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!

Great location. Quiet. Helpful manager. Comfortable bed. Minor negative was no sink in the kitchen so had to wash the coffee pot out in my room! Appreciated the window AC.

Bath room is too small
Kit Mui Valencia, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Lucine, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Parking was a bit of a hassle. I had indicated the need for a parking permit in my pre check in messages but didnt get one until I called the caretaker to request the next day. The room was clean enough but bathroom door in need of repair. Location was excellent...walkable to downtown
Wendy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a 4th floor room which was small but cozy with good breezes from windows on 3 sides. Small narrow staircase may be hard for some people or those with heavy luggage. Coffee or hot water are self serve on the first floor. Small fridge in the room.
Jane, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Donna, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

At the price charged I could book quickly. It was quiet and warm, stairs involved. A spacious room, comfortable bed.
Linda, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Lynn, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very convenient and quiet. Older home so could use some updates. Very limited amenities.
Eric, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

everything was great, staff was friendly and perfect location.
sarah, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
