Guests like the quiet, walkable location near downtown and the ample free parking.

Everything was amazing! Large comfortable room, loved the tub with jacuzzi jets. The on site Bistro has very tasty food! Caesar salad was excellent. Had services at the Spa as well, top notch. Shout out to Jenn 😊 Walking distance to downtown but beautiful quiet location. I can’t recommend enough.

We love staying at the Monastery. The staff, spa and bistro are all amazing. No matter how much hustle and bustle during the day, we leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. Highly recommend for a quiet getaway and some “Me” time.

Room was very well equipped, roomy, modernized and clean. Area was peaceful, tucked away from traffic and just quiet. They have a similar peaceful bistro with a nice tucked away outdoor patio. The spa is a fantastic addition though I didn't have time try it. It does look like a full service spa and wellness centre.

This is a lovely spa hotel in a quiet area away from the downtown. Breakfast is included but the on-site bistro is small and the breakfast choices very limited. There are more choices if you are purchasing breakfast but we were not made aware of this.

The grounds were lovely and well kept. We loved breakfast at the bistro—especially that it was served all day, every day. The first room that we were given had very dirty floors (we found something sticky on the floor by the bed that we cleaned up) but we appreciated that we were given a new room. In that room, there were still some hairs left in the tubs and the furniture was very old (the mattress was bowed and the furniture was scuffed). However, we appreciated that the hotel staff acknowledged that this wasn’t their standard and were willing to fix the problem.

Included breakfast was okay. Room dated, but clean. Dining staff could make guests aware that there is a full menu available just not included with their room package. Room is a little worse for wear… bed wasn’t comfortable, top bedding needs cleaning, no skirt/duster on bed which exposed the box springs (not a good look), floors have pieces missing, bathroom needs to be patched up and repainted, toilet handle broken. Definitely didn’t feel like a room normally thought off when you think of a spa hotel.

Liked the location of the room... More like an apartment with outside entrance... Room design was nice. Room wasn't cleaned thoroughly after the last guest as there was a pair of men's underwear behind the bed. The only reason we know this as the fitted sheet kept coming off the mattress and we had to routinely replace it. Even though the please clean room sign was placed on the door daily it was not cleaned as when we asked to have it cleaned dirty glasses and garbage we're not replaced. Sign was placed the following day on the door but no cleaning was done. The air condition unit was as low as it could go and yet the room was still uncomfortably hot for sleeping. When checking out the staff did not ask how out stay was as I would have told them verbally, but as they hadn't I have written this review.

Breakfast was not great, had the eggs Benedict. $20 and doesn’t come with hash browns or any side. There was a certain smell to the room/linen that was overwhelming. Room definitely in need of an update!

The hotel was clean, the beds were comfortable and the staff was friendly. The hotel is very quiet while we were there. We also had a heat wave during our stay & the hotel had the room prepped so it was nice & cool for our arrival (which was not the case at other hotels during our travels!). I found this to be one of the few hotels downtown where you didn’t have to pay for parking & there was lots of parking. This is nice because parking is limited in downtown St Johns. It was an easy walk to George St/Water St area for food & shopping. Although you do have to walk up a hill to get back to the hotel at the end of an evening. The only issue we had with the hotel &why i didn’t give it 5 stars is because the WiFi is horrible.

Hotel has potential but totally unachieved. Pro: location close to downtown, room large size, bed comfortable and bed coverings up to date. Con: dark colour pallet make room cold, air in room is musty and window doesn't open to air it out, two tiles in bathroom broken and grout missing on third, old moldy sushi in bar fridge, four empty beer bottles on floor, no face soap or shampoo in room and not available first night when asked at desk, room wifi connection dropped several time and when inquired front desk told it was issue with previous guests and it is the customers problem not theirs. Evening front desk attendant has no personality and any issues not of any interest or concern for her. Hotels bones could be good if run properly but definitely not.

Very nice property. I would be happy to stay again. But the room I stayed seem to have little or no sound insulation. Noises from the hall were loud enough to appear they were in the room. And I could even hear quiet sounds (like running water) from adjacent rooms. Still, very nice property.

Room was incredible for the price, the jacuzzi tub was a nice surprise. Very quiet area. My only real complaints (and they're minor) the floor could use some maintenance. A few of the planks need to be replaced I think. And the a/c i thought was kinda noisy.

The rooms were ok, but finishes were worn and dated. Flooring had gaps, llighting flickered and there were unfinished fixtures in the wall. Mini bar was abandoned and the mini fridge was noisy. The hot tubs in the room were a novelty and clean. The facility was kind enough to let us use the physio space and equipment as a gym. But no gym towles or disinfectant. An OK stay. The breakfast was good, but limited selection and more limited substitutions.

From the moment we brought the issues to their attention, they handled everything with professionalism, patience, and genuine care. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and satisfied with our stay.

The Monastery Spa and The Monastery Suites both charged our credit card for our three night stay in August. Despite me calling twice in August to ask their help in correcting the issue, they have not done anything and now I need to ask my credit card company to dispute the charge. I spoke with someone on the desk who said they would help last month, and nothing heard since. Not impressed with service.

The included breakfast was available in the hotel’s spa building. The Spa building was a beautiful renovated character building. Great staff in bistro. They were friendly, warm, and efficient. Disappointed in our room as it was not in the main hotel but in an unattractive auxiliary building. Room was spacious and modern. Hotel reception was unfriendly and unwelcoming. Front desk reluctant to have our room “made up” between our 2 nights.

Monastery is wonderful! This was my second time staying here. The staff is kind, the food is great, the rooms are clean, and it feels very safe and welcoming. My first stay, they even did all my laundry, including my bag, and returned it the same day which was so helpful. This will continue to be my go-to place to stay in St. John’s!
