Pros:

We stayed at the Marine view for 10 nights. First impressions the hotel seemed a bit tired and in need of some TLC, however the staff were accommodating and helpful and the hotel was in a good location with easy access to the main attractions. The area may seem a little sketchy at first but we had no issues walking about.
The restaurant served very nice food the price was inline with other prices in the area.
The pool area was quiet and we often felt it was our own private pool,
Overall a good experience, I would recommend it for travellers on a budget or single travellers who want to stay central to the action.

A few recommendations I would politely request are;
1. The rooms have a bin, there was only one in the bathroom.
2.Kettle with cups
3. Iron
4.regular fresh towels

The Best Place to Stay…
Pros:

I’ve found a hotel that provides exceptional hospitality and makes me feel warm and welcomed. The staff at The Marine View Hotel has done an excellent job in creating a positive and memorable environment for me to become a regular guest over the years whenever I visit Jamaica. Being loyal guest at The Marine View Hotel have its perks, such as receiving personalized service, special discounts, or even room upgrades. It's great that you've found a place that suits all my needs. I Enjoy and I will continued stays at The Marine View Hotel!

Pros:

I think “ok” is the best word to describe it. If you have activities planned in Ocho Rios it’s an ok place to sleep.

No problems here for me😊
Pros:

Enjoyed my visit and had no issues. Room and pool clean. Quiet. For the money was great and will return. If you want fancy go to the resorts... If you want nice ppl and are on a budget this is fine! Common sense keeps you safe.

NOT as advertised, not pleasurable & not relaxing
Pros:

3 different internet connections and 2 of the three SAY that they DO NOT WORK by saying NO INTERNET once connected, the water ran black out of the bathroom faucet, the A/C was nothing more than a corner cooler, ....... furthermore the refrigerator had to be plugged in to cool for an hour or more to be usable as well as the TV and cable box, not to mention the late in to the night BOOM boxing that thumped through the building till what seemed like 5am.

scary and extremly loud
Pros:

Unprofessional and rude manager. Very loud music and base until 3 am both nights! No chance to sleep. No security guard. Gate stayed open at night. No water at times. No wifi in room. Toilet broke. Ants in the bathroom. The neighborhood is scatchy and scary and there is not much to do within walking distance. Locals harass you on the premesis.

Clean and quiet
Pros:

This hotel is a little worn but it was perfect for us. We wanted to explore downtown Ocho Rios and this was a good choice. I did laundry in our bathtub and hung the clothes out on the deck and didn't feel that the hotel would mind. Some people in our group enjoyed visiting with other travelers in the lobby area downstairs. The Wifi worked best in that area as well.

The breakfasts were wonderful and served very quickly after we ordered. I liked that they served Jamaican breakfasts but I think they may have served other cuisine as well. The neighborhoods around this hotel seemed a little questionable so I didn't feel that I should leave valuables in the hotel. However, I enjoyed the short walk to the market area and felt reasonably safe in the blocks surrounding the hotel. I wouldn't recommend wandering around in the dark alone but I felt safe in a group.
