This is an old building with beautiful wood floors. There is a communal fridge and dining table. It is walking distance to restaurants and pubs - right in the heart of the jelly bean houses!

A great location but since we had no car there was a lot of uphill walking. It was clean and comfy but very small room and tiny bathroom. We had to do three flights of stairs, no elevator. The kitchen area was nicely stocked but lacked a sink. Very nice sitting area. Ok for only 2 days.

Regular room , clean sheets but dirty carpets and dust under the bed. The room was hot even with the window air conditionning. The location is very central. We really enjoyed being walking distance to restaurants and shops.

We had the room on the top floor. It was a nice sized room, with a very comfortable queen size bed. It had a window air conditioner which cooled the room to an adequate temperature but still a little warm. The bathroom is tiny with the shower on the opposite side of the room, which worked well. There was a large kitchen area on the main floor and the addition of a water cooler was great. Overall, it was clean snd comfortable and worked well for what we needed.

This property is in an excellent location, easily walkable to the harbour and all the restaurants and bars of Water and George Street, and even walkable if you’re more ambitious, to the hike from Battery neighborhood up to Signal Hill and of course to the Rooms. The room itself was quite small and a bit dated, but if your intention is just to sleep there, it did the trick.

Very disappainting, don't waste your money unless you are looking for something rather inexpensive but are okay with dumpy. My husband and I stayed for one night June 2024 and never again. I reached out several times once back home and did not hear back from the owner. Such disrespect for their guests! Very disappainting!! My issues: -not the room I thought I was getting -no host to greet you and ensure a satisfactory stay or address concerns or answer questions about the local area -room was dumpy and unkept -dead bugs in overhead light -ill-fitting mismatched, wrinkled bed linens, too small to cover 2 adults, only one wrinkled sheet and small wrinkled blanket, we were cold -T.V. didn't work, small dumpy water closet, shower was okay -dirty stairwell, meager breakfast offerings that were unappetizing, stale, over ripe fruit -no one to talk to about my concerns -furniture looked like yard sale discards, paint chips on tables, mismatched lamps, Very poorly appointed room -5th floor room, so many, many steps It is shocking to read other positive reviews. Not sure which rooms would get good reviews. Make sure you get the room and floor if staying! Do not expect any support from inn keeper. The only positive thing is that the inn is near restaurants and a lovely neighborhood.

Very convenient and quiet. Older home so could use some updates. Very limited amenities.
