I am so thankful to have found this property which was one of the best deal by far. I was greeted a couple days in advance by the popular Nurse over the phone. She made the entire process so smooth and easy from taxi, check in and down to the food etc...she is my go to person throughout my stay. She made me feel like family. I am truly Bless and Grateful to have her. A marvelous lady with an heart of gold. Very kind hearted and always there when you need her. Very trustworthy and devoted human being. An amazing cook! Always willing to go above and beyond!!!!! She is a treasure and always on the go. Ms. Charmaine made me feel at ease by checking me in earlier than scheduled due to the Covid pandemic. It is my HOME away from HOME. It is spacious, quiet, very clean and SAFE!!!! Overall...I had the most well rested and deserved vacay and will definitely be coming back in the future! It exceeded my expectations.

Chester Avenue B&B is located in a private walled garden, and is set-up in a grand old house. The service was outstanding, with a willingness to do whatever was necessary to ensure a pleasant stay.

I chose this property specifically because I was travelling alone. As a single female traveller, I liked that a couple of other reviews had noted that it was in a safe neighborhood. I'm American, but lived in Jamaica full-time for 5+ years -- in Negril. I came to Kingston because I was flying out of that airport (as opposed to the one in MoBay) th e next day. I didn't want to get up extra early to get to Kingston, so I decided to stay overnight in Kingston. I'm used to coming to Kingston for business, but have only stayed overnight in the city a few times before -- but never alone. This B&B fit the bill perfectly! I'm a runner, so when I checked in (around 4 pm), I suited up and took a long run. Got back after dark, but still didn't feel unsafe. The property is in a very upscale neighborhood and is gated (as almost all the properties are in that neighborhood). The room -- and closet and adjoining bathroom -- was HUGE and eat-off-the-floor clean. It's walking distance to a lot of places -- grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, etc. The owner of the house -- and her staff (I met her daughter and the cleaning lady) -- couldn't have been nicer. This will be my go-to place when I travel to Kingston and need to stay over. LOTS Of beautiful artwork too. Wish I'd gotten some pics of it, and that beautiful staircase. Highly, highly recommend.

Property looks just like the picture, very spacious, can be very hot n humid entering the B&B but once your in your room there's A/C & ceiling fan. The lady called Nurse was excellent, attentive, caring and there to help when needed or looking as if you might need help.

Beautiful home! Our room was large with a comfortable bed. There was also a screened-in patio that was perfect for sitting and reading or just enjoying the birds singing. Nurse Sinclair was wonderful; very personable providing us with valuable information about the history of Jamaica and helpful hints on what to do in Kingston. She also connected us with a terrific driver who was able to take us around Kingston, then drove us to Montego Bay. We very much enjoyed our stay here would definitely come back again the next time we are in Kingston.

The service and facilities is excellent! Charmaine and Nurse are soooo friendly, it’s like coming home! I’m a runner and this location is 1 minute away from a monster hill that’s great to train on. It’s definitely cooler to run here than where I live! It’s also 2 minutes away from a shopping center that has a movie theater, a supermarket and a pharmacy. You MUST have a movie watching experience in Jamaica! I hope that Chester Avenue Bed & Breakfast is available when I plan my next trip here!

The property is located in a very quiet part of the city. The house captures the island’s artistic essence by housing several original paintings. Throughout the home the rooms are clean and well kept. Staff are very accommodating and extremely friendly. I recommend this property for the individual who is seeking an oasis in the city.
