Enjoyed my stay at the Historic Duckworth Hotel. It has a lot of charm. Very Quiet, bed was great and the room was clean. It has an upmarket restaurant on the ground floor and a great bar in the basement. It is very central, staff were great and everything worked.

Pleasantly Surprised! I was a little apprehensive about checking in, as there is no traditional front desk, but I was pleasantly surprised! The employee who met me was very polite, and the whole check-in process was quick and seamless. My room was on the main floor and was spacious and absolutely spotless. The bed was very comfortable, and I appreciated the little extras, like having additional pillows available. Overall, a wonderful stay that exceeded my expectations. I would definitely stay here again!

Above a restaurant, close to everything downtown, parking garage across the street. Water damage on ceiling in unit, I assume it will be fixed. Great place to stay downtown that isn’t a pricey hotel.

It’s just really really old and therefore a bit dingy and crooked and carpet in entrance and stairs appear dirty. Room and bathroom in our king suite was very clean and roomy. Best bed out of 2 other hotels on our stay. Plaster and paint repair could help make it nicer. Staff was quick and attentive with simple requests. Window ac kept it cool and street noise at bay. Excellent location.

The location is excellent, close to many tourist spots in St. John's. This is an old heritage building with many stairs. The shared bathroom we had is a viable system and I appreciated the lower price compared to many downtown hotels.
