If anyone needs a place to stay in St.John’s, you cannot do better then The Alt!
Pros:

Location is amazing. View of the harbour was great.
Breakfast in the cafe was delightful - but crowded.
Lobby had a lovely feeling - very welcoming, very friendly and relaxed - very St. John’s

Cons:

I stayed in an accessible room with my mother who uses a walker.
The automatic door didn’t open as it should - which wasn’t a big deal since I was there to open and hold the door.

Okay
Pros:

The property was in a great location for exploring the downtown sights. Hotel was clean. Staff were wonderful!

Cons:

For me the room features and especially the various push buttons to access various room controls were unnecessary, not instinctive and often a frustration. It took 10 minutes to figure out how to get out of the bathroom! (I know, I’m old🙄). All in all, I never felt comfortable in the room.

Cons:

The room was very small for the price.
