This hotel exceeded expectations. While it is not a new hotel, my room seemed to be renovated and carpets in the corridor seemed brand new - and smelt new also. Bath & body toiletries, new bath tub and finishes. The service was good, but expect a long checkout process.

Normally, my company uses the Spanish Court hotel, but since the Wyndham Hotel fire, hotel rooms are at a premium and the Spanish Court was fully booked. So our only option was the Pegasus. I stayed 9 nights on a business trip. I understand the hotel is undergoing renovations and have heard that some of the rooms have already been... More

I stayed here on a business trip for five days, it's definitely a step down from the hotels I am accustomed to staying in (Embassy Suites and Hilton hotels), but for Kingston, I don't you will find much better. The fitness center was greatly improved compared to my last stay here in 2005. Treadmills, Elliptical, bikes, and weights are available.... More

Stayed 1 night in April while on business in Kingston. The hotel needs renovations on the guestrooms, corridors and lobby. Luckily, they are currently renovating the lobby, and while this is in process, a temporary restaurant was fitted out below the ground floor in front of the pool. I hope they will renovate the guestrooms and corridors soon after. While... More

This legendary Jamaican hotel is under a great deal of renovation. It's worth checking into the executive floor for that extra white glove treatment and renovated rooms. It's centrally located (within walking distance to business as well as banks and fast food). I really enjoyed the room. It was spotlessly clean. Bed was fine. Bath tub was narrow but in... More

The Pegasus is what happens when you build a hotel in the 80s and don't spend a cent maintaining it. My room was dirty, loud, in desperate need of a refit and lacked basic amenities.
