Felt like home

Staying at Shirley’s Retreat truly felt like being welcomed into the family. The employees go above and beyond to make you feel at home, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The hotel offers all the basic necessities, ensuring a comfortable stay. One of the highlights was the food from Maurva's Kitchen—absolutely amazing! I highly recommend trying the local cuisine; you will not be disappointed. The hotel is in a safe, walkable area with plenty of restaurants nearby, and food delivery is also an option if you prefer to dine in. While there isn't a microwave in the room, there is one available downstairs, along with coffee, tea, and hot water. The hotel also sells water and cold drinks at very reasonable prices. Another great perk is the location—it's within walking distance of the Bob Marley Museum, and the hotel staff is happy to assist with getting a taxi if needed. The property itself is quiet, quaint, and surrounded by beautiful fruit trees, adding to its charm. If you're looking for a cozy, welcoming place to stay in Kingston, Shirley’s Retreat is a fantastic choice!

I like that front desk staff and cook were friendly and professional. I didn’t like that although there were two guests there was only one hand towel and the maid did not replace the hand towel or wash cloths after the first day.

I stayed here before and will always return for short stays. Very convenient area. Staff are absolutely amazing ppl. I got an early check in (I was very early), always greeted with a smile and this hotel is one of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed. My only issues this time was no phone in my room, no hot water at the sink and the bed was a bit hard but nothing that was unbearable. I will be back, feels like home!

Fabulous little hotel just a 5 min walk from the Bob Marley Museum. A safe hotel, basic but what we expected, very clean (I would have given it 6 stars if I could), easy to find, loads of parking. Staff are friendly. Very nearby in a few mins walk is a coffe shop, supermarket and a local bar and restaurant.
