We had a great stay in this lovely older building with lots of charm and character. The front room offered a partial view of the harbor—just a bit of pruning and it would be absolutely stunning. The space was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and we really appreciated the simple self check-in process. Staff were quick to respond via text, which made everything easy. There’s plenty of free street parking, and the location is convenient—just a short walk (uphill on the way back) from shops and restaurants downtown. While a Keurig-style coffee maker would be a nice touch, having the mini fridge was definitely appreciated. One note: there’s a park about a block away where we noticed some vagrant activity. Walking by felt a bit uncomfortable on a couple of occasions, but it didn’t impact our overall experience. Overall, a cozy, well-kept spot that made for a great visit! We loved Newfoundland!

We liked the outward appearance. First impression was fine. But inside, there were disappointments - small fridge was sitting on the floor so more difficult to access, no place to put the luggage. We were only there for two nights so didn’t want to unpack (so we didn’t use the cupboard), the bathroom was tight, parking instructions were not clear, the bed was fine (not sure how clean the bed cushions were).

Pro It was a nice period decor, safe, clean and had a lovely view of the harbour from my large room. 5-10 minutes walk from downtown St Johns. Cons no breakfast provided even with photos suggesting otherwise on some websites There is a kettle, microwave and small frodge in room with just two cups provided. No bowls/plate, spoon or knife provided. So I had to buy a bowl and spoon to have some cereal and fruit for breakfast.

Arriving on site we had no interaction whatsoever with anyone, we sent email with no response, then the envelope with information was put in between the doors while we we’re waiting for a response. Not professional at all. The room had what we needed for the week , it is a walkable distance to a lot of St-Johns, but if I return I will probably book a hotel
