The Murray Premises Hotel

Front desk did not tell me that I had to walk a flight of stairs with my 50lb luggage. Had to go two floors to get ice. And the bath towel in the room looked like an old rag as it was all tattered. Pic available if needed

Great job of providing modern touches in a very old building. Noise travels through the walls but not surprising.

This property is beautiful. Each room is unique but all beautiful with rustic ceilings and beams. So close to all downtown areas and great that there’s free parking

St. John's was the last three nights of our 16-trip to Newfoundland. The Murray Premises is perfectly located for enjoying the city, right on the harbor. We walked to Water St and George St for entertainment and it was a 5-minute drive to Quidi Vidi and Signal Hill. The parking was great and it was easy to get to and from the hotel. The room was spectacular! We didn't spend much time in it, but it was everything we wanted and then some!

Great stay! Building is a little old, but has so much to offer. We loved the walkability and easy parking.

On arrival,it was a hot day, we were given room 408, furtherst room in hotel, had to go up 2 sets of stairs, and our room was very hot, AC had not been put on(7ppm) the building has wooden beams, and most rooms, very small window. We asked to change rooms, as we were staying 1 week. Had to pay for an up grade room, that night. but had 303,for rest of week. Our tub still had soap scum, from previous use,but did not use tub. Nice to have continental breakfast, just wish we had option to toast and microwave. Gets very boring after a few days. Nice to have coffee and tea available all day. Great location, free parking, and comfortable beds.Very good value

Only stayed one night before flying home. Good hotel in a good area

Lovely old place in its time, but now needs a painting and repair job. The signs are misleading as they say boutiques and restaurants, neither being true anymore. If you are on the 4th floor you have to walk up two flights of stairs dragging your suitcase and no offer of help ( we must look younger than our 75 years!) comfortable, decent breakfast, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone other than for the location.

Very convenient, easy to find. Staff are very friendly. Loved the jacuzzi tub after a long day of travel.

Do not stay at this hotel unless you plan to stay up until 4 am and sleep all day! Directly behind this hotel, a dozen bars and restaurants on Water and George streets blare music *outside* on the street, creating a cacophony that reverberates in and around Murray Premises until 3 am or later. We notified the hotel that we'd be arriving around 10 pm from our flight, and instead of saving us a room fit for weary travelers, we got the worst possible one: room 304 sits at eye and ear level with the back gate opening to the raucous party streets, funneling the sound waves straight into the window while the hotel's stone U shape creates an echo chamber to amplify the noise. We asked to change rooms but we're told the vacant rooms weren't clean - what type of hotel doesn't clean all rooms once guests leave for the day? Not only does that mean turning away any reservations that come in that evening, it also means you can't accommodate guests who want to SLEEP. We ended up leaving after 1 am and staying at another hotel 1km away, where it was blissfully silent. No refund of course.
