I travelled with a large party requiring at least four rooms at Mayfair. More than half of the air conditioners were not working; the rooms, including the bathrooms, were not clean (floors and table/countertops); there were droppings on the toilet; there were spiders in the closets and cupboards; two of the rooms ran out of water while people were still in the shower with soap in their eyes! Now here is the worst part: I was adjusting the hot water while in the shower and received an electrical shock (think very strong and continuous static shock) - NOT ONCE BUT TWICE - until I had to use my rubber flip-flops to turn off the water! After my shocking shower experience we began immediately to make alternate arrangements. Also noticed that security was very lax - the gate was wide open at night and no security guard was there - did not feel secure at all. The way the rooms are set up this seems more like an extended living facility - more like an apartment complex than a hotel. This is my fourth trip to Kingston, and speaking as a person who has stayed in rudimentary conditions in third world South America with no problems, I find the accomodations at Mayfair to be highly inadequate. The only plus was that the staff was courteous and seemed to make an effort to address our concerns, bringing fans to the rooms where the air conditioning was broken. Nonetheless, basic safety and security were lacking.

“Very comfortable”

Mayfair Hotel

May 21, 2007

This hotel was recommended to me by a friend. It's location is perfect and the hotel is comfy. I enjoyed my stay there and would definitely go back. I stayed only for 1 day. Brenda (Front desk) was very pleasant and ensured that we were placed in the best room. It felt like home away from home.

My Husband is from Jamaica and he haven't been home in 3-years. So we decided to look on the net and found this Beautiful Hotel!! But when we reached there it was a hole different ball-game. The rooms was not up to stander's and the prices for everything was high. The only good thing we can say about this place that the housekeeper was EXCELLECT!!!!!!

I have stayed at the Mayfair many times. I love the location as the mountain view is superb and the pool is clean and large. I prefer a room over the bar near the pool.
New Japanese Restaurant is EXCELLENT! The service was "top shelf".

“Excelent”

Mayfair Hotel

1/1 found this review helpful

I stayed at the Mayfair for a week during my visit to Jamaica. It was the most relaxing time of my life. The hotel is apparently under new ownership and new managment. They have an excelent Japanese restaurant, English pub, and Jamaican style restaurant. The entire Property offers a wireless internet connecion and the people are extremley curteous. I was impressed to find such a paradise in a third well country. The best part, however, i would have to say is the price.
