J’ai beaucoup voyagé dans ma vie et jai eu toutes sortes de chambres d’hôtel. Je ne suis vraiment pas du genre à me plaindre des chambres d’hôtels mais là, il y a des limites. Nous avions réservé une chambre à cet hôtel pour deux soirs et nous ne sommes restés qu’une heure seulement. Nous étions à l’étage la plus haute. La chambre est très petite, nous devions partagé la douche et les toilettes avec des gens d’une autre chambre. C’est très vieux et surtout, cet endroit n’est vraiment pas sécuritaire. Si jamais il y avait un feu, impossible de descendre ou de sortir à un autre endroit que le seul et unique escalier. Je ne recommande vraiment pas cet endroit.

After staying is more expensive places, we were a bit worried that this place would be too noisy and central for us. We were wrong. It is a beautiful old house that has been nicely maintained. There was a small bit of street noise, but nothing that woke us up. The room was a bit warm for us, even with the AC on high. Overall, excellent value and a nice, clean and safe place.

Beautiful and comfortable modern space and you cannot get any better in terms of location within St. John's. The noise of partiers on the street can get a bit loud at night so bring ear plugs if that is a concern for you.

The bed was not the most comfortable, but the noise was unbearable! People were in the restaurant/bar until past 1:00am and they were all shouting! It was extremely loud!!! And we still heard stragglers till 3:00am. Unfortunately we had chosen this hotel because of its proximity to the airport and we needed to get up at 3:45am to catch an early flight. Do NOT recommend this hotel for weekends or for quiet ambiance!!!

There was no service. This was the most disgusting place we have ever bien. Absolutely no air in this tiny 5 feet x 7 feet room on the 4th Floor as ac unit not Working well and the partying and slaming of Doors all Nights long. We left after the first Night as we were not able to sleep at all. Will surely be asking for a refund as i really Do not know how Someone can even charge for a Room like this. Found out the Day of our arrival that There is no parking either and therefore had to pay another extra 17$ for the parking across the street. What an awful expérience this was.

While overall convenient for an overnight option, not having an elevator really hindered our stay. Not sure if it was mentioned on the listing but it wasnt something we knew coming in. We ended up just taking our carry on luggage with us and leaving the suitcases in our rental car and packing for our journey back in the car. It got a bit noisy from streets below but it didnt impact our stay, just something else to be aware of.
