It’s an historic property and just loved the old charm in the place.
Josefina
El desayuno es muy básico.
Kirstin
Breakfast waa simple and convenient. Location can't be beat. Historical charm is high.
Donna
I was super excited to stay here due to the location in St. John’s. When we checked in, we were assigned to a fourth floor room in which we had to carrier suitcases up a flight of stairs. It turned out not to be a big deal, but I did feel like staff should’ve checked in with us, whether that location of a room Would work. We stayed in what seemed to be the revised attic which had some awkward slanted ceilings, although very beautifully decorated. Outside of that the property is beautiful!
Trudi-Ann
This was a perfectly located hotel to take in the Harbour, Water St and George St. It was clean and the bed was so comfortable.
Catharine
The property is perfectly located for downtown and the harbour! Decorating and having what we needed was good! The renovations for bathrooms and decor were wonderful. A historic building! However we were on the top floor and the air conditioning did not work and normally that is ok but it was terribly hot and we felt like our room was in an attic with no air flow! We had windows that opened to the courtyard, which we could hear all the conversations and loudness from the events that were in the area! I would recommend staying on first or second floor facing the harbour! Very close to George Street and restaurants! Free parking and the fridge was helpful.
Tina
Little piece of history
Amelia
Location was perfect as access to Water and George Streets made it easy to venture out.
Our room was on the ground floor and we could hear people inside and outside the building as well as the elevator and traffic. Was disappointed with the 1970s dated decor.

The size of the room was amazing. Nice historical building. Clean but needs some refreshing. Location was perfect.
Don’t count on the breakfast though, it consisted of muffins, some fruits (bananas and apples), yogourt, juices and oatmeal only.

Hotel is in a great location,2 blocks from
George street. Problem is you can clearly hear the people above us - all night, having x-rated conversations!! The hotel could easily add soundproofing insulation in the open spaces between the exposed wood rafters! (See photo)
Breakfast was minimal, nothing gluten free except yoghurt & fruit. Will not stay again as there are other options close.

Good location, nice rooms.
John
Beautiful historic building with convenient parking right in downtown. We loved the room, spacious, clean and modern. Breakfast was simple but good. Staff friendly and front desk lady gave helpful directions to get to hotel as nearby streets were closed to traffic.
Kris
Very unique stay, well maintained, friendly staff, perfect location, and the restoration of old world was amazing
Mark
Huge rooms!
Hossein
We had a wonderful stay at The Murray Premises Hotel in St. John's. The building is beautiful and full of character, and despite its age, everything was exceptionally clean. We didn't see a single bug during our stay, which was impressive for such a historic property. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the location couldn't be better—right in the heart of downtown with easy access to great shops, restaurants, and attractions. We would definitely stay here again!
Jennifer Paije
Great staff, clean and spacious rooms, well located to amenities in the town.
No restaurant on site, but plenty in the vicinity. Breakfast provided is fruit, yogurt, coffee, tea, juice and pastry.
We would return.

Our room had another woman’s underwear on the floor when we arrived! Even worse, our room was cleaned twice, and no one noticed it. Absolutely disgusting!
The sad part is this was our honeymoon:(
To make matters worse, they did nothing to compensate us for the cost of our room. They said there was nothing they could do because we booked through Expedia.
The front desk staff also lacked basic knowledge about the hotel’s room rates and the main tourist attractions in the area.
This was worse than a 1-star hotel. DO NOT BOOK HERE! Book at Alo it is right beside the main downtown 1 min walk.
Erica the night desk clerk who works at night is amazing. She knew her stuff and had excellent customer service.

Big clean rooms! Right downtown!
Jennifer
Really enjoyed our stay! Plenty of onsite parking, and it was within walking distance to our supper reservations and George street. Room was beautiful, spacious, and clean. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the continental breakfast options were very limited. Apart from that, definitely recommend this property and would stay again ourselves.
Damon
Our room was great it had a king size bed and was very comfortable, The area by the tv was nicely appointed had 3 chairs( incl the desk chair) , and was very roomy.
The bathroom was great - large lots of room, a large jacuzzi type tub (which we didnt use this time) and a huge walk in shower which was great and worked well. The water seemed softened, which was a nice touch and there were plenty of fresh towels and soaps, conditioners, etc. The towel heater was a nice touch and the floor heat in the bathroom meant no cold feet when getting in or out of the shower. We were in the older part of the building, so the ceilings are a bit lower but were very satisfied with the accomodations. One comment was the air recirculation system intake was right above the bed and sound traveled thru it a bit. we could hear other guests periodically, but it wasnt a great inconvenience. The coffee and light breakfast foods like yogurt, croissants, muffins, oranges and bananas were appreciated as well. Having 2 restaurants right across the street was also very nice.
The room said it had a view of the harbour, I would say that was a bit generous as we could see a small sliver at the back, unless you pressed your face against the window and could see thru the restaurants across the street, but nevertheless we really enjoyed the room. Parking was good , although we have handicapped parking so we were right up near the door. Based on our experience we would stay there again. Thankyou.

