Sleeping
Scores of B&Bs offer a place to rest your head in the heart of St John's; they're usually
better value than the hotels and motels. They fill fast, so book ahead. Many have a two-
night minimum stay requirement. The ones listed here all serve a hot breakfast. The
city's 17% tax is not included in prices listed here. Parking is available at or near all ac-
commodations.
HI St John's
HOSTEL $
( 709-754-4789;
www.hihostels.ca
; 8 Gower St; dm $28-33, r $75-89; )
It's everything
a good hostel should be: well located near the action, spic 'n' span facilities, not too big
(16 beds in all), and helpful. A whiteboard lists everything of interest happening in town
each day. The hostel also books reasonably priced tours.
Chef's Inn
B&B $$$
( 709-753-3180, 877-753-3180;

; 29 Gower St; r $140-170; )

chef Todd Perrin owns this snug B&B, and his parents run it. The four rooms are done up
in modern, minimalist decor, and each has an en suite bathroom. As you might expect,
breakfast is a hearty feed with house-cured bacon and herbs from the garden.
Balmoral House
B&B $$$
( 877-428-1055, 709-754-5721;
www.balmoralhouse.com
;
38 Queen's Rd; r $129-209; )
While the Balmoral is a typical B&B in many ways (cherub statues, long wooden antique
tables), its owners live off-site and breakfast is self-serve, so it's more relaxed and
private than many B&Bs. The beds are bestowed with super-comfy mattresses.
Abba Inn
B&B $$$
( 800-563-3959, 709-754-0058;
www.abbainn.com
;
36 Queen's Rd; r $139-189; )
The Abba shares the same building as the Balmoral, and it even shares reservations (ie if
one is full, it'll hook you up with the other). Both B&Bs have similar amenities and am-
bience. If Abba is full, the owner also has nearby Gower House, which is comparable.
