What guests say
7.7 / 10 · Good on Booking.com, from 833 guest reviews
The Inn at St John is a budget-friendly, characterful historic property that wins guests over with its walkable location, complimentary breakfast, and old-world lobby charm. However, recurring complaints about worn bedding, uncomfortable beds, no elevator, and occasional maintenance lapses suggest upkeep has not kept pace with the building's appeal. It suits travellers who prioritise price and atmosphere over modern comfort.
