Very central to the city. Eco friendly. Clean. Room and bathroom incredibly small but effectively organized and efficient. Takes some time to figure out the lights and air conditioning. Found it quite stupid that the bathroom door didn’t have a handle. Arrived at 11:45 pm - staff at the desk wasn’t very friendly.

We were impressed with the kind reception desk welcome (especially Bailey), the comfortable lounge area, the soundproofing in the room, the extremely comfy pillows and mattresses, the great view of the river, the recycling program, the proximity of walking to downtown shops and restaurants, and being able to borrow an umbrella at the desk. Negatives: not having hot water for a shower and/or washing hair on the morning we left. Also, the in-hotel restaurant Terre was way over our budget. We had a great meal we could afford at the 24-hour Celtic Heart Irish pub a 10-min walk down Water Street. Overall we did enjoy this Alt hotel and I’d reserve again as long as I knew the water temp in the shower would be tolerable.

This is such a beautiful Hotel… right on the Harbour. We upgraded and had an amazing view of the harbour and Signal Hill.. the staff are very helpful and very friendly. Super comfy bed.. we had a King bed! Very modern hotel with light switches and curtains control right at your fingertips! I would definitely recommend this Hotel when staying in St. John’s walking distance to everything! They have picnic tables and Muskoka chairs facing the Harbour… great for evenings after a long day of sightseeing, relaxing and watching the ships go by with a nice glass of vine! (Which we pruchased at the location Liquor store)highly recommend this hotel
