they polite & courteous, very helpful & informative, I would definitely recommend “Shirley Retreat” to anybody, it was a great way to begin my holiday. I intend to return to “Shirley Retreat” in the future as a launch to other areas of Jamaica.
I can’t honestly say that there was anything I didn’t like about the property, I was made to feel comfortable & welcomed.
Location is perfect so many restaurants all attractions near by. Staff is nice room also good. Ac is very strong which is a must in jamaican heated weather. Private parking also available good.
Absolutely loved it!! Price was good breakfast included! Staff was extra friendly, the rooms were very clean!! Check in was EASY and fast ..PRIME LOCATION
CLEANNNNNN
Coffee in the morning
Parking space too small Wished I had a microwave and fridge in my first room
The location is great. The staff were very calm and responsive (I requested extra linens and towels and got a whole set 😄). My partner loved the breakfast and she is very picky.
The Wi-Fi was a bit weak but it works.

Geringe Entfernung zum Bob Marley-Museum (ca. 300m).
Frühstücksraum nur rudimentär eingerichtet. Dort keinerlei Lüftungsmöglichkeit, entsprechend war die abgestandene Luft. Das inkludiert Frühstück: 2 harte Toastscheiben, undefinierbare Masse=Butter?, 1 warmes Glas Wasser, 1 Tasse schwarze Brühe=Kaffee? ein wenig Rührei Indiskutabel für 3 Sterne-Hotel!!! Keine Frühstücksalternative in der Nähe.
It was a lovely space for a good budget. The staff were was very tentative to my needs.
The only part was the lack of cash to exchange money. But it was figured out rather smoothly.
Clean and good location
Bit dated and could do with renovation
Bem localizada
El desayuno estuvo bueno, y el personal amable. Muy cercano al Museo de Bob Marley y a la estación de buses.
I love my stay at Shirley's hotel....the staff professional and the food was delicious 😋.....lovely
I wish they had a pool.😄
Safe and lovely location, hood facilities and Outstanding staff. Especially, Colin from evening shift and day shit front desk (sorry I forgot her name) attendants were exceptionally helpful, pleasant and attentive. Great value for the money
Not much. All was great.
Die Lage ist Top.
Das Frühstück war sehr einfach nur Eier und Toast, keine Früchte einfach schade. Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig.
The bed was very comfortable, slept well and the area is extremely quiet
No available hangers in the room. Breakfast was average, should have been served with fruit.
It was secure and clean and the younger members of staff were very helpful.
Poor breakfast only 2 choices both $ 10 for very little and no fresh fruit or pastries on the limited choice menu. Or any fruit juice. The hotel is basic very old school b&b and washed towels every day which is not very sustainable. The verandah was always used by security staff and hence had their noisy iPads etc. The bedrooms have paper thin walls and was kept away on two nights by very noisy guests.
The breakfast was good. The location very convenient.
Plenty of parking. Comfortable veranda. Sat in the lobby. Bathroom available for use downstairs. The room was clean. Air conditioned .big closet. And thank God my room had a refrigerator . That was a big deal. I will definitely be back soon.
No elevator. Every room is upstairs. I could hear everything in the hallway. I think the clubs are nearby. No view but that was ok. I went to sleep.
Peraonal muy amable y localizacion excepcional
La posizione,, parcheggio gratuito, gentilezza della reception
Poca isolazione acustica tra le stanze
No shampoo, no hairdryer, no complimentary water. Cannot pay with credit card.
Très satisfait de l'accueil C'est un bel endroit et bien situé.
Ras
Sehr liebe Damen in der Küche. Das war absolut das Beste am „Hostel“. Ok für Besuch von Kingston, mehr aber nicht.
Sehr unfreundliches Empfangspersonal. Sehr schaade, weil nicht viele Leute dort sind und das Personal zu 90% am Handy ist. Bett war sauber, aber Lacken dreckig. Boden voller Haare. Keine Ahnung, wann das letzte mal gereinigt wurde.
The location was the only good thing and Mr Patrick was quite friendly.
I detested the fact that this hotel is being renovated and I was oblivious until I got there. I was rudely awakened for the four mornings I was there, by loud hammering and drilling. It was also quite distasteful to be meeting workmen with their pants under their bottoms in the hallway. I also had to hear their base conversations as one of them seemed to be trying to get the attention of one of the female staff members. Additionally, I was unable to sleep in late peacefully and I was extremely disappointed as I was on vacation. I also had to endure a pounding headache due to the construction noises. The backyard is also very unkempt and could do with some nice plants.
Location was central and easily accessible
The short stay.
Доброжелательные девушки на ресепшене. Своя территория под охраной. Все прошло отлично.
The location, the staff are lovely and the breakfast.
Nothing
They are very nice and friendly and accommodating. I would most definitely go back.
The staff at the reception were very kind and patient with me even though my English was not good, and at check-in the lovely secretary ordered a taxi for me so I could buy a SIM and exchange money. Really lovely, thank you very much.
The refrigerator didn't work from the start, but we only closed for 2 nights so we managed without it.
The stairs as we had a few bags and a lift would have been good
It’s clean and the staff is very kind
Una casetta al centro a Kingston che ti fa sentire a casa. Parcheggio custodito, silenziosa e pulita.
Per la colazione (spartana) bisogna avvisare per tempo.
Very clean
Loved how clean the place was
There was no dislike
Cozy

Ubicación cerca del museo de Bob Marley
El ruido que se oía desde la habitación y la luz que entraba por la puerta
The location is really convenient. Short walk to nearby restaurants and a safe area. Room was quite comfortable too
Not a luxury hotel of course, but you get what you paid for; clean, confortable and safe place to sleep. Jamaican breakfasts was delish.
This property was convenient and safe. It was clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable.
AC was not cooling. phone in rm not working to call front desk. Night shift girl was really friendly.
