10 Bed and Breakfast Inns in St. John's: Best hotel deals for 2023
Looking out over the city of St. John's, you may be reminded of a mini San Francisco (minus the cable cars). St. John's provides the ideal balance between nature and nightlife, from the East Coast Trail and its stunning scenery to the colorful entertainment district along George Street. Although it's the largest city in Newfoundland, the vibe is still very small-town. You'll feel welcome in the City of Legends!

Renovation Staycation
Reviewed By rjcnlWe stayed at Leaside for a week while our house was being renovated. We chose Leaside because of its local reputation. We were in a restored heritage property which combined the charm of history with modern amenities. The suite was spacious, clean, and well decorated and could easily accommodate 2 couples. Close to the Harbour but also next to the Waterford River walking/biking trail in downtown St. John's, we found parts of the City we didn't realize existed. The staff were great and really friendly

Within walking distance to everything St. John’s, and a 10 minute drive to the airport, offering traditional Newfoundland hospitality with modern amenities in an Edwardian home that was once a convent, we have 6 rooms - 2 with ensuite, and 4 with private baths. Breakfasts are made to order, featuring homemade bread, warm croissants, and a Newfoundland & Labrador staple, toutons!
First Rate and Highest Recommendation
Reviewed By Brian TWe have stayed at numerous B & B's in Canada, Europe and the United States and we can say that the Georgestown Inn ranks up with the best of them. The basics - easy booking with a long email about the area and things to do, checkin was smooth and our bags just appeared in our top floor room before we knew it, clear house instructions and a room with coffee, tea and dainty snacks, a very clean and organized house, good parking at and around the B & B, all around good value. The breakfast - made to order based on a checklist we provided the night before. Very extensive choices with sensitivity to food needs. Fruit, cereal, yogurt, toast, bacon, home-made sausage, ham, eggs, juice, coffee, tea - all your choice. The breakfast room is large and the seating is at small tables based on your room name. The setup makes it easy to visit or keep to yourself if that is your preference. The rooms - clean and a good size with a huge ensuite bathroom. The shower is excellent! The bed is comfortable and the quilts are very nice. The Beth Suite faced the street but we did not notice any excessive street noise. The best of all - Cindy and John. They were there to help us from the time we arrived and until we left. They were very informed about the area and their suggestions for travel and restaurants were helpful. It takes excellent hosts to really make a B & B special and Cindy and John are those hosts. We have no hesitation to recommend the Geogrestown B & B.

Nightmare - hard to sleep with violent, rowdy bahavior upstairs, & owners tolerate it
Reviewed By explorertheworld1965At first our stay in the Inn was great, with a charming room and nice amenities. A second booking, to the smaller, inferior, higher priced room downstairs, canceled all this out. Gang of people upstairs partying most of the early morning, and unexplained, unsettling roughhousing occurred on the first night there. Complaints to the manager were met with 'please don't call the cops on them! WE will do it if you call us' ( they didn't ). Owners won't address complaints once they get their money. Best to avoid, and if any valuables are misplaced on the premises, expect no help from owners in finding them.

Each room is influenced in design and aesthetic by the vernacular of rural Newfoundland and creatively appointed with locally made furnishings. Personal service and attention to detail are cornerstone to the experience at the Inn.
Outstanding hospitality and charm
Reviewed By autumnguThe Inn at Mallard Cottage is my favourite place to stay when in St. John’s. It’s small (only 4 rooms per building) which makes the stay feel more like being in a guesthouse than a hotel. The location couldn’t be better with views of quaint Quidi Vidi, walking distance to the brewery and Mallard Cottage restaurant and a healthy walk or short drive to downtown. But the main reason I’m writing this review is because the staff went above and beyond to take care of us and keep us comfortable during a flight delay that meant having to stay in town longer than planned. Thank you Anya! Looking forward to our next visit.

He is a dream host, very friendly and always ready to help or advice. And he plays a wonderful period music.

Wish I had taken pictures. In temrs of vaue for money? a 10 on a scale of 1 to 5
Reviewed By francismmmVery quiet. Well appointed. Use of kitchen facilities. My room had free wifi; cable tv; full washroom; super bed; large armoire for clothes. Very fresh. Very clean. It was on the second floor. Free parking directly in front of the entry. No caretaker on site but I was told he was only 50 feet away if needed. This pricing was beyond reasonable. A hostel in a thrid world country would have cost more. In terms of value for money?
