Kingston House Is a cozy four-guestroom bed and breakfast a short walk from downtown Hamilton. And most everything you've read about it here on Tripadvisor is true.
The ambience, the location, and the owners (Harry and Marlie Powell plus Digby the dog) are strong points in recommending a stay here.
Breakfast is simple but satisfying. Great breads, cereals, fruit, juice, yogurt and cottage cheese plus terrific coffee fresh-roasted by Harry. (He makes it clear he’s not thrilled with having to pull a pot of decaf, but will do so if asked).
Like the humidity, Harry’s sense of humor can take a bit of getting used to, but he and Marlie are gracious hosts, encyclopedic and enthusiastic when it comes to Bermuda.. Both are quick to share ideas and recommendations (for and against) regarding beaches, restaurants, sights, whether to scooter or not (we decided not).
Not scootering means a cab ride or walk from downtown Hamilton to Turnstile Lane. While it’s short (only 10 minutes or so) it can be enough to make you wilt a bit in the Bermuda heat and humidity. It can also seem a bit harrowing the first time, as there are no sidewalks, But it’s cheaper than a taxi and great exercise, and Harry will instruct as to the safe way to make the journey. He can also provide a quick ride-around to acquaint guests with downtown Hamilton
And we mustn’t forget our fellow guests. One of the absolute pleasures of staying in a small B&B is getting to know others who appreciate the “non-hotel” atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed socializing at breakfast or other times when we preferred just “hanging around” to touring. Nice, nice people.
Oh, we booked the Palmetto Suite, with its pretty bedroom, separate living room, good-sized bathroom and private terrace. Well worth the slight extra charge if it’s available.
A very relaxing five days. We hope to return. Soon.

Kingston House provides an excellent value. Harry and Marlie are extremely friendly, as many have commented. While there is a little walk to downtown Hamilton and a small part of it is not on sidewalks, it is very manageable and Harry often offers rides if he is not busy or needs to go to town himself. When we first got there we were early and our rooms weren't quite ready yet. Harry offered to take us into town and gave us a wonderful quick tour of where things were and different places to eat. It was extremely helpful with getting us acquainted with the area. We had lunch and by the time we got back our rooms were ready. Breakfast was wonderful and the coffee is great! (Harry roasts it himself.) If you like staying at B&Bs, Kingston House is top notch.

We spent 3 nights at the Kingston House in July this year and had a wonderful stay! This was our second time at Kingston House and we stayed in the Jacaranda Room. The room was immaculately clean and breakfast was excellent. Harry is a most gracious host and it felt like "coming home" to stay with him again (Marlie was visiting family in the US). Harry went out of his way to make us feel very welcome and we would definitely stay at Kingston House again if we are blessed to return to Bermuda.

Had a fantastic 7-night stay with Harry & Marlie and had no complaints from beginning to end! I booked based on the tripadvisor reviews and location and I was not dissapointed. Rates are excellent and the owners (including Digby!) make you feel very welcome. Be sure to ask Harry and Marlie if you're not sure what to do (or where to start). Having lived on the island many years ago, I found their advice to be invaluable - things had definitely changed! The easy walk into town was most convenient as you are close to ferry and bus services, scooter rentals and lots of restaurant options. The Frangipani room was nicely furnished and spotlessly clean, with very quiet AC. The common living areas were very comfortable and there is a fridge, microwave, BBQ etc. when you want to have a snack. There is also a computer and wi-fi to keep in contact with friends. The breakfast was outstanding - such a selection! It was great to meet other travellers and figure out what to do each day. Kingston House was a very special place and truly felt like coming home. I will definitely stay there again!
