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.

The view from the front porch was of the harbour and channel out to the Atlantic ocean......beautiful. The front rooms of the B&B have this view. The house was beautifully appointed and our host was very helpful.

The Balmoral House is a bed and breakfast run by a great, friendly, young couple. It is located just above the hub of St. John's within walking a distance of all of the pubs and restaurants (which is great as it can be hard to find parking in the core). We were lucky to have the best room in the house and it was lovely, although old fashioned. The place is and probably the best part of our whole stay.

Our hostess in the morning, Cherie, was so helpful and friendly. She shared her experiences in St. John's and was so positive. The owner David was very pleasant and both of them offered suggestions for must see places. it's right downtown so we could park the car and walk, walk, walk!

Exceptional continental breakfast. The property was extremely clean and David the host was very personable. the check in was easy. I would not recommend this property to someone with mobility issues.

This property is lovely. David, our host, is very friendly and knowledgeable. He knows how to run a great B&B. There are only four rooms, two on the second floor and two on the third. No elevator so you have to be able to navigate the stairs. Permit parking was right out front. Very steep walk to the downtown area. Homeless hung out in the park just one house away.

Long walk up & down hills to restaurants & Water street. Some unsavoury characters sitting on step and frequently seen in park next door. Beautiful restored old home. Lovely spacious rooms. Very clean with comfortable beds. Buffet continental breakfast. Air conditioning. Parking on street available.

Cherry, housekeeper, was efficient, friendly and most helpful. She upgraded us for our 2nd and 3rd nights, once a room became available. The property has been brilliantly restored to Victorian/Edwardian splendour. Convenient for all the sightseeing we wanted to do - and for dining (if you can handle the hills! which we could.) We liked the owner, David.

This place is an absolute gem!! David, our host, was super friendly and whom we got the privilege to know personally. He gave us some of the best tips while visiting Newfoundland. The location is perfect. We were able to walk to many shops and restaurants downtown and on the waterfront. Lots of parking in front. The breakfast options were fantastic. Lots to choose from. Wine glasses, cork screws, high ball glasses and ice was all available for our use. The house is beautiful and comfortable. Very clean and the service was amazing. I will definitely book again the next time we're here. Highly recommend it!!
