The building itself is beautiful. We had an early morning flight, so checking out early was easy and wasn’t a problem

This is an older property, but has real charm! The breakfast (which was included) was outstanding, and the parking was free and easy. The room was simple but had everything we needed. The staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, a great experience.

John • Family Trip
Friendly staff, convenient location on the outskirts of downtown (uber was $10 or $15 to all the notable sites), and the room rate included a voucher for two breakfasts at the attached tavern - breakfast was hearty and delicious, Room was on the ground floor, external entrance (like a motel), beds and pillows were comfortable. It’s not the Ritz but we loved our stay and would highly recommend if you don’t need to be walking distance to everything.

I loved staying there! The room is clean and has everything yiu need to live comfortably! Bed is big and washroom clean as well. The stuffs are freindly and helpful. I had very nice chat with one of the lady and she showed great warmth of Newfoundland hospitality! The complimentary breakfast selection is the best ever. I have tried moose sausages and the Eglish breakfast is great as well. Awesome food. It is located in the Rabbit town area, althought it is a little distance to downtown, the walk is enjoyable! I want to thanks the hotel for great services and hospitality. I have fell into with Newfoundland, St. John's is a beautiful city which I will for sure come back. And next time, I will stay here as well. Hopefully. See you soon! Highly recommend this place ❣️

Value is excellent. Location is easy to get in and out of town. About a 25 to 30 min walk to the downtown harbour area or 20 to the nearest shops. Parking is free, if you are visiting at john's, renting a car is the best option imo. The pub is okay, albeit pricey, however everything regarding food and drinks is pricey in this town for some reason. The rooms are clean and comfy, AC can be loud. Laundry on site, however the dryer doesn't dry very well. Staff are helpful and friendly.
