Reggae Hostel

Montego Bay


The location on the edge of downtown facilitates the exploration of the 'real' MoBay, as well as nights out at Pier 1, and the rooftop chill area (smoking allowed) is a boon. The rooms themselves are rather austere and institutional-looking, but very spacious and with lockers in dorms. Guest kitchen and helpful staff round up the experience.
