Alt Hotel St. John's

“Definitely Coming Back”

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Alt Hotel St John's NFLD, May 15th for 2 nights. Room 428 was the base of operations. The room had what is called a panoramic view and offered a spectacular view of not only the harbor but, weather permitting, Signal Hill. The Alt is right on the water front: any closer and you'd be in the water. While there are other properties offering a harbor view room, this usually comes with other buildings in the way. The hotel offers a restaurant but be sure to get there before 10 pm as he kitchen closes at that time. There is a coffee shop close to the check in counter. If its sunny, have your coffee on the patio. Pubs and restaurants are nearby as is George Street, about a 15 min walk away. The rooms at the Alt tend to be somewhat tight but just how much do you spend in your room when you should be out exploring. Cape Spear, the furthest most point in North America is a quick 15 minutes away. This was my first time touring Newfoundland and was gobsmacked by the raw beauty. I plan to come back again and will definately stay at the Alt.

“Great stay”

Great stay. Nice hotel with very engaged staff. Good location

“Modern, Clean and Great Value”

Alt Hotel was a spectacular stay. Fast check-in, modern hotel, great communication, very clean, and excellent service. Reasonable underground parking at $13 per day, and it’s centrally located so you can easily walk to all the pubs and restaurants, although they also have a great coffee shop in the… more

Alt Hotel was a spectacular stay. Fast check-in, modern hotel, great communication, very clean, and excellent service. Reasonable underground parking at $13 per day, and it’s centrally located so you can easily walk to all the pubs and restaurants, although they also have a great coffee shop in the lobby. We upgraded to a waterfront view, which was nice for watching the ships come in and out. The layout of the harbor means the hotels are set back from the dock, so while it’s a harbor view and not right on the water, the views are still very good. Would definitely stay there again when in St. John’s.

We stayed here for five nights at the start of an almost three-week trip touring Newfoundland. We were originally due to stay for four nights but our flights got changed so we had to tag on another night. The hotel was nice and modern and the reception staff were pleasant and helpful. We had a city view room which could be a little noisy at times with traffic but overall, this didn’t bother us too much. The bed was comfortable and bathroom well laid out with a small bench too. The puffin on the glass wall was a cute touch. The room had a coffee maker but as we weren’t coffee drinkers we requested a kettle. We also requested a small fridge which was super helpful. We didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment on the hotel restaurant. We had a couple of good breakfasts at the Bagel Café though - a two-minute walk away. We found the location of the hotel worked well for us. With a short walk to main tourist areas on Water Street and to the harbour (to catch a whale watching boat tour). The hotel was also well placed for walking up Signal Hill.
