Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Cool hostel, good location in Kingston, New Kingston is quite safe. Comfortable beds and they have a bar if you need to get breakfast though it's not included. Really friendly and helpful staff. We only stayed one night but would stay again. WiFi is good.

The place was super clean and in a great location and neighborhood. The host was lovely and was able to fulfill all our requests. They even went as far as to extend our check-out time so my partner could arrive at the airport in time for her flight. I've decided that this is where I want to be for our next outing. The place even had additional things that made preparing meals cheaper and easier. Super happy we made that choice or else it would have been more costly

Great location and fantastic value for money! We were visiting for Jamaica carnival and it felt like we were right in the middle of all of the action. Food was delicious and the property is very safe. Also, it’s right next to the Pegasus hotel so could enjoy the amenities there as well.

Great location (not much to do around the hostel but the area is really safe), great staff, great place to meet other solo travelers, and probably the best dorm you'll ever stay at.

Location close to Devon House, close to Banks in New Kingston and Waterloo Road for Starbucks, supermarket and pharmacy ( cheaper than Devon House coffee/tea rooms). I felt safe as a western woman in these vicinities. The host Sheldon is attentive and very professional

Everything! It was safe, clean, secured parking and great location in Kingston. Very clean and modern aesthetic, and the location has well manicured landscaping which is great for photos.
