Küche super, Empfangspersonal sehr unfreundlich, Boden dreckig.
Pros:

Sehr liebe Damen in der Küche. Das war absolut das Beste am „Hostel“.
Ok für Besuch von Kingston, mehr aber nicht.

Cons:

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.

My stay at Shirley Retreat was very disappointing as I was unaware it is an active construction site
Pros:

The location was the only good thing and Mr Patrick was quite friendly.

Cons:

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.

Lovely place, recommended
Pros:

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.

Cons:

The refrigerator didn't work from the start, but we only closed for 2 nights so we managed without it.

Ottimo alloggio al centro di Kingston.
Pros:

Una casetta al centro a Kingston che ti fa sentire a casa. Parcheggio custodito, silenziosa e pulita.

Cons:

Per la colazione (spartana) bisogna avvisare per tempo.
