Hotel Abba Inn Guest House (St. John's, Canada)

The complimentary breakfast is satisfying. You are served fried eggs, toast, great homemade fish cakes, yoghurt, and unlimited coffee, tea, and juice.

The B&B is located in a convenient area. If you want to go to the downtown area you can easily walk there. The location is close to everything and the waterfront and key areas like St Johns are close. You’re basically in the heart of the historic downtown area and can easily walk everywhere.

Rooms are spacious and well furnished. All the basics like seating, good lighting, and desk are there. The bathroom is clean and the towels are nice and fluffy.

Parking at the B&B is really an issue. The only parking available is on the street, which can be limiting.

There’s no one around the place to greet you. You are only left an envelope with a key and your name on it. Moreover, if you have questions or issues, there’s no one around to talk to and what’s worse, calls go unanswered even when you use the cell phone number provided. The most you will get is voice mail. Don’t be surprised if you come back late and forget the code to get in, you will be out of luck, as no one will probably answer the door. To top it off, you may not see anyone during check-out either.

Breakfast is only available for one hour! In addition, there is only enough seating for six, but the facility accommodates twice that many people. You feel like you can’t really enjoy your meal because other people are waiting to eat.
