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.

Fabulous stay at Chester Avenue B&B

Excellent accommodation, especially as l was a lone traveller. The room and garden verandah itself (luxury suite) was great, well furnished, very comfortable and spacious. I really appreciated the fast Wi-Fi. One of the best things about the accommodation is the fantastic service and support offered by 'Nurse' Sinclair who is around 24/7. She is a treasure. Whatever you need to do, she will provide guidance. The arrangement with a specific taxi firm is reassuring as the taxi always arrives on time, takes you wherever you need to go and is very reasonably priced. This is a real bonus when often, you aren't quite sure where you are going and when travelling at night. Nurse is always there to meet you upon return. Breakfast is basic (rather than as you might expect in a UK or European B&B) but that's ok. Nurse is very accommodating if you need/want something in addition. Breakfast can be a bit tricky though if there are multiple guests as you may have to wait your turn. Not ideal if you are in a hurry, although you can agree a time beforehand. The property location in a quiet surburban residential areas is very safe as is the home itself. Again, this was particularly important to me as a lone female traveller. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at the B&B again when next in Kingston and l recommend it to anyone who is looking for nice clean, safe, quiet accommodation with a great housekeeper adding support as required. Overall though, l had a safe and very pleasant stay

Your home away from home

The house was big, bright, and airy and the property lush green. There's so much beautiful art decorating both the private and public spaces. Both the owner and the host were absolutely accommodating and friendly. There were also plenty of eateries, a shopping centre, and transport links within a 15-minute walk. The area was quiet and safe. The only area of improvement world be to have outdoor furniture. The garden is so lovely and it was a shame we couldn't sit outside comfortably to enjoy it. Regardless, I would definitely stay here again!
