The central location is a real plus, offering easy access to the harbor and the lively George Street, yet the hotel maintains a quiet, homey atmosphere. Overall, a solid choice for those wanting a taste of St. John's history alongside a comfortable stay.”

AWESOME stay!

perfect location authentic building comfortable room helpful staff
The location is perfect. I found it was so close to shops, restaurants, and the harbour. The historic building is very authentic. I REALLY liked that. My room had a spa bath and shower. I was very comfortable. The staff tried their best to be helpful. The elevator was also quick.
The air conditioning did not work. I changed the thermostat, but nobody offered assistance. The guest services have shifted downward.
