After trying a number of other more expensive hotels, some with no parking we stumbled upon the Grand Saint John. On first appearances it didn't appear the most inviting but the rates were reasonable and the reception staff very helpful and spoke good English. The hotel has very secure off street parking, the rooms were large, recently refurbished and although... More

Simple, effective, great parking, nice rooms, friendly service. Well worth an overnight stop, good breakfast and easy walking distance to town centre. More

An easy walk from the train station and convenient to all tourist-y things. Apparently recently renovated, a good elevator and bigger than average bathroom with modern fixtures. Decent sized room, nicely decorated and clean. Most delightful were the front desk personnel who spoke English well and were helpful. Without boring you with details, I must emphasize that they went "above... More

Yes, honey, there's no shower curtain at the tub! So every time after a shower, we were succumbed to a self-guilt of having wet much of the bathroom. Being a conscientious person, we had to spend time mopping the floor afterward. The funny thing is that the rooms in this hotel are newly renovated, with sunny yellow color scheme on... More

We arrived early as the floor was being cleaned- (don't walk on the floor!) The staff did allow us to leave our bags and return for check in at 2. Although our bags were parked in front of an elevator, when we checked in, the desk informed us we were on the 3rd floor and pointed the way to the... More

Service: Very ordinary indeed. Not rude but nothing to speak of. Room: Relatively clean, basic, requires modernisation. Room on the small side even though there is very little furniture in it. It took a while to find a power socket too. There is the obvious one for the TV, which is at the top of the wall right under the... More

We booked a room well in advance for a one night stop-over in August 2008 as we were travelling back from South France by car. 2 Adults and 1 Child. Easy to find (thanks to Sat-Nav) - but wouldn't have been a problem anyway as the building is well-signed. A very helpful (and english-speaking) reception, large secure car park within... More

Walls were paper thin and the beds were too soft (and I'm no Goldilocks). However, the staff was friendly, the room was clean and had adequate amenities. We were lucky to find a room at all, since most of the town's hotel rooms were taken or had rates through the roof. All in all, for the price, the room was... More

Stayed one night in May 2007. Made reservations through website but felt a lot better by confirming arrangements by telephone. Front desk is open 24 hours. Room can get really stuffy if the windows are shut. It may be desirable to shut the windows if it gets windy outside and the shutters get slammed back and forth. There is no... More
