Hotel in historic building steps from Water Street

Helpful, friendly staff. The building is showing its age but overall, it’s well located and rooms are large with ample bed, bathroom and shower spaces. There’s some noise from Harbour Dr traffic but windows block most of it. Breakfast room is often crowded at peak times, but croissants and fresh fruit were a treat.

The staff was very friendly and helpful! I had hoped for an early check in and they were able to accommodate which was a bonus. Hotel is a bit dated but charming and rooms are spacious and very comfortable. Ideal location with lots of restaurants, pubs and shopping within walking distance. Would definitely recommend staying here!

The building had a lot of historical information and was a part of the history of St. John’s, so that was quite interesting. But I found that the bed was too hard and awoke hurting. People were very friendly though. The continental breakfast was adequate and quite good a little busy though, but that’s I guess is to be expected.

Charming restored property convenient to shopping, dining, The Rooms museum and Signal Hill. Our accommodation was lovely, full of character and quite roomy. My only complaint is that noise from outside and other rooms was occasionally loud, even late at night.

Fantastic location on the harbourfront, walking distance to downtown. The historic building is full of charm, and my room was clean and comfortable. Loved the courtyard for a quick dinner, a drink, and local entertainment—the fish and chips were excellent. Friendly staff and on-site parking made the stay even better.

What a great hotel it is right downtown across from the harbour. We found the hotel to be exceptional with regards to customers and cheating their guests like they were family. It will be my go to hotel in St. John’s going forward.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The staff were always pleasant to desl with, and the room was spacoius and clean. The breakfast options were fine for a short stay, but limited and repetative for a longer stay. Music in the courtyard is a nice idea, but not great if you're trying to get to sleep early. At least they stopped at 11pm.
