Conveniently located and very friendly and helpful staff. Is in the thick of downtown so can be noisy at night especially on the weekend. Would stay again.

This very old property has always been a lodging house. The renovation is tasteful and beautiful. We were very comfortable. The area is rough - but it is right in the middle of the famous George and Water street. You can walk to the Battery District and view the harbour from a height. Parking is easily handled by a municipal building across the street. We stayed for four nights and were surprised at how inexpensive it was.

Overall it was as described and what I expected. Except for the strong damp smell of mold. It did not feel healthy to be in the room at the top floor. There is an issue that must be addressed.

This is a very old building and the rooms could use some TLC. The stairwell leans quite a bit too, which adds character if nothing else. I also did not realize the bathroom was going to be shared, which should be highlighted in the descriptions. If you don't mind the old boarding house feel, its very close to all the food and entertainment.

The location is excellent. Walking distance to harbour, pubs, restaurants, shops and the metro overnight parking lot that is across the street. The hotel is unique as it is located in an old building with narrow staircases, etc and the bedrooms which are a combination of old and modern, are very comfortable.

It was an old building so there was a window air conditioner which was fine, but it left gaps around the window and there was a lot of noise outside throughout the night. Cars, horns honking and people yelling at each other! All else was fine, there was no interaction with staff as it is a self check in and out.

The place looks rundown, we were a bit nervous. It is right over the bars and you have to park in parking garage across the street. They dont tell you that until the day before your stay. Room was fine but i would never go back there

Disappointing Experience - Inflexible Cancellation Policy I'm extremely disappointed with the hotel's refusal to provide a refund or accommodate changes to my booking due to unforeseen circumstances. With the ferry cancellation caused by a hurricane, my trip was canceled just 2 days before arrival. Despite my efforts to request a partial refund or transfer my dates, the hotel rigidly adhered to their policy, leaving me with a $300 loss. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the hotel's quality since I never got to check in. However, I wish they would consider exceptions for extreme weather conditions or transportation cancellations. A more flexible approach would have made a significant difference in this situation. As it stands, I'm left feeling frustrated and unreimbursed."

Very unclean stains on sheets and pillows. Dirty handprints on the walls and some sort of dried liquid running down the headboard. Cobwebs and spiders. Would never ever go back.

An unexpected expensive stay!
We had mistakenly booked (and paid for before arrival) 5 nights r/t one night. Once I noticed our error I tried to cancel it however I missed the cancellation & refund date by one day. On arrival I explained the situation to management hoping that might extend some grace and refund payment for the 4 unused nights however they declined to do that. To their credit they did rent one of our nights and gave us a small partial refund. For that we were grateful. Good service, comfortable room, great location in downtown St. John’s
