The hotel rooms here were a little smaller than most, but were well designed and mostly clean. We did find a bobby pin on the floor when we arrived which was only an issue because we have a small baby. The staff were super friendly, and the coffee shop on site was a huge hit. They supplied a nice, sturdy crib for our little one which was really nice to not have to build anything when we arrived after a long day of travel.

Asked to switch rooms upon walking into the one assigned as we preferred a bathtub instead of a stand alone shower. Beautiful and modern place to stay. Very friendly staff.

This is my “go to” accommodation is St. John’s. The service is personable and professional and the coffee bar downstairs is super convenient for the morning Java run. Scones are exceptional. Rooms are comfortable, clean and usually quiet.

This is my 2nd trip to St. Johns and first to Alt. The staff, specifically, Natalia, went above and beyond for me. From check in to checking out, every staff member said hello and asked if i needed anything. Exceptional, updated, modern, clean and quiet room. The view of the harbour was so relaxing after a long day. The people of Alt and Newfoundland have won my heart.
