Hotels near Tinson Pen Airport (KTP), Kingston

Kingston remains a city of resilience, rhythm, and revelation. It’s a place where heritage meets hustle, and where every visit offers new layers of insight. I left with a deeper appreciation for its complexity and charm—and a renewed commitment to supporting its continued evolution. Here’s a refined and balanced reflection that captures both the vibrancy and complexity of downtown Kingston: Downtown Kingston: A City in Cultural Renaissance Downtown Kingston is undergoing a remarkable artistic and cultural transformation, led by the visionary work of Kingston Creatives. Their efforts have breathed new life into the city’s historic core—turning walls into canvases, streets into galleries, and public spaces into hubs of innovation and expression. From vibrant murals to creative hubs and community events, their impact is reshaping how locals and visitors experience the capital. This renaissance is more than aesthetic; it’s a reclaiming of identity, a celebration of Jamaican creativity, and a bold invitation to reimagine what Kingston can be. The energy is palpable—Kingston is not just the heartbeat of Jamaica, it’s now becoming its creative pulse. That said, like any major city, Kingston has its complexities. Some areas require caution and local awareness, especially when exploring unfamiliar parts of town. The city’s darker edges coexist with its brilliance, and respectful, informed travel is key to appreciating its full spectrum. Kingston is a city of contrast and courage—where transformation is not just happening on the surface, but deep within its cultural soul.

Nothing works in the property we stayed in and the owner was very disrespectful and rude. They have created different accounts for this same property because many people have given bad reviews about it

I loved the room. It was clean and cozy. The kitchen had a stove, microwave, plates, cups and utensils. The AC worked. The TV worked with a variety of apps to choose from. Best of all, Miss Carol treated me like family. I absolutely love her. I’ll definitely return to that spot when I’m visiting Kingston again.

Nice location, quiet and safe. There's a little shop nearby for groceries and a hot meal. Unfortunately, it's a bit of a walk to get to the high street where one can connect with public transport if one does not have a car.

The host Micheal was very gracious from the beginning to end, the apartment was perfect for us, we wanted to enjoy the lovely views every day and night . It was clean and tidy and the pool was a pleasant surprise as it wasn't listed when we booked. I will be going again and would 100 percent recommend it to anyone seeking a bit of tranquility in kingston. Its 10 -15 mins from plenty of bars, restaurants and nightclubs.

Kingston was as expected, culturally chilled, weather was great but an also congested with traffic during peak hours. The street food was great, slightly overpriced for tourists though. The people were very friendly and small shops were accommodating although customer service skills were lacking in the bigger supermarkets.

I like that fact that.it was quite and friendly oriented the host was great she ensure that we were ok for the little time spent there.Blue Royalty is the place to be.our favorite spot was by the pool.and by the lounge.yes getting around was very easy.next time I would avoid booking without asking questionins

Kingston is a business city, not much for tourist attractions such as the North Coast, its great for ease getting to Norman Manley Airport and you can easily travel to the other destinations by ease of the Knutsford Coaches, flight or taxi. Before you leave Kingston you can visit the local attractions such as Devon House, the shopping malls and of course Bob Marley Museum. Not forgetting the many 5 star local restaurants to suit a variety of cuisines as well as local dishes. I will always come back to Kingston.

My Husband and I love staying in Port more. our favorite spot is the beach and we love eating at Jolly's , getting around is easy but then again it's easy for me because my husband is from there so he known the area real good. I would avoid driving by myself next time because those drivers out there does not have a road code, they will run us off the road. We had I great 17 days and I am looking forward to my next trip.
