Reggae Hostel

Top choice in Ocho Rios


This ever-popular hostel is perfectly located in the center of Ocho Rios. There's a good mix of simple, private rooms with air-con (and some with mini-verandas), and dorms (some with fan, others with over-icy air-con). There's a basic kitchen for self-caterers and a rooftop bar that's made for socializing. The staff are fonts of local knowledge for backpacker-friendly excursions.
