Clean, not difficult to find, seaview room, recommended.

The hotel was very comfortable and clean,but there was a few plumbing issues. The hotel staff were outgoing and friendly. The view from the room was spectacular and I enjoyed the cool breeze that came off the sea.

The people at Silver Seas hotel were so caring and helpful- they really made the place worth staying at. It is too bad that the hotel has become so run down because it really could be a beautiful place with some renovations. I liked that the hotel was quiet and relaxing but also just a short walk from the tourist section of town where you can experience […] true Jamaican culture. Lesa meira

Although the hotel's location is outside the touristy part of Ocho Rios, and it's tucked away off the main road, it's actually a lovely place with rooms that overlook the water. Friendly, accommodating staff, generous Jamaican home-style cooking and a sheltered pool and bar area and private beach made our stay enjoyable. If you're put off by somewhat […] dated fixtures and decor, stay away, but if you'd rather get to know the real Jamaica, I recommend the Silver Seas heartily! Lesa meira

We had a wonderful stay at Ocho Rios in the Silver Seas Hotel. The staff has been very nice and gave good tips for Ocho Rios. The room was just perfect: large, direct view to the ocean, clean. Clean has to be seen compared to same price hotels. Don't expect to get a upper class hotel standard here, but it's in now way as bad as some ratings say. They […] have a nice pool and a wonderful beach terrace. Since we were very hungry, we ate breakfast in the hotel and despite our expectations it has been a fabulous meal! Also it is only a 5 minutes walk to the clock tower, while being very quiet at night (on the balcony you can hear two clubs, but not in the room). We would definitely go back! Lesa meira

Simple room accommodations, but clean and cared for, packed with character, charm and a laid back relaxed Jamaican approach to very good service. We just had to ask, and we were well taken care of each time. The Jamaican food dishes were superbly prepared ... every time. Thank you for two relaxing visits by the sea ...

Over-all for the price its ok, but compared to Canada it still would be considered below par, but all in all the ocean views, the character of the hotel itself as it is quite dated, and the staff are all charming. A two minute walk to downtown Ocho Rios so it is quite convenient to shop the local markets etc. I was very impressed by the cook as he takes […] pride in what he cooks and is very personable, not to say that the rest of the staff don't deserve notice as all try to be very friendly and accomadating.

The first clue that this hotel was going to be questionable was the fact that the local taxi driver could not find the hotel. Why could he not find it? Cause it is located at the end of a shady alley. Once we found it we were told to never go left or right when we exited the hotel rather go straight out to the main road. The staff were just there like […] the dated furniture; they were more interested in talking on their phones or to each other than to bother checking us in. Once we got to the room the views were amazing but the furniture looked and felt like they were found in the alley, brought up and Febreezed. The beds were thin and concaved so you got to roll into each other feeling every spring along the way. The pillows were actually random lumpy couch pillows in pillowcases and the "whicker" furniture they boast about on their website was falling apart and stincky! The pictures on their website are also misgiving; they must have been taken ages ago because the hotel does not look anything like them. I can see where this hotel was the "hot" spot 50 years ago but it is just old and falling apart now. Not recommended! Spend the extra couple of bucks and find something better. Lesa meira

The hotel is located in a not so good area. In fact after checking in we immediately start looking for other loding. Yes, its a nice ocean view but thats it.

This hotel is in dire need of proper maintenance and refurbishment . The mattresses on the beds in my room were far too worn for comfortably sleeping. While I stayed for my planned two days, I must say that my stay was overall disappointing.

Ósvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia

If you are high maintenance and seeking a resort experience with all the amenities then the Silver Seas is not for you. If you're an adventurer looking for an extremely reasonable, clean and quiet accommodation central to Dunn's River Falls and other St. Ann attractions then - The Silver Seas IS for you. Yes, it is an older hotel that needs some work, […] but let me stress to you: 1# IT IS A CLEAN HOTEL, 2) it is maybe a two star, but it's not falling apart around your ears either and 3) the staff is most pleasant, helpful and hospitable. It made me think of the times I stayed with poor country relatives. They might not have the newest or nicest, but the stay was gracious and cozy. The room was spacious albeit spartan. Don't go looking for the usual things #e.g. coffee maker, clock, iron, hair dryer, in-room phone or internet). The hotel has no entertainment crew, but there is plenty of entertainment in downtown Ocho Rios - either at locals' spots or at Margaritaville. All within walking distance. Bottom line...if this isn't your first rodeo and you want a clean, quiet place to stay while taking in the local sites, then give the Silver Seas a shot. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised and a lot proud of yourself for stepping outside the box. Lesa meira

The Silver Seas Hotel is the perfect vacation destination for the no-frills traveler who seeks simplicity, tranquility and accessibility to the finest snorkeling in Jamaica. A rustic, grass-roots hotel located directly on the ocean, just off of Main St, in the heart of Ocho Rios. The views from every room are the finest; the service embodies the Jamaican […] adage of "no problem". Rooms are very large, amenities very basic. The Silver Seas Hotel is one of the most oldest and historic in the area. Its old world Jamaican charm cleanses and rejuvenates.

