Great location, within walking distance to popular attractions such as the Bob Marley Museum and Devon House. Supermarkets and restaurants are also close by. The hostel was relatively clean and affordable.
It would have been nice to have a larger refrigerator and some organized tours available. Additionally, the bathroom could have been cooler during the daytime.

We had such a great stay at Ragamuffin! The staff were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic experience. The dorms were spacious and comfortable, with privacy curtains on the bunks that helped create a cozy sleeping atmosphere. The location was perfect, with the Bob Marley museum and Devonshire House just a short walk away. Plus, having two large supermarkets nearby made it super convenient for getting any necessities. We also loved the fact that there were route taxis stopping right outside the hostel, making transportation a breeze. we had a wonderful time at Ragamuffin Hostel and would definitely recommend it to others.

The room was spacious and had air conditioning, which was a relief in the hot weather. It was one of the best dorm rooms I've stayed in. The beds were clean and comfortable, with curtains for privacy. Each bed had its own power outlet and locker, which was convenient.
The noise from the cafe next door was unbearable. The loud music made it impossible to sleep, and there was no coffee option other than the expensive cafe owned by the hostel.
