On registering, we received a parking permit for our car, so we could park on the local streets. The manager was very friendly, and gave us a nice breakfast each morning. The room was a good size, and the bed was very comfortable. We left a camera battery charger in the bathroom, and the hotel staff contacted us immediately and tried to return it to us. They were very helpful and sympathetic.
Lovely Bed and Breakfast close to downtown St. John's. Our host provided parking passes which enabled us to park on certain streets in the area free. A variety of breakfast items were available. Close proximity to restaurants and shopping. Quiet and comfortable.
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.

There was no service desk on the premises - the communication was done over the phone or through notes in an envelope. Once you walk in there are sign saying to remove footwear, which was extremely inconvenient each time you needed to go and from your room. The are 4 flights of stairs you have to walk up if your room is on the top floor, with no option for an elevator. The room we stayed in was so small that two suitcases took up the entire floor space. The breakfast consisted of bread and cereal. The toilet paper was thin and cheap. We stayed for 4 nights and felt extreme claustrophobia by the end of our stay. Overall wouldn’t recommend for the price you pay.
We stayed for two nights, but would have stayed longer. Very comfortable room and wonderful continental breakfast. David, the host is friendly and helpful.
The location was perfect and the parking tag we were given was very helpful. The only thing I would change would be a better breakfast. Lacked hot options and should have low sugar cereals.
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.
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.