We were very disappointed in the breakfast, very limited even for a continental breakfast.
The pillows need to be replaced, they were either brick hard or lumpy, and none were good for people with short necks. Had to sleep on a towel.
Parking was great for downtown.

The parking on site was easy. The rooms were unique and not just like any typical room. I loved the feel of the old building, but either way comfy beds and lots of space. Location is excellent as well.
Shelley
Nice place!
Teresa
This is a nice hotel in a great location. The room was spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately, though, the carpet in the room smelled strongly of old gym shoes. Time to refresh the flooring!
Jason
Great location, close to Water and George St and right on the harbour. Lovely!
Ample parking, good grab and go breakfast, clean rooms and pleasant staff.

I have already booked for next year. The staff are friendly professional and always have a smile on their faces.
Lindsay
We had a comfortable few days at this hotel. Unfortunately with a bad rainstorm the roof started leaking above our room but the staff were awesome and upgraded us to a suite for the remainder of our stay. Breakfast was typical continental. Only complaints were the seagulls, so noisy early in the morning !!!
Lisa
We enjoyed this hotel very much. It was centrally located and very clean. The only problem was noise from the room above us in the middle of the night. You can hear voices and walking. We suggest requesting the top floor to avoid this. Other than that it’s a great hotel to stay at!
Julia
The room was clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. It was nice to have free parking at the hotel. The location was perfect for walking, shopping and multiple restaurants to choose from.
Sylvia
I love the location and how close it is to everything downtown. Staff were very friendly and we had a very easy check-in.
Catherine
This is a beautiful hotel and in an ideal location, everything is close by. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Our room was very large, bright, and clean.
But for a higher rating more care could have been shown on some of the details, the curtains were frayed, and the tap in the shower was marked backwards (cold was hot, hot was cold).
Breakfast was included, but basic; yogurt, fresh croissants, individually wrapped fresh muffins, instant oatmeal, granola bars, bananas, apples, and oranges, along with coffee, tea, apple and orange juice.
The parking lot is small and can only be accessed by a one-way street. The street needed to get to the one-way street was closed; it would have been helpful to receive a “heads up” type email from the hotel with instructions to access the parking lot when Google Maps can’t get us there.
I would definitely still recommend this hotel, but be aware of some minor shortcomings.

Hi, our stay was above beyond from beginning to end of our 2 nite stay. We got an early check in by a most helpful, courteous staff member. Our room was immediately switched to match our expectations!
It’s our fav downtown place to stay mainly for parking convenience and location.. in addition to the above compliments .
Really looking forward to our next stay !
Thank you so much for making our stay another success-as always you made us feel special….

Cecil
Our stay at this hotel was wonderful, and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Unfortunately, our trip took a heartbreaking turn when we returned to our car and discovered it had been broken into.
While the incident itself was completely beyond the hotel's control, what truly stood out was how the General Manager, Adam Chiu, responded. Adam immediately stepped in with genuine care and compassion. He helped clean out the car, vacuumed up all the broken glass, carefully taped up the shattered window to protect it, and even provided towels for us to sit on so no one would be sitting on leftover glass during our drive home.
In a stressful and upsetting situation, Adam went far above and beyond what anyone could reasonably expect. His kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help turned an awful experience into one where we felt genuinely supported and cared for.
Thank you to the entire team, and especially to General Manager Adam Chiu, for your exceptional customer service. While we wish the break-in had never happened, we will always remember the compassion and dedication shown to us during such a difficult moment. He is a tremendous asset to the hotel, and his commitment to his guests is truly exceptional.

Lisa
Staff were friendly and helpful. Beautiful hotel!
Moira
Beautiful heritage building, and our king room was fantastic. The staff was really helpful as we arrived very late after our flight got delayed several times in Halifax and didn't get info in St. John's until 1am. The lovely, sweet attendant even brought us ice as it was on the other side of the restaurant
Simon
Clean roman. Elevator seem du for maintenance... a little scary
Timothy
The room was just OK. Cobwebs that have been in the corner for what appeared to be years. The room otherwise was clean but needed updating. Small hole in the wall in the bathroom appeared to be from a misplaced towel bar holder and retried, but hole not filled in and painted. Cracks in the sink. Nothing horrible...everything clean, just old and outdated. The morning breakfast was cellophane wrapped, unknown biscuits?? Hard pass...
Sheila
The character in the hotel was amazing and the location was perfect walking distance to downtown easy to get to restaurants
Rod
Convenient to central St. John’s, parking included and close by, beautiful room and common spaces
Jeannette
No one gave me a parking pass, no one told me ice machine on 2nd floor was not working or an alternative. No one told me about the WiFi password. The man tried to convince me that I was in a section of the upgraded area, but the rug had stains and window area had some decaying going on.My view was an entrance for employees and they were disturbing my time. Kept hearing noise creaking from the floor above. I think they look at solo travelers as a way to put them in rooms less desirable. Breakfast was not what I expected. Bed was very comfortable and bathroom outstanding
Lydia
Room was OK, coukd use a refresh. staff pleasant & helpful.
Kristian
Staff were awesome; kind and accommodating. The hotel itself was well maintained and clean. Location was central to all the main downtown activities we wanted to explore i.e. Water St, George St, Jellybean Row, etc. Would recommend and would stay again.
Lisa
Lovely and unique hotel
Patricia
Love the atmosphere , location and cleanliness !
Sara
This hotel has amazing character, it feels like a slice of history. It has the charm of an older building, but was clean and well maintained. The floors squeak a bit, so if your upstairs neighbours like to walk around, it can get a bit annoying when you are trying to sleep, but the rest of our stay was quiet enough.
The breakfast room was a busy place, but was well stocked with banana, apples, oatmeal, granola bars, muffins, croissants, yogurt, juice, tea and coffee. Our room had a fridge, which was helpful with all the leftovers the local restaurants sent us off with!
The room was huge! We never did figure out the fireplace. There was a huge jacuzzi tub in our room, and although I'm not usually one for soaking in a strange tub, the hills in St. John's had me in there almost everynight. If you're walking a lot on your vacation, you'll be glad to have it.
The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect. We had a view of the harbour, and so many pubs and restaurants in stumbling distance. I'd definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay, central to the city.
The rooms are somewhat dated, but still a very comfortable place to stay.

