Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The hotel was in walking distance to all the “must see” points of interest in Charlottetown. The location was perfect. The period decor matched the ambiance of the history of the house and the 19th century builder/residents. The current owners were hospitable and friendly.
Our bedroom, located in the original part of the house was spacious and nicely decorated. The only drawback was that the air conditioning speeds could not be adjusted.

建物がオシャレで趣きがあった。スタッフも親切だった。
朝食美味しいけど、4日間毎日同じだった。
Loved our stay
Fabulous place - really quirky decor - very good breakfast- very central
Location is excellent, about a 10 minute walk from downtown, the art and performance centers. Room was large and very comfortable. Bathroom and tub with jets were great. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Off street parking. Breakfast was good with hot and cold choices, plus non-dairy option. Coffee and juice was excellent. Lovely interior with antique decorations and also a comfortable sitting room. Overall a great place and would not hesitate to return.
Nothing. Just be aware that it is an older historic building and there is no elevator.
Great location and size of room
Mattress was not comfortable.
The host was welcoming. The whole place was charming, quaint but comfortable, and thoughtfully decorated for a historic building. The location was quiet, but easy walk downtown. Breakfasts were really good; buffet style hot and cold food and unlimited coffee or tea etc. Free parking on site.
The bed was a small double just about big enough for two. It was very high, and I was quite anxious about rolling out in my sleep! The other side had steps to get in. The mattress was very bouncy if either of us moved or got up in the night. The bedside table on my side was quite tiny, and I need room to put "stuff" these days. The bathroom was minimal. No space for toiletries bags. The toilet seat was loose and as the floor was slightly slanted, the seat tended to slip when sat upon. I wouldn't want to stay in that room again, but would try a larger one.
Un bel hôtel a un emplacement parfait tout proche du centre ville.

Breakfast was great.
It would have been helpful to have more outlets near the bed to plug in our phones.
Great location comfy beds

Die allgemeine Ausstattung des Hauses war super. Das Frühstück war sehr gut und lecker. Das Personal könnte nicht freundlicher sein. Es blieb kein Wunsch offen.
Great hosts! The breakfast was really good with hot & cold options! We arrived a day early & the hosts were most accommodating!
Great location and the house itself was awesome - lots of antiques and character. Our host Jason was super friendly and gave great restaurant recommendations.

