Good hotel

The hotel was fine. Clean, comfortable, could use an update. I have to say it is odd that there are 4 floors but the elevator only goes as far as 3. So if you got a lot of luggage. You get off on floor 3 then have to carry your stuff up to floor 4. Very odd

I really enjoyed my stay at the Murray Premises. The staff were courteous and the breakfast was well-stocked with fruit, muffins, croissants, coffee and juice. The location was perfect, the bed and room very comfortable with a historic grace to it you will not find at a soul-less corporate hotel. The only negative if you can call it that is that there are small signs where the hotel might be showing its age - loose handles, old caulking, tired this and tired that - easy fixes that if caught in time will brighten it right up. I will be back as this did not bother me in the least and this was just my personal observation. I highly recommend a stay at Murray Premises, right in the heart of it all!

A beautiful historic building renovated to a modern hotel. Great location walking distance to shops, restaurants, pubs, The Rooms and Signal Hill (if you are ambitious). Tue complimentary breakfast was a nice surprise. Our room was clean, spacious and comfortable and we loved the heated towel rack!!! Will definitely return.

I love the staff especially Harkirat, for his kindness and generosity who went out of the way to get us bottled water as all groceries were closed after 7 pm. Also I thank Brianna for guiding us for the best dinner we longed for. For sure I will recommend this property
