Travellers who value service and a good breakfast will like it most. Guests highlight a friendly, attentive team and a buffet of tasty Jamaican and cooked dishes.
The property lists a pool, a gym, a restaurant, a garden, a terrace, family rooms, free parking, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, so families and drivers are well covered.
Skip it if you are counting every dollar. Guests find the room rates fair but say dining and laundry prices are often high. Our Budget pick has the same score for a little less, and the main sights listed below are all a long walk away.
Location and getting around
The address is 17 Waterloo Rd, and guests rate the location 8.9 out of 10.
The sights in our data are not close. Independence Park (Jamaica) is about 2.9 km away, roughly 36 minutes on foot. Arnett Gardens F.C. is about 3.4 km, around 43 minutes, and Sabina Park is about 4.7 km, close to an hour.
All three count as far, so plan on a taxi or public transport. These walking times are straight-line estimates. With free parking listed, a car is another option.
What guests say
The score is 8.1 out of 10 from 430 reviews.
Staff get the most praise: friendly, helpful and attentive, with efficient service and a warm welcome. Breakfast is the other standout, a buffet with a wide variety of tasty Jamaican dishes and cooked options.
The common complaint is value outside the room rate. Guests consider the rooms reasonably priced, but say meals and laundry cost more than expected.
Price and how it compares with our other Kingston picks
Our reference price was €206.40 per night, about €413 for two nights. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov) for 2 adults in one room, not live quotes. Check today's price for your own dates.
That is 1% below the sample median of €207.89 per night.
Our Budget pick, ROK Hotel Kingston, Tapestry Collection By Hilton, also has 4 stars and the same 8.1 score at €195.71 per night, about €11 less. Our Luxury pick, S Hotel Kingston, has 5 stars and an 8.8 at €240.65 per night. The three are close in price here, so choose Terra Nova for its staff, pool and breakfast rather than for savings.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 eligible properties in Kingston. Terra Nova shares the fourth-best review score among them. The Best Value slot balances guest score, review count and the reference price, and is not necessarily the cheapest hotel.
A broad facility list, an 8.9 for location and a price just under the median earned it the spot.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, whether breakfast is in your rate and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check them on the booking page.
Our data tags the hotel with a spa, but a spa is not in the property's own facility list, so confirm before counting on it. Ask about pool hours, restaurant prices and laundry costs too.
