Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Shirley Retreat garners praise for its very clean rooms and convenient location, particularly its proximity to the Bob Marley Museum, just a short walk away. The hotel offers practical amenities like air conditioning and parking, contributing to a comfortable stay. Mrs M's Kitchen is appreciated for the food, and while most found the rooms spacious, some guests have noted that they are quite basic. The hotel is located close to Halfway Tree, Kingston 10 and all things Kingston.

a secure and clean place!

reliable staffclean roomshort walkmissing refrigerator
the staff provided really good security and reliable service. my room was clean and spacious, i greatly appreciated this. the location is very convenient, the bob marley museum is only a short walk away.
the absence of a refrigerator in the room was a noticeable inconvenience. it would greatly improve the experience if rooms included this feature.
