Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The bed was very comfortable. The air condition was a welcome treat.
The bar of soap on the bathtub ledge left by the previous guest makes me question how well the shower was cleaned.
Power sources were well hidden, maybe a power bar would be a good addition.
Very tiny television screen.
One broken chair.
Room under repair, partially drywalled, unpainted, no hot water in afternoon, mouse on the bathroom.

The hotel is a 100 years old so it is a bit of an unique experience. We stayed on the third floor so since there is no elevator that was two long flights of stairs. We decided to only bring up the things we needed for two days rather than haul our suitcases up. Although a staff member did offer to help. The room was fine but it could use some hooks on the wall to hang clothes on.
The location is great . Can easily walk to the downtown
area
Incredibly comfortable, spacious, and clean with all the amenities you need. The property is a charming old building and very conveniently located to restaurants and pubs; easy walk to the waterfront and The Rooms museum. The king size bed was so comfortable I ended up sleeping most of the first day because I didn’t want to leave it. The staff was wonderful. I would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
I had a grand 3 night stay at The Duckworth in July 2025. I was very grateful for the staff taking my luggage off my hands before I could check in and also texting me when my room was ready. As I was very much in need of a shower and rest that heads up was much appreciated. The location is fantastic - walkable easily to all parts of downtown with lots of restaurants, pubs and tourist attractions in East walking distance. I found my room to be well laid out and I liked the decor. The room and bathroom were very clean and the bed was amazingly comfortable. There was plentiful hot water and great wi-fi. While there was no in-hotel noise, if you are sensitive to noise two factors to bear in mind are the downtown location (there are some street traffic sounds) and the window mounted A/C which, according to the decibel meter on my phone, made about 40-ish DB (similar to a quiet library). But the A/C was necessary as the temps with the humidex were mid-30s Celsius.
This was my second time staying at The Duckworth and when next in St John's I hope to stay there again.
Easy self check in. The location was wonderful with fully walkable neighbourhood to main down town core and the famous George Street. We would have liked to visit the restaurant in the lobby. It was always busy and looked beautiful, but we ran out of time. For a short stay, we would stay here again. It had a tiny tv. If large tv is impirtant to you, know this.
Property, staff, bar and restaurant facilities and location were great.
We needed assistance to get the TV working enough that we could watch it.
The room was very quaint and adequate .
I would suggest 2 chairs in The room for comfort when watch TV or just relaxing. Not comfortable sitting on the bed trying
To do the above.

Clean, parking not great in July paying for parking on the street
No check-in staff at all. It's nice to talk to the staff about restaurant recommendations/ tour bookings etc. Even a stacknof city maps would have helped.
J’ai beaucoup voyagé dans ma vie et jai eu toutes sortes de chambres d’hôtel. Je ne suis vraiment pas du genre à me plaindre des chambres d’hôtels mais là, il y a des limites. Nous avions réservé une chambre à cet hôtel pour deux soirs et nous ne sommes restés qu’une heure seulement. Nous étions à l’étage la plus haute. La chambre est très petite, nous devions partagé la douche et les toilettes avec des gens d’une autre chambre. C’est très vieux et surtout, cet endroit n’est vraiment pas sécuritaire. Si jamais il y avait un feu, impossible de descendre ou de sortir à un autre endroit que le seul et unique escalier.
Je ne recommande vraiment pas cet endroit.
After staying is more expensive places, we were a bit worried that this place would be too noisy and central for us. We were wrong. It is a beautiful old house that has been nicely maintained. There was a small bit of street noise, but nothing that woke us up. The room was a bit warm for us, even with the AC on high. Overall, excellent value and a nice, clean and safe place.
