Fabulous location in an historic building with view of the downtown harbour. No parking but staff provided a permit for on-road parking which worked well. Slight smell of cooking in main public areas. Air conditioning was a bit iffy, but then St John's is not a tropical destination so all was fine.

A/C was fine. Parking was fine. A bit more detail required in cleaning standards. The caretaker was very responsive to all of our needs.

The room was dirty overall; floors were greasy, hair and dirt in the bathtub, both tub and sink taps were leaking, the shower curtain disgustingly stained and dirty. The toilet paper holder was hanging off the wall, the door didn’t close properly. The bed sheets were stained, old and discoloured. This room was overall unkept not clean and uncomfortable. We booked and paid for 3 nights, however we left after 3 hours. This property is disgusting!! Avoid at all costs!

I really enjoyed my stay, thank you for accomodating us!!!

We enjoyed this inn. There was an envelope there when we arrived with our name on it, so getting in was easy. There only problem we had in our room was that the air conditioner wasn’t enough to cool the room. They did have 2 fans as well. I’m not sure if the air conditioner wasn’t working properly or just wasn’t big enough for the space.

No Manager available. Left code for door and could not reach sa human emailed to say I was late and no answer. phone couldn't get through to leave message

The room was spacious and comfortable with useful amenities. Access was easy and we never had cause to contact any staff. Parking on the street was difficult to find, but the location was central and we could walk to most places.

The site is beautiful and well maintained. The room is clean and nice, stocked with tea and coffee. You also have a mini fridge and microwave in room. Parking is street parking only so I recommend asking for a parking pass early on to ensure you can park in front of the building as it is mainly permit required only parking in the area. less than a block from the main doors is a park with homeless individuals day and night. Although we never had issues with anyone, you do walk past this area or park your vehicle in front or near it. When walking in the main doors there is a strong smell, but once inside your room you can no longer smell it. The staff were quick to respond and provide us with what we needed when asked.

Quaint and cute with a challenging layout.

Everything was excellent about our stay and the room was great. I will give a mixed review about location as it’s excellent for walking and seeing St. John’s but it is next door to a park with several sketchy people hanging out nightly. We were okay with it but others might be less comfortable. Thanks for the stay.

Large king size bed, hot shower, if you don't like stairs, this is not the property for you.

The room was nice and within walking distance of downtown (you need to be able to do hills). Our only serious complaint is the parking. The inn has none, and street parking is complicated. Although the parking rules may be clear to locals, travellers will not know where to find critical information. In our case, we incurred $100 in parking fines in one overnight due to confusing signage and an unmarked street cleaning operation. The property owners posted a small paper notice on the front door, but honestly when you struggling to get your bags in off the street and up the stairs, these things get missed. A better warning system would be useful.

La chambre était propre, on avait celle avec vue du port et fleuve c’était super. Près du centre-ville donc facile à pied mais faut penser qu’en revenant ça monte beaucoup. On a apprécié qu’il y avait café, bouilloire et micro-ondes.

The Abba was in a fantastic location but with the St Johns parking and no air conditioning it needs some improvements. Hopefully they can due some upgrades and improve the experience

This is a boutique hotel in an older building. There is a certain charm with the architecture and the high ceilings; however, with an older building there is poor sound-proofing (we heard every step the upstairs guests made). Our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The room needed a deep clean as there were dust-bunnies under the chairs and in the corners. The hard surface floors are great but were not very clean when we arrived. There was grit and fingernail clippings that did not belong to us. We walked around in our socks to keep the room clean but that also revealed how dirty the floors were. The location is great; right beside Jelly Bean row and within walking distance of downtown. The parking was as advertised but there are only 7 or 8 spaces on the street for non-residents, happily we always found a place to park each day. The check-in process was non-contact. We were given lots of information prior to check-in and an info pack on arrival. There was a guest directory provided with some information on local attractions and restaurant suggestions.

Great location, very helpful and super responsive staff. Everything was good.

yes

Room was clean and well-stocked with milk, butter, tea and coffee, as well as mugs, glasses and wine-glasses, soap and shampoo.

The room had lots of character and a beautiful view of St John’s, the harbour and the ocean. The bed was comfortable and, despite the cold weather, we were very warm. The location was perfect for attending the Brier at Mary Brown’s Centre and exploring the city. We found easy street parking a few steps away (as long as we moved the car by noon). There was no daily service but everything we asked for was done very quickly.

Advertised as B&B! No breakfast at all. Coffee and tea in room but no kettle or coffee pot. Bed was comfortable, room was stuffy as the window couldn’t be opened. Parking was terrible. Room was comfortable but we were very disappointed about having no breakfast. False advertising as not a B&B