The host was very friendly and helped answer questions. Breakfast was great, a good variety of food. Available coffee/tea whenever you wanted it. Great location. Great history. Our favorite in during our vacation. We had the apartment downstairs and it was so nice to be able to move and stretch out!!
Nothing. Everything was fantastic.
Great location
Hôte très accueillant et sympatique. Bon déjeuner. Bien situé. Endroit calme.
We loved this charming bed and breakfast, as well as the thoughtful staff! The coffee room and breakfast buffet were lovely!
Heavily scented bed linens went out of fashion MANY years ago. Nobody does that anymore. It was physically impossible to stay in the room due to that plus an overwhelming use of Fabreze or something similar - it smelled like the place had just been fumigated for an infestation of some sort. The suggestion that the comment section of the booking could have been used to note an allergy to overpowering smells is ridiculous - THEY should be advertising the use of excessive scents as a warning, expecting customers to anticipate that.
Jason was a great host.
Homely.
Great location close to centre of town. Wholesome breakfast. Luggage storage facility before and after our stay were appreciated.
Very central, lovely building, friendly staff
Tout ,et surtout l'emplacement.tres bien situé au centre-ville., bon petit déjeuner.
Aucun.
The Inn is a beautiful building very close to the centre. The owners are amazing and go out of their way to help in every way possible. We had a lovely stay
Everything was amazing
The staff were excellent and the breakfast delicious
Great location. Large room and comfortable bed
Breakfast was good but was exactly the same everyday. Ok if you are only staying 1 night but a bit monotonous for 3 days
Great location, welcoming hosts, clean and quiet.
No drinking glasses in the room
Breakfast buffet was tasty and nicely presented. Adequate in amount and variety.
Towel exchange could have been more frequent.
The breakfast was tasty. The bed was comfortable, but small. It was a double size rather than a queen. The shared living room was very nice with comfortable chairs and tables. The location was very convenient to downtown.
Great location, so walkable, great hosts.
Nothing.
La posizione centrale, il parcheggio, la dimensione della casa (enorme!)
Colazione un po’ essenziale
早餐很丰富,员工的服务很好,氛围很亲切!餐厅及接待大厅的陈列很美!
继续保持现有的服务水准
Close proximity to all the restaurants and bars downtown
Quiet neighborhood but people coming in late can make noise on the stairs and sit outside on your balcony smoking or making phone calls. Would book again but opt for the upper floors
Close to downtown and our room was clean and comfortable
Room was really nice, great location - breakfast excellent — and staff were so nice !!
Nothing
Convenient location, clean, everything we needed was available.
Comfy bed and good shower. Good breakfast. Good location for the racetrack.
Not keen on steps.
Close to downtown, character, awesome breakfast
Pull out sofa bed wasn’t the most comfortable, could use a new mattress
Beautifully decorated Inn within the city with lots of shopping and places to eat at your door step. Breakfast was declicous and plentiful. Staff was very friendly
We were in the larger apartment downstairs. It was very nicely appointed and quite comfortable.
A beautiful place with a very helpful and welcoming host.
Stationnement gratuit compte tenu de la proximité du centre-ville.
Tout était parfait
Grande chambre et confortable
Prix élevé
Wow quel endroit charmant. Petit déjeuner excellent. C' est magnifique comme endroit et super bien situé au centre ville. Je recommande +++
Location, breakfast was included, we could use the washing machine
Breakfast was pretty basic
Loved staying! The staff were so lovely! Breakfast was great! Rooms were so comfortable and our wad huge compared to some we've stayed in!
Nothing.
Tout était impeccable! Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le petit lit supplémentaire pour accommoder la famille et l'emplacement exceptionnel dans la ville.
Le petit déjeuner était parfait. La qualité de la nourriture était excellente. Rien à redire côté nourriture. Très bel endroit.
Le rapport qualité/prix. J'ai trouvé que c'était excessivement dispendieux comparativement à tous les endroits que nous avons visités lors de notre voyage.
L’emplacement est génial
Lovely historic inn located in the heart of downtown Charlottetown
House was beautiful, room was large, staff was very nice
The staff were friendly and very accommodating.
It's an old Victorian building with very little soundproofing between rooms. Consequently, not a good nights sleep which was not mgt problem. The family in the room above us had kids who played and ran around until midnight.
Spacious room, plenty of closet space. We'll staffed
Beautiful property perfectly located. Wonderful host, comfortable room with all the pillows and blankets you could ever want.
L'emplacement pres de tout. La gentillesse du responsable et la beauté de l'endroit.
Rien tout est parfait
Tres bel endroit avec un historique de la ville de par son proriétaire original. Fort interessant. Tres bien situé
La formule B&B habituellement veut dire que les hôtes vont faire le petit dejeuner et le servir aux invités, un buffet est un autre style quoi que très bon, ça enlève a la formule d’origine.
Beautiful and wonderful place, and the owner, lovely guy! Would come again.
Couch was a little uncomfortable, not terrible though
The Inn was well maintained, comfortable and clean. It was in an excellent location and I was able to walk to various restaurants and cafes. I also appreciated ample free parking.
Tout était parfait, grande chambre propre, super bien situé, petit déjeuner suffisant.
Il manquait de variété dans les fruits frais
Belle place, bien situé, bon déjeuner, bien accueilli. Merci
Suggestions ,une borne électrique pour les voitures dans le stationnement aurait été parfait.
Well located within walking distance to amenities.
Old dusty memorabilia around… bedding covers were a bit dusty, the location doesn’t describe the fact that there isn’t an elevator, we had lots of luggage and needed to drag it up old dusty carpeted steps. . Breakfast was eatable however a bit industrial.
La décoration, la gentillesse de notre hôte, le petit déjeuner
Un frigo dans la chambre aurait été bien.
Le petit balcon
Chaleureux, propre et bien situé

