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.

Lovely stay, with view of harbor. Comfortable room, easy access to town restaurants, and great host and breakfast

We stayed for two nights, but would have stayed longer. Very comfortable room and wonderful continental breakfast. David, the host is friendly and helpful.

Very clean and nice breakfast. Quite a few stairs to the bedrooms. Walking distance to restaurants ( uphill return walk lol).

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.

Our room was small but it was a good location close to downtown but not too close. Thank you David and Cherry.

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.

The home was quite beautiful, the view out The Narrows to the Atlantic breathtaking, the breakfast excellent; Sherry was an outstanding host. Please emphasis how challenging the stairs can be to those with knee problems. It was barely five minutes to The Rooms and 10 minutes to the prime areas of Water and Duckworth. The steepness of the streets to the heart of downtown was challenging. We would have felt a little less nervous arriving late at the airport if we'd had an email letting us know how we'd get the key. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
