MoBay Kotch is exactly what they bill themselves to be. A clean, safe, affordable place to stay in the center of MoBay. Both Vanessa and Dennis ensure you know how to get the most from your stay. They cater to experienced hostels guests and are always happy to introduce new comers to the hostel experience. Will definitely stay there again in March when I’m back in MoBay again. Hope Jerkie the puss and PikaPepper the dog remember me when I return.

Me and my wife missed our flight and had to book something really quick. The most affordable and transient space was MOBY KOCH! I’m an educator working on my phd and my wife is a chef …we loved the space. This history of it. The Charm! I wondered how did the space look prior to this wonderful family sharing it with others…the hospitality was phenomenal… the space was open and safe! Cool what you want when you feel like it! They provide coffee and tea in the AM (but you have to make it your self and that’s totally fine with us. My only suggestions would be, is a router on the second floor where you can use you own devices and possibly Air Conditioning. Even with those I’m coming back with my family all 10. I love it and if you ever want a true Montego Vibe where you could pop out and walk and engage with the culture this is the spot! Dr. Wilson

1st time staying in hostel! I was scared to sleep in a room with men. I was not use to the area so I slept in a huge living quarter. After that night, I relaxed and realized no one here is trying to harm me and the staff stay with me to help me feel safe. I got to meet new friends, had GREAT conversations, even left with the new people to explore since I was traveling alone. By the 5th day I was leaving family was phone#’s and saying bye to people by name. I am glad I stayed and I love the first travel experience within a hostel. Thank you !!
