Montego Bay hostels

Pros: I liked the fact that it was really easy to get into town.

Cons: When you live abroad (first world) you take simple things like a simple credit/ debit card machine for granted. They couldn’t even provide this as though you’re expected to walk around with big wads of cash in Jamaica. Totally backward way of conducting business and a major disappointment. The bathroom was absolutely filthy. The least they could do was employ a cleaner to come in at least once a week considering they’re operating at minimum cost. As for the one roll of toilet tissue for my entire stay there... words fail me. Less than a third of a bottle of hand wash for the entire stay. Words cannot describe how disappointed I am about the place. However, I understand the mindset, profits profits profits and nothing else but profit. I guess they’re following the lead of the first world business models.

Pros: The location is not that far from the town so its easy to get a cab to get to the attractions. The room was bigger than I expected and the access to a kitchen and living room space was great. The balcony was cute. Back to the positive, the fact that the living and bedroom had a television in both was amazing and also the access to watching videos on the internet. Clean linen although i would prefer them to be white.

Cons: The door that was on the balcony was a bit see through so keeping it open or closed never made a difference- also its seemed as though the persons adjacent to the hostel could see into my room. The air conditioning in the room was on but not working so the fan had to make due.

Pros: Bed was clean loved everything about this place

Pros: I love the area, the building is very nice but definitely need air conditioning, housekeeping is not bad, hot and cold water (great) transportation good, I would come back if this building installed AC. A iron board would be good and a closet to hang dress clothes, very quiet and secured building, I like it.

Cons: AC and iron/ board.

Pros: Friendly staff very accommodating clean

Cons: Was far from the airport

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The peace and quiet

Cons: I enjoyed my stay because it quite and comfortable

Pros: Hot water in my shower. What is pretty rare in Jamaica... But I had an other room than the one I've booked so who knows if I would have it...

Cons: I have booked a room in the second floor with a "city view". I finally got a room on the first floor with a view on prostitution. NO INTERNET in the room. Noisy streets around. Also could't have access to the kitchen whereas it's included in the price...

Pros: Location is very good: close to Knutsford Express terminal (5 minutes by taxi), close to the airport (15 minutes by taxi), right next to Crafts Market, short walk distance to ATM, as it is located in city centre. Very kind staff. Rooms clean.

Pros: Good location. Staff friendly and helpful

Cons: Very quiet hostel. No cooking facilities or communal area for guests to meet.

Pros: I like the place it’s comfortable,Clean and the staff were friendly

Cons: Need math to dry your feet in the bathroom

Cons: Noisy area

Pros: Staff were lovely

Cons: The noise from the nearby nightclub was horrendous until about 2am. We had booked for three nights but left after one and went to Negril. We were refunded for.one.night's stay but given that we had asked for a room to the opposite side of the building that the nightclub was near this was extra disappointing as I had done my research

Pros: Everyone was so friendly! I love the pool area. Also I love the fact that its not too far from everything

Cons: I love that they have a newspaper waiting for me in the am. Also the fact that they have a cab to service the hotel guest!

Pros: View was nice.

Cons: It was tooo quiet. Staff wasn’t at front desk At most time. I had to just drop off keys and leave. Also the facilities could have been more well-maintained.

Pros: The worst place ever

Cons: Everything

Pros: A lovely old resort complex with tons of character. The location is a bit removed from any sizable population area. That makes markets and restaurants scarce. To be precise there is only one restaurant within walking distance, however, Montego Bay is a 15 min taxi ride west. Negril 90 min to the SE. The restaurant near the hotel is wonderful btw. Traditional cooking at its best! What Sahara lacks in accessibility it makes up for in its serenity and views of Montego Bay. It sits right on the water and you have full access to the facility. The rooms are clean, comfortable and fair priced. The staff (Kevin and co.) are friendly and helpful as well. Great for solo adventurers and people looking to experience the real Jamaica.

Cons: I loved the place and you have access to the sea, but there wasn't a beach so swimming was best done on the more notable beaches like 7-Mile in Negril or one of the various beaches around Montego Bay.

Pros: Nothing good. Mayba it was a famous hotel 30 years ago??

Cons: Dirty, far from everyrhing and personnal not funny. Bad experience.

Pros: Nothing!

Cons: Americans stay away! This is NOT how I imagined spending time in Montego Bay. The websites pictures and amenities are a downright lie. The worst motel in L.A. doesn’t even come close to this atrocity. First of all, it seems like an abandoned building or a rundown “resort” that has seen its better days back in the 60’s. And the rooms still have the same furniture from the era, I’m willing to bet. There is NO WIFI in the rooms, except by the front desk. There is NO Working AC. The ac unit in the room was probably also from the 60’s, as it was rundown, moldy, dusty, a broken control knob. The whole vibe of the place is “suspect,” as it does not feel safe nor reassuring, especially since the resort is very isolated in the side of the highway, and it’s a good $20-$25 USD cab ride to the nearest store. In both directions. Oh, and get this: i paid $80 USD from margaritaville to this “resort!” And the taxi man had the nerve to say, if you’d like to throw in a TIP, by all means. Smh! The “pool” had visible garbage floating in it and who knows the last time ANYONE has set a foot in there. The paint was chipping all in and around the room. Very distasteful. I’ve never wanted to leave a vacation spot so quickly in my life!! There is nothing to purchase there on the grounds, not even a vending Machine. So you’ll starve all day if you don’t bring your own food and drinks. Just don’t. Please, there are better B&B’s all over the place!
