Top Downtown St. John's Hotel Reviews

The Murray Premises Hotel

8/10 Good

"The property is very nice lots of character great location. Only complaint is the bed was very hard"

Gower Manor Historical Bed & Breakfast

8/10 Good

"Excellent central location accessible to all sites in St John’s Very clean property Expedia falsely advertised a 24 hour shuttle which was one of the reasons I booked here and was never endorsed or organized by owner. I recommend use of liquid soap not bar soap in shower re public health recommendations Sharing bathroom amongst all rooms may create difficulties if people have early starts but second shower available in basement. Much better price than large hotels"

The Duckworth

2/10 Terrible

"You have to use a code to enter the building to check in. That should have been our first sign that the property was not safe. Our truck was broken into while staying there. They smashed out or window even though nothing was left in the cab. Didnt feel safe staying there anymore and the hotel refused to refund the last night of our stay. filed a police report and they said it happens all the time in that area. also th bed was VERY uncomfortable..."
