after a long day of flights and commuting in Kingston,we felt that this place was too noisy (there's a bar in the back yard the closes at the wee hours) for us. The price for the private room with shared bathroom we had was too high. The hostel is very clean.

Hi Orly, Thanks for taking the time to write this review! We apologize for the noise issue that you experienced. This was an isolated situation due to the inexperience of the staff member at the bar who mistakenly went beyond the stipulated closing time to please the full house of guests that we accommodated that night.

One could respectably remain on the premises and just hang out with all the other travelers. Being the vast minority in Kingston, guests rejuvenate at the hostel bar and patio and swap stories from the field.

Ideal base to explore Kingston. Hostel is very secure and in a quiet location. Rooms basic but v clean, great backpacker/ young couple accomodation. Nights out organised to street parties from front desk, though we didn't have time to do this. Would def stay again.

My wife and I had a great time, good staff, room was nice and clean and not far from important places like: supermakert, restaurants, bus station and parks. Breakfast was good and also they have a very nice area in the backyard, perfect to have drinks before party.

The reggae hostel is a great place to stay in Kingston. You feel welcome and very safe. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The beds, rooms and common areas are clean and you can chill out in the hammocks or in the sofas. Go see Kingston and stay at the Reggae Hostel.

Reggae House Hostel is an easy place to spend a few days or a few weeks. It is comfortable, spacious, and located near a main travel hub for taxis and buses throughout the city. Surrounded by a walled-in lot with security gate, the property feels open and relaxed, yet secured and safe. Scottie and Vana are like family, and they... More
