Lovely retreat hotel in St John’s
The rooms were well appointed and very clean. With a full cooked to order breakfast included, it’s a great option for staying in St. John’s. If you plan ahead then a Spa treatment add-on can be a part of the stay.

Decent hotel
The room was a decent size. The toilet made the loudest noises when flushing. Also, for a spa hotel the towels and linens are pretty basic quality.

Excellent choice for our stay.
I liked that breakfast was included for free, along with parking and wifi. We also received a free bottle of wine in our mini fridge.
Our waitress at breakfast, Rachel, was so pleasant.
The only thing that I would have liked is an indoor public space to hang out other than the Bistro.
