Does not include... More

I stayed with a friend at this hotel because we had a flight to catch from Kingston and we want to arrive at the airport relaxed and fresh. Since the first moment the staff did not look very helpful. I have to admit that we arrived at 10am and after 40 minutes they gave us the possibility to check in... More

On the one hand, this is listed as a budget/inexpensive option by Lonely Planet. But the room itself seemed overpriced/expensive for such a simple basic room. However, the staff were extremely helpful with giving us directions for walking to the Bob Marley Museum and restaurant recommendations, and getting good taxi drivers to take us to Port Royal and to Hellshire...

Budget option in central Kingston. Old well used rooms but clean with a/c. Nice and helpful staff. Not a luxurious hotel but cheap. Nice patio to sit at during the night with small simple restaurant. Free wi fi that runs ok.

I stayed here for 10 days in December 2011. It's a good, clean, quiet place for an inexpensive stay in Kingston. The restaurant was decent: saltfish and ackee breakfast is excellent; lunch and dinner options are good but unremarkable. There weren't too many other places to eat along Holborn, unfortunately, so the menu got a bit repetitive by the end... More

This hotel is good for the value we paid. It's more like a guesthouse. We (2 adults/1 teen) stayed here in March 2012 during spring break. It was and overnight stay. We spent 1night as it was a stopover point for us, since we were travelling to Manchester the next day. We never tried thier restaurant to know what the... More

Indies is the ideal place to stay only if you cant afford an expensive hotel for the weekend or if you live out of town want somewhere to stay for the night. To me its just an average hotel, more like a guest house.

I have stayed here several times in years past and thought the rooms were nice and I thought it was a good value.. This time, they charged me $85 U.S. for a bad room. . It may be one of the worst rooms ever. Two small uncomfortable twin beds. Broken chair. Unsafe locks. I had made reservations in advance but... More

Stayed in their single room first ($45), way too small! Moved to a bigger room which cost $67 a night, a lot bigger and clean enough but the price was way too high for what they offered. After two nights I saw rats around their restaurant (where they serve disgusting food) which then moved near my room. I checked out... More
