Take in the grandeur of Basilica Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. Go to a mass if you can or simply take a seat and appreciate the tranquility.

Basilica Cathedral of St. John the Baptist is an interesting place to begin discovering Downtown St. John's. This principal church comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other sights like Memorial University of Newfoundland, The Rooms, and Avalon Mall to get a complete picture of what's on offer in the area.

Property is a bit old and worn, but staff was friendly, and there are nice walks around two lakes near by.

Charming restored property convenient to shopping, dining, The Rooms museum and Signal Hill. Our accommodation was lovely, full of character and quite roomy. My only complaint is that noise from outside and other rooms was occasionally loud, even late at night.
