Reviews of The Duckworth Inn describe a historic budget stay with friendly staff, comfortable beds, and generally clean rooms, alongside stairs‑only access and an old building that shows wear and ongoing repairs.
Many guests love the walkable downtown location near George Street, restaurants, and the waterfront. Recurring downsides include bar and street noise late at night, small rooms with thin walls, and inconsistent A/C, hot water, Wi‑Fi or TV. Self check‑in replaces a front desk, and parking is off‑site and paid. Expect a characterful, no‑frills stay best for travellers prioritizing location over amenities.

While overall convenient for an overnight option, not having an elevator really hindered our stay. Not sure if it was mentioned on the listing but it wasnt something we knew coming in. We ended up just taking our carry on luggage with us and leaving the suitcases in our rental car and packing for our journey back in the car. It got a bit noisy from streets below but it didnt impact our stay, just something else to be aware of.

Coded doors into the hotel so security excellent. We parked on the street for free after 6 pm until 8 am.

Parking garage across the street so need to factor into the cost. Nice atmosphere in a very old building and our room was lovely. Very convenient to downtown and walkable, tho some hills (like anywhere in St. John’s) and on major route to get out of town to see surrounding area. Lots of fairly steep stairs to access rooms so beware!

Excellent location, although drivers should note that the indoor parking across the street will cost $17 a day or more. Truly excellent housekeeping! Comfortable bed, good shower although water will take a couple of minutes' running to heat up. Room was initially quite cold, but the Honeywell switch warmed it up nicely. Be aware if stairs are an issue, it wasn't a problem for me. Mere steps from the Duke of Duckworth pub, possibly the best fish & chips in Canada! Also close to The Ship pub. Good accommodations for the price, I could stay here again in future.

The boutique like hotel is situated in an old building and reminded me of a small European hotel, although the room was more spacious than a European hotel. It does not have A/C but has a window installed fan. Wi-Fi was fast. Hotel entry used a keypad system so we never saw a clerk, just the cleaning people. Loved it!

We are a very low maintenance couple when it comes to travel, and while the location of this hotel is SO convenient, it was definitely not worth the money. The walls are paper thin. We were awoken to a someone screaming followed by vomiting violently in the room next to us at 3am. I understand this is not the hotel’s fault- just something to be aware of if you are a light sleeper. The room itself had a very musty smell and the sheets/comforter and pillow cases themselves smelled like body odor. We also found hairs in our sheets. The toilet constantly tried to refill throughout the night. Overall just a noisy, smelly, unpleasant experience I rarely write negative reviews but this room, while cheap and found in a gorgeous older building in the prime location , was definitely not worth what we paid. We will not be returning.

Incredibly comfortable, spacious, and clean with all the amenities you need. The property is a charming old building and very conveniently located to restaurants and pubs; easy walk to the waterfront and The Rooms museum. The king size bed was so comfortable I ended up sleeping most of the first day because I didn’t want to leave it. The staff was wonderful. I would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Overall a quaint stay, and the room and lobby areas were decently clean. However, it did get a little hot in the room sometimes because there was no AC. The mini fridge had leftover beer bottles probably left by the previous guest, and there was no water provided for me. I found a small cockroach in the bathroom but was able to deal with it without much fuss. What I disliked the most was the hotel’s refusal to store my bags for a bit after check-out (a common courtesy that is maintained at most places) so I could explore the city one last time before my flight.

The room was reasonably clean but the carpet hall inside the door was disgusting/filthy. No instructions on use of window air conditioning and dials were impossible to read. No hint on what stations were available and TV was marginal. Bed was adequate. An old building that reeks of it’s age and needed updating.

The bed was very comfortable. The air condition was a welcome treat. The bar of soap on the bathtub ledge left by the previous guest makes me question how well the shower was cleaned. Power sources were well hidden, maybe a power bar would be a good addition. Very tiny television screen. One broken chair.

Disappointing Experience - Inflexible Cancellation Policy I\'m extremely disappointed with the hotel\'s refusal to provide a refund or accommodate changes to my booking due to unforeseen circumstances. With the ferry cancellation caused by a hurricane, my trip was canceled just 2 days before arrival. Despite my efforts to request a partial refund or transfer my dates, the hotel rigidly adhered to their policy, leaving me with a $300 loss. Unfortunately, I can\'t comment on the hotel\'s quality since I never got to check in. However, I wish they would consider exceptions for extreme weather conditions or transportation cancellations. A more flexible approach would have made a significant difference in this situation. As it stands, I\'m left feeling frustrated and unreimbursed."

I've stayed here many times and love it. You couldn't be in a better location, easy walking distance to the major hotels and the George Street night life. While there is no front desk, the keypad system on the front door and room assignment on an interior door works just fine. The staff are friendly and helpful. On this particular visit, Mark and Josephine could not have been better. Kudos. I recommend this place highly.

Central and very walkable to George Street, Water Street, and the waterfront, ideal for dining and nightlife. The trade‑off is potential late‑night noise for rooms near bars or the street.

Fun place to stay. Would recommend hotel finish with drywall repairs in rooms. Shower in one of our rooms was too small! Excellent food in restaurant and bar. Very nice staff.

The building is 100 years old so it shows character. The room was clean and the restaurant/bar was great. Would definitely recommend and will stay here again.

Rooms were clean. Nice staff. Location is central, walkable area to any old town spots, restaurants and pubs. Hotel is old and needs renovation. Restaurant on site brings some smell and noise to rooms on first and second floor.

Check in was not typical but it worked very well. The large tiled shower was awesome. The bedding was very comfortable. The lights over the sink didn’t work. A second bedside lamp would be helpful for couples. The entry door was very squeaky and hard to close. I left very early each day any knew I was probably waking other guests. Nice bar and restaurant on the first floor and downstairs. There’s a really fun bar next door.

I love that it was centrally located and it was in a charming older building. It’s an ole dame and shows her age but my room (and I imagine all of the rooms) was tastefully updated with all the things you need. The bed was lovely and soft but as I like a firmer bed, it was a little challenging. That however is a personal thing and doesn’t reflect on the Duckworth. As I didn’t interact with any staff due to the very clear instructions, my rating is neutral in this area.

It’s kind of a blend between a hotel, a B&B, and…not sure what. Awesome location, and the restaurant and bar deserve six stars at least. But some rooms share bathrooms, and our room (which didn’t) felt partially completed. If you’re prepared for that, it’s awesome. We stay there again, just for the food and bar!!