Room was very large and very tired. Had a magnificent view over the ocean- as did all the other rooms. Also the rooms are right on the water. Two double beds but only one lamp in main area.

We had a lovely patio that overlooked the ocean. We would watch the cruise ships coming and going as well as the party boats that passed each day on their way to Mohagany Beach. We had a very clean swimming pool to swim in with a nice sunbathing area as well. The bartender, Barry, was very nice and friendly. He made great Bloody Mary's. The maid service […] was excellent and efficient. However, they would take the towels and not replace them until later in the day. We did ask the desk clerk if we could get a second chair for our patio and a remote that worked on our TV and we did not get either of those things or an explanation. On the other hand, we did not have a refrigerator in our room, so they lent us a cooler so I would have a cool place to store my insulin. We enjoyed our room so much that if we go to Jamaica again, we will probably only stay at the Siver Seas. Also, the meals that we ate ate the restaurant were excellent. Stores we very close and taxi service is very accessible and at a very reasonable price. We would definately recommend Silver Seas to our friends and family. Lesa meira

If you are looking for a convenient base for your daily excursions into Jamaica, Silver Seas is great. You're near general stores, money changers, restaurants of all sorts and a fleet of taxis ready to take you anywhere you want to go. The restaurant is great for breakfast, but if your want to order any of the fancier dinners from the menu, you should […] talk to Ivan early in the day so he can get what is needed for the meal. They don't stock the seafood and things listed on the menu, but they will get it in if you are planning on ordering it. On the bright side, that means that it is always fresh. For anyone looking for a resort style experience, go elsewhere. This is a hotel, nothing more. Lesa meira

The Good:The staff is very friendly. They were very helpful. The view is amazing. The activities (snorkeling, etc.) are cheaper to do here than at the larger nearby resorts. The location is good if you want to see the "real Jamaica" There is a popular patty shop nearby, and the craft marker is is walking distance. Bad: I had 6 roaches in my room. You […] have to bring your own shampoo, blow drier, etc. Also, they take your towels, go wash them, then bring you back the same towels that they washed. So there is a time frame there where you have no towels. Lesa meira

We booked late and this was all that remained in Ocho Rios - but it was very cheap! The rooms were comfortable enough, but everything was a bit tatty.

I really appreciated this place. It is inexpensive and its service is just as such. The rooms were clean. The beds were clean but the mattresses were super soft, too soft with very little support. If you are looking for a resort where you will be pampered, this is not the place. This is the place where you get to have a secure room with a place to lay […] your head and a bathroom. If you are scared of Jamaica, this is not the place for you. You are right in the heart of Ocho Rios, the shops and outdoor market are literally a block away. This seemed to me to be the place where locals and foreigners who have been to Jamaica before come. All the major resorts go to the reefs right off the hotels beach and there is a small private contractor there who will take you out for a fraction of the major resort costs. I really enjoyed the place outside of the beds being too soft. If you have some sense of adventure and are not scared of local culture, or even want to experience local culture, this is the place. If you have more money to burn and are scared of coming in contact with the real people of Jamaica, buying Jerk Chicken from a guy with a grill on the corner who has a thick JA accent, stay at the Ritz or Sandals or somewhere that your sensibilities will not be challenged.

A very run down place in front of a spectacular reef. The reason for such a low rating is the result of the disrespect we received from Lenny, the operator of water excursions in the hotel. After consistently being hassled for days we rented a kayak. After paying, he presented us with a withered kayak, ensuring us of its quality and safety. After 30min […] in it we realized tape was floating next to the kayak. Lenny had used tape on the inside to secure the top half to the bottom. Within a matter of a minute we cap-sized, and the kayak sank. We lost several items including a camera. We did managed to drag the boat to shore, but we had to swim over shallow reefs; resulting in numerous gashes and stings (including fire coral). We washed up at Hermosa Cove, where the wonderful staff/owners came to our aid and helped us get back to Silver Seas. Initially, Lenny promised to return our money, but within ten minutes became extremely hostile and disrespectful, informing us he would not return our money. This argument occurred in the hotel lobby, and not once did the staff assist us, give us first aid, they just watch without a care in the world. After some time, in an even more deranged manor he claimed that the oars and life vests were missing and thus no refund. All a lie for we later returned to the beautiful Hermosa Cove, to thank the staff, and all the stuff was there. They informed us he had never come by. When we return to Jamaica we wont stay anyplace else, but Hermosa Cove. Lesa meira

We have stayed here many times and it is very clean, the staff is very accomodating (appear out of nowhere when needed) and every room has an ocean view patio or balcony overlooking one of the best reefs.

The grounds […] are well maintained but it is an older hotel (I believe the oldest in Ocho Rios) that could use renovation.

It is close to the water but there isn't a beach - just a tiny strip of sand next to a cement barrier and then the ocean. Service is non-existent.

The bathroom is gas station quality. Not clean. They provide one towel and one tiny soap. If you want shampoo, they send you to the store to buy your own.
