Had a one night stay, was good for that purpose. Hallway was a bit loud when others were moving around, but considering it’s a dorm area, it was expected. Breakfast included was perfect.

The dorm rooms are very basic with few amenities but this is a great option for the budget minded person. I don’t think I could do more than 2 nights as the beds are just ok.

First off, you have to know what you are booking. This is a university dorm room with 2 twin beds and institional decor. There are shared bathrooms on each floor. This is not for all travellers. But if you're easy-breezy and just need a bed to sleep in while you explore St. John's, it's great!