Very clean and homey
Beautiful property in the heart of Charlottetown. Easy walk to great restaurants and downtown attractions.
Près des activités, stationnement facile, bon petit déjeuner buffet
Le matelas est inconfortable
Nice historic home.
Suite with separate entrance did not detail it was in a basement upon initial booking. That should have been clear. For the 300.00 a night sleeping in a basement was not worth it. Bacon was overcooked & tater tots mushy. The area the home was in was sketchy and felt unsafe to walk around. Maybe it was the creackheads down the street that offset the atmosphere.
Central, parking included, charming rooms, nice breakfast
Old and cosy
Nothing
This is an exceptional property. The host was very friendly and helpful. Our breakfast was very nice.
Breakfast was amazing! So many choices! The facility was so unique. Beautiful antique furniture. Very clean and our host was friendly and accommodating. Location was perfect. Will definitely stay here again!
Not a thing.
Lovely house. Very pleasant staff. Decent breakfast. Good off-road Parking.
Terrible bed and no blackout blind or curtains!! The downstairs room has an extremely narrow 4ft double bed providing a very poor night’s sleep for two people - it’s far too narrow, too high and too soft! A bigger modern double bed is now required, it’s no longer 1929! To add insult to injury, just to finish you off, the room filled with the light at 5:20am as there were no blackout curtains! Stayed two nights and we were exhausted!
Place de parking Emplacement de l établissement Le petit dejeuner
Ambiance chaleureux soucieux détails et d'une propreté exceptionnelle et déjeuner très savoureux
Very close to downtown
The breakfast was great, the atmosphere was good and staff were welcoming.
There was a perfume smell in the room. The AC didn’t keep the temperature in the room regulated. There was a humming noise from outside that we could not determine where it was coming from that kept us up. There was also an air pocket that formed on the bed when you sat on it that made it uncomfortable.
Très bel établissement, notre chambre était exceptionnel, tout l’établissement l’est. Très bon déjeuner, beaucoup de décoration d’époque un peu partout. Très beau

Pillows too high for my wife
Excellent location, off street parking, lovely heritage building, large room, great breakfast.
C’est charmant et confortable
Too small rooms. Not enough facilities
The property was in an excellent location and was full of character. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We wound certainly stay again!
Nothing!
Friendly and accommodating owners, generous buffet breakfast
Very nice owner. Everything was immaculately prepared for us.
Cleaner than clean!! Jason, the host, is very friendly and accommodating.
Only tiny complaint was a very noisy AC machine, but it did the job and we were comfortable on a very warm night
I like that it was historic and Victorian looking. The owners were very pleasant and helpful. It was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good and plentiful. It was also easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. The street was quiet at night for sleeping.
I liked everything but I would suggest leaving more than 1 towel per person since the towels didn’t dry well overnight.
The age of the property and quaintness of the decor. Suite was very comfortable!
Some areas of the suite seemed like they could use some updating (e.g. wall paint)
Jason was exceptional throughout our stay. Friendly, helpful, hardworking. Always smiling! The Shipwright felt like a home from home. We particularly loved the hot and cold drinks station and access to fridges. Perfect for making an iced coffee on a hot day.
There was nothing we didn't like.
Great location. Good bed . Very comfortable . Excellent breakfast
Nothing
Quaint inn a short walk to downtown. Parking on site. Decorated in nautical theme which was fitting. Very clean bedroom/washroom. Comfortable bed. Great host, very welcoming. Jason served a delicious hot breakfast buffet. Coffee/tea available 24/7. Living room was open to relax and read a book.
I came to PEI for a one-week vacation to cycle and visit historical sites. The Shipwright Inn was perfect! It is really close to the central area of Charlottetown but without the noise and traffic that sometimes accompanies hotels that are situated downtown. The breakfast was delicious, my room was spacious, clean and well-appointed, and the staff were very attentive and friendly (I enjoyed discussing my day excursions with the owner). I really appreciated how accommodating they were, allowing me to store my bicycle in their shed. The hotel also has quite a great deal of historical charm. Highly recommended!
The Inn is so charming with rooms to sit and read or have a cup of tea. Our room with two twin beds was spacious—bigger than a standard hotel room. The location was excellent. We were within walking distance to the downtown area.
The Shipwright is a great old school B&B. It's a very well-maintained building, fully decorated with antique and local pieces, and comfortable rooms and thoughtful amenities. We were in Door 1 and had a convenient communal fridge and microwave for our use.
Nothing really.
On-site parking. Excellent location close to the historic centre, restaurants and bars. Excellent breakfast with good choice. Room was large and comfortable.
Not much sound proofing between rooms.
Really enjoyed the breakfasts. Everything was replenished regularly. Staff were very pleasant. Hotel was very clean.
Breakfast and location both excellent
Nothing
Our location was convenient, our large basement apartment was very comfortable and we liked having a kitchen. Breakfast was very good and Jason was friendly and kind.
No complaints at all!
