The Abba was in a fantastic location but with the St Johns parking and no air conditioning it needs some improvements. Hopefully they can due some upgrades and improve the experience

The room had lots of character and a beautiful view of St John’s, the harbour and the ocean. The bed was comfortable and, despite the cold weather, we were very warm. The location was perfect for attending the Brier at Mary Brown’s Centre and exploring the city. We found easy street parking a few steps away (as long as we moved the car by noon). There was no daily service but everything we asked for was done very quickly.

This is a boutique hotel in an older building. There is a certain charm with the architecture and the high ceilings; however, with an older building there is poor sound-proofing (we heard every step the upstairs guests made). Our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The room needed a deep clean as there were dust-bunnies under the chairs and in the corners. The hard surface floors are great but were not very clean when we arrived. There was grit and fingernail clippings that did not belong to us. We walked around in our socks to keep the room clean but that also revealed how dirty the floors were. The location is great; right beside Jelly Bean row and within walking distance of downtown. The parking was as advertised but there are only 7 or 8 spaces on the street for non-residents, happily we always found a place to park each day. The check-in process was non-contact. We were given lots of information prior to check-in and an info pack on arrival. There was a guest directory provided with some information on local attractions and restaurant suggestions.

I liked the charming inn and the location was close to the water. Waking up and seeing the harbor every morning was pleasant to be eyes. The continental breakfast was good. I would definitely stay here again. I also liked the location of the inn being in the community.

It is a very nice place with great location - it is close to the port, the Rooms, a big grocery store and a bakery with gelato. My room was clean, bed comfortable. Self check-in worked very well. All in all, it was a pleassure to stay there.
