It’s a three star property. It can be noisy, I used my bathroom fan every night to deal with the noise. It is centrally located, but be prepared to walk some steep hills. There are bakeries in the area that are fantastic ! Stella’s is nice for dinner. It is a quaint spot. I never heard back when I sent concerns to the numbers they provided. It was perfect for me. Well priced, central and very clean.

Amazing spot, a few blocks from everything in the heart of St john's. Room was a great size all the core essentials. Getting towel replaced/refreshed was a pain and the window shaker air conditioner didn't work (other than as a fan), but it was still worth it and would still recommend. Just a note that the building is three stories and is older, so the stairs and floor do creek. Parking in the hearth of St. Johns is extremely difficult as it is so the parking map that they give is extremely helpful.

Loved this place. So cute and homey. Super close to everything. We did not have access to a car so we walked everywhere including downtown, our hikes like deadman’s bay path and Signal hill, and also walked to Quidi Vidi. Also bed was super comfortable! Slept so good every night.

I enjoyed the character and location. However, there was an odd sort of mothball odour. The TV didn’t work. I texted the number provided but didn’t hear back for entire stay.

Parking was fine but the map you provide needs to be clearer. It shows parking past the steps of the park which has a no stopping sign. Never saw anybody park there. We parked on the other side of the street because the map confused us.

There was an overbearing smell of mothballs in our room and we found two on the floor. Their online photographs implied a breakfast was supplied but there was nothing. Walking up to the third floor was difficult.

Our experience here was during Canada Summer Games.Our room had AC,which we appreciated due to the hot weather.Very lovely room and bath. Absolutely empty "breakfast room",not even a water source. Because of heat,I walked barefoot throughout room.My feet were pitch black so guess floors were not washed in quite some time.No personal contact with a soul.
