Top University Hotel Reviews

Jag Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott St. John's Newfoundland

8/10 Good

"Clean hotel. Staff very helpful. Lots of parking. Breakfast was good. Choice of hot breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausages, home fries or cold and hot cereal. Toast and bagels. Apples and bananas. Apple and orange juice. ."

Sandman Signature St. John's Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Parking was easy and good, the rooms were clean and modern, and the hotel is clean and modern, the staff was friendly, polite, and professional, we requested to have a room that didn't allow pets because of our allergies and it wasn't a issue, There isn't any morning breakfast available but perhaps a voucher for Denny's which is attached to the hotel could be given. We found that the beds were too soft we are use to a firm mattress. You are in close distance to several shopping areas, eg. (Walmart, Grocery Store, Fast Food, Canadian Tire, Avalon Mall, etc ) and about 10 minute drive from downtown St John's. We would stay there again."
