Pros:

The front desk agent was great, I don't remember her name, she's slim and has dark skin. The kitchen team cooked the best ackee and saltfish. Shout-out to the housekeeper and the gentleman who opened the gate and the door. I'll definitely be back.

Shirley Retreat review
Pros:

The staff were very courteous and the breakfast from the kitchen staff exceptional. Shout out to tye lady that served us in the kitchen!

Cons:

You could hear noise or sound from doors and conversations but I guess it's an old property so this could be the reason.

Cannot fault anything
Pros:

Nice room, I had 2 rooms. King-size bed and double bed. Separate rooms very private. Lovely staff at the reception. Big thanks to the cooks who provided me with a meal as I had to check out early. Lovely curry chicken meal.

My short stay at Shirley Retreat
Pros:

The staff. The day and night security guards were very helpful, very polite and very professional. The ladies at the front desk very professional, very respectful, always with a smile. The ladies that provided our breakfast very nice, very pleasant. I got my ackee and saltfish every morning. The ladies that cleaned the rooms did an excellent job. The area was very quiet, the building was very peaceful.

Cons:

Climbing those stairs. I tripped twice.😪🤣. I really cannot think of anything negative to say about this place.

Boa estadia, perto do Museu Bob Marley
Pros:

Atendimentos dos funcionários, perto do Museu Bob Marley

Cons:

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.

Dobrze zorganizowany i niedrogi hotel w lepszej części Kingston.
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.
