Gloucestershire Hotel, Montego Bay

I love the location of this hotel. I've stayed there twice and I plan on going back this summer and staying there again. The staff is very helpful and wonderully pleasant. The breakfast is great and it gives you an opportunity to try local dishes. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends that will be visiting MoBay!

The food in the resturant was the same for the 17 days I was there. Could of been better. The breakfast was OK, But they need to find away for scambled eggs not to be cold, even when you turned up for 7am.

The hotel was actual nice, compared to the other reviews I read, I thought it was going to be horrible. The only thing I hated was the staris to get to the room but in the long run it was good excerise and a beautiful view of the beach. The water pressure was the only thing that bothered me. The room was very clean and comfortable. The hotel is right across the street from the beach, which is GREAT. The staff is equipped to get you on various tours. The pool area is great. You are in walking distance of clubs, great resturants and other attractions. Some of the staff were nice and others had attitudes but don't take it personal. For the price it is a great place to stay - if you want to be wait on hand and foot not the place for you. The pictures are not what you get unless you have a suite. I would definitely go back -great if you are on a budget.

The Gloustershire Hotel, Montego Bay, Jamaica is A wonderful place to stay, I stayed there 4 times and it was wonderful, the staff wonderful and nice, environment clean and nice, meals and very tasty. You should try it it's good

I think this is an ideal property for someone on a budget. The rooms are spacious and clean and everything is accessible. This hotel is conveniently located on the hip strip. The service was good, employees were friendly and accomodating. The rooms were made up in a timely manner and fresh towels were given. Although, I didn't plan to spend much time in my room, I found it to be comfortable and I slept well. The decor in the room was bright and the areas outside were getting painted on the day I left. I noticed all unoccupied rooms are left open and this may contribute to mosquitos and ants or it could just be the tropical climate. I would consider staying at this hotel again and would recommend it to friends travelling on a budget.

My friend and I went on a guys trip to Montego Bay, and as you might imagine, went cheaply. We stayed at the Gloustershire, which was perfect for us. The key for us was location, and the Gloustershire's is perfect. It is directly across the street from Doctor's Cave Beach and a short walk to Margaritaville. There are also a number of restaurants on the street within walking distance. We did not need a cab anywhere except to the airport. We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The rooms are spacious, but mostly empty. It was just a couple beds, a nightstand and a desk with a TV. The floors are tile. There are very few outlets and none in the bathroom, in case you need one there. The rooms lock and we left the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door and had no problems. Most rooms have a balcony and the "ocean view" is not worth it. I would recommend saving a few dollars and getting the "garden view." If you do have an ocean view room, it means you are on the street and subject to constant honking from cars driving by. It is particularly bad during the day if you try to nap. The view isn't that great as part of it is blocked by a hotel across the street. The restaurant downstairs is one of the most inexpensive places to eat in town, but the food is just okay. The lobby has recently been redone and is very nice. For the most part, the workers were nice. They have a bellman that will help you with your bags and anything else you need. We had trouble with the phone and calling the US and the people at the desk weren't very helpful at fixing it for us. Overall, I'd say this is a great place to stay if you're looking for a cheap place to stay and don't want an all-inclusive type of experience. I highly recommend it. We almost stayed at Toby's Resort, which would have been a mistake as it's almost a mile down the road and not near anything. For the money, the Gloustershire couldn't have been any better.

We stayed in this hotel for 4 days/3 nights and it was amazing. The hotel room is simple but nice and clean. We had an ocean view and a small balcony which was very nice. Right across the street is a beautifull private beach called Doctor's Cave Beach. You have to pay $5 to get in but you are protected from people trying to sell you something (anything/everything). We rented a car because we wanted to see the rest of the island, but if you are planning on staying in the neighborhood this hotel is in the great location...right on the "Hip Strip"...street with a lots of stores , restaurants and bars. About the room: It was clean, we had enough towels, soap and shampoo. There was no remote for the TV. There is an AC in the room, but we didn't turn it on at all, because we weren't too hot. People working for the hotel were nice. Jamaican people are very very nice people , but it gets annoying at times when they don't stop asking you for money. But they stop bothering you after you tell them no (couple times)... If you don't need to be pampered , this is the place for you:) We loved it.

It was in the middle of everything..all of the action. We really enjoyed our stay! The rooms are not up to US Standards, but they were clean and a deal at their price. You must get a room on the street with a balcony if you want to see all the action. I was afraid after I booked the hotel, then I looked at the reviews and thought I'd gotten the wrong hotel. But, after being there I was extremely pleased. The food in the restaurant was wonderful. Our room came with breakfast...it was a typical Jamaican breakfast, which was great and a great way to explore other foods and typical Jamacian Food. They have a chef that will cook eggs anyway you want it. Everyone in the hotel went out of their way to please and help us, except the front desk. They have a bad disposition! We did not use the pool...why with a beautiful beach across the street! One review told me to take $100 in one dollar bills...this was good advise. The people there only make their money from tips...so tip well! Would I go there again? Of course, I can not wait to go again!!!

The hotel was colorful, clean and cute. It was centrally located and within walking distance of a nearby beach. The staff was courteous and all spoke English, which was a definite plus.

I can't think of anything that I disliked about the hotel. It is centrally located and within walking distance to everything, even to downtown Mobay. The breakfasts are very nice. The restaurant and bar staff are nice and friendly. I haven't been there for a few years so I am looking forward to the newly renovated place. I can't wait to visit again!! I hope they have Room 125 available for me when I go to visit. (smile)