Hotel was in an excellent location, close to everything in town. Love the parking that was free and that large pickup trucks could fit. The room was great, very comfortable and clean and continental breakfast was good.
Jim
The first time we went , we were on the 4th floor. The elevator only went to the 3rd floor! It was a weirdly laid out room. Not very efficient. The second time we went, we were on the first floor, but the shower was visible to guests and vice versa. Odd. The breakfast was ho hum. Cleaning Staff was unfriendly and parking left much to be desired. Would not recommend this place.
Marilyn
Everything we needed including generous surface parking in a great location. A historic property so a little noisier than newer hotels. The free drink offer doesn’t exist anymore but was issued a card for $20 off $50 spend at Jack Astors across the street.
joanne
Great location
Debi
Spacious room but a bit strange. Lovely deep tub and separate shower. Both with glass walls looking into the bedroom and if the curtains were open, outside. NO privacy at all! Well equipped and comfy bed.
The front desk staff, especially Ethan, were great! Helpful recommendations and very friendly. Easy parking, great location.
The continental breakfast was pretty weak.

Large room, clean. Old renovated property. Nice place but rated OK as they had no on site bar so no late night sna ks or drinks to bring to the room. Otherwise was fine.

The property is very nice lots of character great location. Only complaint is the bed was very hard
Debbie
Our king room was beautiful and had a very nice stay.
However, the breakfast that was included with our room rate was extremely disappointing. We had stayed there a couple of years ago and had paid extra for breakfast then and it was much, much better -way more selection and more of a real breakfast. This year all that was there was Costco muffins, granola bars, fruit, and yogurt, coffee,tea. No microwave to heat anything up, no jam, peanut butter, etc.. Very basic. The breakfast we had there a couple of years ago was also called continental breakfast, but had boiled eggs, etc. -more of a real breakfast. We didn’t make a reservation elsewhere for breakfast when booking our hotel reservation because we were looking forward to the included breakfast since it was very good last time.
I know things are being cut back everywhere but when you pay $386 for a hotel room for one night with breakfast included, you expected to be a little more than what it was.

Excellent as always!

The big tub was very loud.
They have super flush toilets that are loud at night.
Our large room should have a large comfortable chair.
Nice big shower with towel warmer and heated floor.

Lovely room. Walking distance to the harbour and many many restaurants and attractions

I loved my room. It was so charming and had such a warm, safe feeling. The character of the hotel is absolutely lovely.

We stayed for 4 nights on the second floor. All nights were quiet except for one. You can hear people walking and talking in the room above. One night, they stayed up till 12 and then up again at 0530 . Not a good nights sleep. I would stay on the third floor to avoid this. The room shown on the internet for eating is not in use. The actual breakfast room is small and is not a 5 star breakfast. Croissants from Costco. No dairy milk. No eggs. Quite different from all the other places we stayed in NFLD which had hot breakfasts with eggs, bacon, and toast. Still, it was adequate and was a good place to discuss travels with other guests. Note that the fireplace is just for show. There is no heat as it is only a light show. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was large as was the room itself. The building is a 200 year old converted warehouse made of large solid wood beams. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Good restaurants across the street.

It was clean. Good bathroom. Great location.
The 4th floor rooms in the eaves are awkward due to slanted ceilings and layout

A very nice hotel with great character, lovely rooms, and all the expected amenities (with needed new restaurant coming this month June 2026). Staff are absolutely excellent which makes the difference compared to the big hotel chains.

Room was great, bed was comfortable, staff were nice- especially the nigh shift who were always very friendly and helpful- which was great when your flight arrives after 1am. I would absolutely stay there again.
