The Roses Heritage Inn

My wife Elizabeth and I are in St. John's for a week (August 18-24 2025) and have been staying at the Roses Heritage Inn for three nights so far, scheduled for three more. Our room "Ship's Cove" on the lowest level, has all the modern amenities. The decor is in keeping with the historic style of the building. Everything is clean and in good working order. The daily breakfasts are outstanding. Our car is parked across the street in a church parking lot for which we made a small donation. We are very comfortable and most satisfied.

We stayed here three nights. We got an enormous room with a large sitting area, and an ensuite bathroom. The building dates to the late 1800s and is quite quirky. We were comfortable here, and it is a good base from which to explore a wonderful city. It was about a 25 minute walk to George Street, less to Water Street. It has easy parking at the church lot across the street, which is a real plus in St. John's it appears. Breakfast is provided on the third floor by Norm, who cooks to order, and entertains for free.

The Roses Heritage Inn is such a delightful place to stay! I spent two nights here and really enjoyed it. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The room has AC for hot days, but it would be even better if there was a room darkening shade that could allow the window unit to run while blocking light for sleeping. My room had a charming view of St. Thomas Church across the road but was also right above a bus stop so there was noise later in the evening from the buses. I loved chatting with Norm the cook and fellow guests over the wonderful and hearty breakfast. The back deck also has a beautiful view. It's definitely a place worth staying at with lots of charm and history!

My sister and I enjoyed our stay. We selected this bed and breakfast for its walkable location, heritage home in a residential area and available breakfast in the morning so our day could start off gracefully. The home gave us an opportunity to live like a local and meet fellow travellers. Would visit here again.

Very comfortable stay in the heart of St. John’s! We stayed in one of the charming, colorful houses right in the center of town. The top floor serves as a dining area with coffee, desserts, and an incredible view of the harbour. The hot breakfast was amazing. The bed was very comfortable, and the room had both air conditioning and a fridge. Highly recommended!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Heritage Roses. The experience was truly unique, with a spacious room that felt both cozy and luxurious, and a bathroom that was an absolute dream—modern, spotless, and beautifully designed. The breakfast was a highlight, with delicious dishes prepared by a highly attentive chef who made us feel so welcome. We can’t wait to return!

Our stay at Roses Heritage Inn was great. Very comfortable accommodation with superb breakfasts provided. Norm was the chief cook. He is very accommodating and very personable. The location of the Inn is excellent and within walking distance of Water St, George St, and the harbour. All in all, a great place to stay in St. John’s.

We loved our stay! Cozy room and very quiet, even at night despite being near a busy intersection. The location was perfect and we could walk downtown in minutes. Breakfast was always amazing and we looked forward to our chats with Norman, the breakfast chef. And parking was never an issue. If we couldn’t park right out front on Military Rd, we could easily find a spot on a side street.
