Located in the heart of Downtown St. John's NL, within easy walking distance to George Street in one direction and to Signal Hill in the other direction. Up the hill and across Water Street is the Crow's Nest, and down the hill is the waterfront/harbour. Fantastic location
You'd be impressed as soon as you walk in, the view of the harbour entrance is great. There is a self-serve coffee/tea/water station, an optional cash shop for their Alt Hotel brand of shampoo/gel/lotion, a complimentary office workstation with printer, plus an assortment of sofas, lounge chairs and bar chairs. The main floor also has a suite of reconfigurable conference rooms and smaller meeting rooms
The rooms are amazing! All the apparatus in the rooms are touchscreen activated. Don't be alarmed that the curtains seem worryingly see-through, just go to the touchscreen controls and lower the blinds. Stand-alone shower, nil bathtubs. There's an ironing board and iron. You get a Keurig with 4x kcups (1x tea, 1x decaf, 2x regular coffee) The double-sized bed is comfy with four enormous pillows. There's an ice machine on the third floor only
The continental breakfast is a cold breakfast.... when I was there 17-21 Jul 18, they had an assortment of pastries, apples, bananas, cheerios and raisin brans, plus the usual coffee/decaf/tea/milk/orange juice. If you want anything hot (even if it's just toast), you'll want to head out for a hot breakfast
Last but not least, the hotel staff are awesome. Would definitely choose to stay here again! read more
