Gordon Town Kotch

Staff and host excellent. Facilities and location also excellent and there is an ACTUAL river. Spacious room, deck and very comfortable mattress. Bathroom shower very nice there is even warm water. Secure and nice with a friendly all night security guard. Wraparound deck. Secure parking and access to the river.

All was well.

What can I say about GTK except that it truly is an exceptional stay, in Jamaica and in my travels the cleanliness the hospitality the atmosphere it was beautiful and felt like a home away from home, I unexpectedly spent a long time here because I had to be close to kingston for work and It was truly an unforgettable tim Mishka is a great host very attentive and great at supporting you with your questions or concerns, the location is right by a river accessible from the property so there is a constant relaxing white noise it feels Zen and a great place to draw creative insights. You can easily get a taxi to and from kingston from the local town and so it made getting around even late at might very easy. The layout feels so homey and comfortable and I was pleasantly surprised by the bedroom. One of the best hostels ive stayed at in my travels and I have been from south east asia all the way to central america. On every front it exceeded my expectations and I would gladly recommend it to anyone!

I usually never leave reviews for places, but I had to share my thoughts about this one because it was such an incredible experience. This is hands down the best hostel I have ever stayed at. From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. Mishka is an outstanding host—friendly, welcoming, responsive, and always willing to help. Communication was seamless from start to finish, which made the entire stay stress-free and enjoyable. The location is absolutely breathtaking. Waking up to the stunning views and peaceful atmosphere was something special, and it truly felt like a hidden gem in Jamaica. The hostel itself is comfortable, clean, and has an amazing vibe that makes you feel at home right away. What really sets this place apart is the combination of genuine hospitality, incredible scenery, and the overall experience. I’ve stayed in many hostels while traveling, and this one stands out as the best. It’s the kind of place that becomes a highlight of your trip rather than just a place to sleep. This is an easy 10/10. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Jamaica without hesitation, and I will absolutely be staying here again the next time I return. Thank you, Mishka, for making my stay so memorable!

The space was comfortable and the fan in room #4 was amazing. it blocked out the sounds and made sleep comfortable. the art work was exceptional. the view of the river and the sound of the river at night was amazing.

the sharing of the amenities was my only issue.... some guest didnt keep the shared space clean.
