We just got back from St John's and would highly recommend Balmoral House. Room had a wonderful view of the harbour and the room was comfortable and cozy. David is a great host. Breakfast was continental style and was a great start to each day. Easy to get to restaurants and shops in the downtown. Wonderful- we hope to stay here again.

Our host, Dave, and Cherrie were both amazing: welcoming, attentive and offering helpful tips. The house has been lovingly restored and is in a great location: 6 min. walk from the Rooms and easy walking distance to the main downtown sites. Would definitely stay again.

Easy 15 minute drive from St. John's airport by taxi or Uber. Great location for walkable convenience to downtown restaurants, pubs, The Rooms. Continental breakfast is just what you need to start the day, but the best part is the warm hospitality shown by the hosts. They take great pride in keeping the place immaculately clean, being responsive to inquiries and doing their best to make sure your St. John's visit is simply delightful.

This place is highly recommended! Calm, clean, beautiful interior design. Good breakfast. The host is very hospitable and made me pancakes just because I fancied one morning! My friend and I loved our stay! You just got to avoid the late night/early morning walks around the downtown and that is the only downside to the city - not to this place. We had almost an incident, however, we'll definitely book the Balmoral House for the next trip! It's worth it! :)
