Mount Edge Guest House

This is the place to be. Instead of doing the morning hike you can stay here in this clean and amazing guest house in the middle of the mountains, go to the Rasta village and to the coffee plantations. You have a huge balcony, a great view over the mountains and some delicious food at EITS Café next door. The Rasta village is half an hour away. In Saturday’s the people there celebrate Sabbath. You can chant and celebrate with them in their temple. Just cover your hair, shoulders and legs. 

Magical!  Literally perched on the edge of a hill, surrounded by the beautiful Jamaican Blue Mountains.  Cool fresh air (in August), gorgeous views and lots of interesting birds - particularly the lovely Dr. Bird hummingbird.

Our room - Roost - was definitely rustic, but clean, and has it's own balcony overlooking the valley.  Bathroom was very small, but had hot water and great water pressure.  Our only issue would be that the mattress was too soft.

The food was excellent and the service we received from Robyn, Eve and any staff members we encountered was great - a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere about the place.

This place is not for everyone, but considering the cost I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates the outdoors and the relaxed side of life in Jamaica.

The room are comfortable, very clean , there is hot water to shower, and the rooms are very cool we did not need no aircondition. I am from London I like eco-freiendly atmosphere because of the mountains.

+ Nice small guesthouse, basic but nicely decorated and clean/comfortable rooms. Relaxed vibe. Nice staff. Good food at EITS Cafe. Amazing views.

- The only downside, especially for solo travelers:
No staff at night, which means that if you are the only guest you’ll be alone. 
All rooms lock but the gates to the property remain open at all times. The area feels generally safe but people can still walk in and out as they please. 
I went there with a friend (we are 2 women in our 30s) and we were the only guests so alone at night. The second night we heard voices and realized the next morning that some people were hanging out at EITS cafe at night (a few meters away from the rooms) and left empty bottles there. 
I felt ok because I was with a friend but I would have freaked out if I were alone.

If you plan to go there alone maybe you can contact the hotel and ask them if one of their staff could stay there at night during your stay and if they can lock the front gates to the property.
We were not aware of it and were surprised when all the staff left us around 7pm until the next morning.

All in all a nice well-run guesthouse and cafe in an amazing setting but I thought solo travelers should be aware of the absence of staff at night before booking this hotel.

This is such a cool place to stay, absolutely stunning views, seemingly haphazard shacks sitting in a lush verdant valley. The vibe is cool and laid back, some interesting things to do and see - hikes in The Blue Mountains, a Rasta settlement close by and visits to a coffee farm available. This is a family run place and guests are made to feel very welcome, this is a quaint unconventional place to stay. Just my kinda place. Nice food in the onsite cafe.

Rustic and relaxed. Great place to enjoy the outdoors.

Most beautiful place of Jamaica 

Nice relaxed guest house but no staff at night

Misty Mountains

I like Mount Edge they are very friendly and the staff are very helpful

This budget hostel is on the edge of a hill in stunning Blue Mountains scenery. Our accommodation was very basic but the staff were very friendly. The EITS restaurant, which is really part of the hotel, had good and economical meals. Many of the ingredients are grown locally. The road to the hotel is poor but passable with care.
