The Roses Heritage Inn is comprised of two jelly bean houses that are beautifully decorated and furnished with antiques. The rooms are comfortable, with air conditioning, which was needed during our stay. Carol and the staff were super friendly and responded quickly to our needs. My friend arrived in St Johns early in the morning and she was able to pay a minimal amount for a little extra room where she would rest. The hot breakfasts were delicious, with generous portions, and some options unique to Newfoundland such as fried bologna and toutons.

The only unavoidable down side to the Inn that one needs to be aware of, is that many rooms are on second, third and lower levels with access by stairs. Also the breakfast room is on the upper level. The staff were super helpful in helping us move our luggage when they were there. It is worthwhile talking to Carol, the owner, if you have mobility concerns.

Norm is so very personable. He is a gem. Carol was very accommodating when our plans changed and made arrangements for us to have help with our bags when we changed rooms. This was very much appreciated. Our first room (Little Ships Ease) had a small fridge. It also had a hook on the wall by the tub to hang your towel and shampoo and conditioner were provided.

Norm's scrambled eggs were awful. I couldn't eat them. There were chunks like hard-boiled eggs in them with the grey colour that you see around the yolk. Very unappetizing looking. The ham was very dry. Toast, granola yogurt fruit cup, and bacon were great. My friend enjoyed the frittata. We were disappointed there was no fridge in our second room (Lushes Bight). The light above the twin bed is very hard to reach (unless you are very tall). Little Ships Ease could use a suitcase stand. Bedside tables are helpful since many people use CPAP machines.

Excellent location. We loved the old building and large room/suite we had (#10). The beds were very comfortable. The back entrance was handy to bring in our luggage. I'm glad we didn't have to carry them up to the top level! We utilized the outdoor deck for a glass of wine in the evening.

We were a bit disappointed in our breakfast on our first morning. We arrived at the dining room at 8:20 am. Our chef (Rene) advised there were only pancakes left. Our preference would have been eggs, bacon, etc. She did her best and made pancakes for us. She was very lovely. Our second morning was great with the regular chef and lots of menu options. I can't recall his name!! We didn't have any unpleasant experiences at all!

The room exceeded our expectations. It was very tastefully decorated and larger than we expected. It made the whole room comfortable, so much so that we decided to stay in one evening and just relax there. The WIFI was more than sufficient for streaming and the breakfast (and cook) were excellent.

We liked everything. One thing to note though (but not an issue for us) is that the place is a 10 min walk to the centre...but that also gave us some exercise and we discovered different things each time we left and returned.

The aesthetic and decor of the suite we stayed in was so beautiful and we spent so long wandering around and admiring all the attention to detail!! There was also a little kitty visitor on the front step who was an absolute darling. The location was perfect, only a short walk from the pedestrian mall on Water Street, and the whole place was gorgeous! The beds were comfortable and everything was clean and meticulous.

There was nothing that I didn't like. I honestly enjoyed every moment of the stay.

Our suite was very spacious and well laid out for optimal use. We loved that the beautiful period furniture was incorporated into the decor with modern functionality. The beds were extremely comfortable so we had excellent sleeps. The bathroom had ample space for toiletries, and bright lighting above the mirror. Staff responded promptly and pleasantly to questions and requests. We would highly recommend a stay at The Roses.

When we booked, we knew that this heritage home would have many stairs. At the moment, my friend has knee issues, so it took a few extra minutes to navigate them, but she managed.

My Sisters and I loved your cute B&B. The location was excellent . We were close enough to walk downtown. Breakfast with Chef Norm was a great addition to our stay. Staff was very friendly. Loved the Jelly Bean theme of all the houses. Ps Loved the hot water for the shower..

The Hills? Just kidding. There is not much we didn't like. The only thing I will mention is the WFI. Couldn't get connected unless you were up top or outside.

Carole is an awesome host. We had spotty Wifi in St Johns and difficulty receiving email about enterance to our stay. Carole promptly tried messaging and phoning to sort out the details. We arrived and settled without problems-Thank you Carole. We had a very comfortable sleep and excellent breakfast on the top floor. The house is an old Heritage site with Stories to tell. It felt special to be a part of this beautiful space. The area is quiet, yet close to downtown. It's a recommend for sure.

We enjoyed a glass of wine in our room but had to use paper cups. No glasses to be found.

I haven't actually met the staff in person, but everything was well organised for my arrival and during my stay. Breakfast was included but not available. However, they provided gift cards for the wonderful coffee shop next door and delicious warm croissants and cookies every morning. Location is great, room very cosy and clean.

Nothing to complain really

Lovely historical townhomes with great character and decor. The owner is a very astute business woman and of the utmost integrity. The views of the harbour and neighbourhood are picturesque! The location is perfect whether you are walking, driving or cycling and Metrobus stop directly in front of the property either side of the property.

The only thing I can point out is the current employee; definitely needs more attention to detail , answering and responding to guests calls. Very fortunately the owner was always available and immediately responded. It would be advisable to take the opportunity to learn from her employer. Good experience goes a long way in life.
