Lovely place, the kindest staff I've ever met, I will definitely be staying there again but I wouldn't recommend staying with Expedia, they charged us twice and according to the staff at the university, this is not uncommon.

First off, you have to know what you are booking. This is a university dorm room with 2 twin beds and institional decor. There are shared bathrooms on each floor. This is not for all travellers. But if you're easy-breezy and just need a bed to sleep in while you explore St. John's, it's great!

This was a very affordable accommodation for the plans that we had. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It is a basic residence room, but given we were out and about all day, it gave us exactly what we needed - clean room, good bed, shower, etc. It worked well.
