My partner and I were booked at The Battery Hotel in August 2008 for 4 nights. We checked in and checked out again in less than an hour. Actually, I think we lasted about 15 minutes, long enough to check the phonebook and book another hotel just down the hill and that cost us $20 more each night. The rug... more

Nothing can beat the view and location Yep its old but it was alright. food was alright,room shabby but clean the view of the harbor is beyond belief watching the lights and ships is magical the walk down the hill or up is fun more

It's unfortunate but there's a lot of truth in the negative press about The Battery Hotel & Suites. The onsite pub and restaurant are fine and give lovely views of St. John's but the accomodations are terrible. The building is dilapidated and requires a complete overhaul. The carpets are old and dingy in appearance, the paint colours are garish and... more

It has been a while since I stayed there, but I am baffled by these horrible reviews. Granted, it is not the newest hotel but I held my wedding there in 2008. Had dozens of guests stay there - not one complained about the accommodations. We stayed in the Honeymoon Suite and it was wonderful. Nice and Clean. Amazing view.... more

Abysmal doesn't even begin to describe The Battery Hotel and Suites. The location is great, on Signal Hill you are overlooking the city, it's not too far from downtown but still the hike up Duckworth and then Signal Hill Road is a bit inconvenient if you're looking to explore the downtown core on foot (specificially Water Street). As well, if... more

Steer clear from this hotel. I made the grave error of thinking that a smaller hotel in St. John's would provide me with a better flavour of the city. I couldn't be more wrong with this hotel. Dark, dingy rooms that makes you want to sleep with your shoes and jacket. A very poor representation of a beautiful city. On... more

My husband and I planned a very short little getaway over the Christmas holidays. We wanted to go to St. John's to visit some family and friends and were only going for 3 nights. I read all the negative reviews here and decided NOT to go to the Battery when our neighbour, a travelling salesman, told us that the Battery... more

You would think that a tourism property with such a rich history would make an effort to appease their visitors. The furniture, windows and other decor pieces were dirty in appearance; fingerprints, dust and smudges. The room was disgusting to say the least; hair on the toilet and tub, an empty liquor bottle on the floor. The entire staff gave... more

My experience at the Battery in St. John's, NL, was less than pleasant. When we got to our room we noticed the furniture was scratched, shabby and old and the room had a mouldy smell. We discovered the mouldy smell was coming from the bathroom, where there was black mould growing in the tile crevices. The floor in the bathroom... more
