I have read all of the reviews and I just cannot relate the high ratings to the place where I stayed this week. Yes, the location is good: it is a very short walk from the Bob Marley museum and Devon House (in the opposite direction). It is along a main bus route and it is a very quiet side... More

Shirley Retreat House is a pleasant guesthouse. It's warm tangerine color is inviting. It is located in a quiet residential area, but less than a mile walk from Devon House in one direction and the Bob Marley Museum in the other. You can easily walk to those places or walk to Hope Road and take a bus. There is a... More

We went to the Shirley Retreat Hotel on the recommendation of a taxi driver who picked us up from another hotel that was treating us quite rudely. What a great idea! Good price, nice, clean and comfy rooms with large beds. Breakfast was great for a good price-a lot more inexpensive than a room at the Pegasus-even with breakfast included.... More

An inexpensive, quiet, clean and comfortable hotel in the heart of Kingston in close proximity to the mall, the clubs, places of interest and food (TGIF is one block away). The foyer was a short trip into the culture of Jamaica with its display of national artifacts. The front desk personnel was very pleasant, accommodating and professional *my apologies can... More

Great location, Devon House, The Bob Marley Museum and the prime minister's home were within walking distance. Given that is located on a busy main road, you turn off onto a drive and thereafter you dont hear any traffic noise and it is very peaceful. Staff are always friendly and helpful. They serve three meals a day but you have... More
