We found this little gem of a place because we didn't want to stay at the corporate chain hotel where our conference was. Blue on Water was cheaper, the room was bigger and the location was better. It doesn't look like much from the outside, and even the hallways seem a little stale, but the rooms are beautiful. Huge showers... More

Like others who have taken the time to write a review, I would have to concur that the food and management are not very good. We went for lunch so I can't say anything about the hotel. The restaurant was empty when many others were packed which was the first bad sign. The waitress seemed friendly at first but when... More

I did not stay at Blue, as I am a resident of St. John's, but dined in the restaurant. I enjoyed the food but thought the service was not up to par. Disappointed since I heard so many great things about this restaurant.

I stayed at Blue for about 5 days in August 2011. I was really suprised at the size and quality of the room. It was great. A large living space with a very nice couch and comfortable bed. I didn't want to leave. I was on the 2nd floor right above the entrance and it was a bit loud from... More

Had booked room 303, arrived at about 12 noon. Was happy to drop my bags and wait for room to be finished but they made great effort to book me into room 301. Saw the room - did not want it. 301 is overlooking Water Street, windows don't close properly. Water Street is the main drag and party went on... More

We found this hotel on our way back from being up north and absolutely love it. We spent our first couple of nights at the courtyard by Marriott and for the same price got a much bigger room, a real king sized bed instead of the small double at the courtyard, and a much better location, here at blue on...

My wife wanted to surprise me with wonderful accomodations in Newfoundland for our vacation and were very disppointed at this Hotel, the Hotel looks from the outside like a dump, the parking is a block away from the Hotel and you have to carry your luggage through some construction site, reception desk is the Bar, the elevator is a service...

My husband and I just stayed at Blue on Water with another couple and couldn't have asked for better! The location is amazing, close to shopping, pubs, George Street and the waterfront. The staff is wonderful, very friendly and accommodating. The room was cleaned very well everyday and rooms are very nicely decorated. The beds are comfy too! One note,... More
