I booked my accommodations based on what was advertised. I thought I was booking a room with a bedroom and a separate front room and kitchen but all I got was a bedroom in a townhouse. Unbeknownst to me there are 4 bedrooms in the house that are rented out but you do not have access to the kitchen or living room unless you rent the entire house. I think that should be clearly specified when making a reservation. The website should be very clear on what you are getting. My room is tiny with a small fridge and coffee maker but no microwave. Had I known I never would have stayed in this tiny room. I could have been in a nice large hotel room with more amenities. There is no continental breakfast due to Covid which should also have been brought to my attention. I am glad I am only here for a couple nights. I would never recommend this tiny closet of a room to anyone.…
I have gone back and forth on whether to write this review but as the window closes on the time remaining to submit it the fact that it is still on my mind tells me that I should. When checking out of this property the young lady at the desk asked me my name. Upon saying my name, she replied that she ‘never would have gotten it because she’s just a born and bred Newfie’ and therefore ‘could never be smart enough to wrap her head around the pronunciation’. As someone originally from the Canadian East Coast I was appalled by this comment. I don’t think this individual appreciates how hard Newfoundlanders have worked to overcome the stereotypes and derogatory terms such as ‘Newfie’ sometimes associated with the Province. When visiting Newfoundland, I never expected to meet an individual who displayed such a lack of confidence and showed so little pride in their identity. Least of all in a place that should be promoting Newfoundland. This is one of my most disappointing stays ever. Right here in my own country. I still have a hard time wrapping my head around that encounter.…
Had a lovely stay here in October 2019. Lovely clean and well presented room, about ten minutes' walk from downtown which was great. Also close to Signal Hill. A great spot to explore the city from. Staff very friendly and helpful.
We stayed for 1 night and then moved to another hotel in the city. The room we had was at ground level where the window would not open and the blind covered the window air conditioner. It did not feel safe. We could not park in the driveway as it is first come first serve. Ended up on the hill and walking. My father who is 90 had to stay on the top floor after walking 3 sets of stairs. Staff was very friendly. not recommended for faint of heart.
Stayed here for two nights. Room was very nice and clean and staff were very friendly. We were on the 3rd floor and carrying suitcases up and down can be tricky, Also parking was next to impossible, if you have any trouble walking this place is not for you. Up quite a hill. Breakfast was good, coffee was great.
This hotel has good free breakfast and clean rooms but not enough parking for the residence. Residents are told to park on corners and on a steep side street. Another drawback is that every room has one queen bed with no varieties. Between the rooms are sleeper sofa is that cannot be used probably for insurance reasons. That’s a shame!
We really enjoyed our stay at Hometel. Nice, clean spacious room, very quiet. Friendly and helpful front desk staff. It's a bit of a hike to the party scene on George St. but some nice places to dine along Duckworth. I will return!
Great hotel, walking distance to St. Johns downtown, bars and also signal hill. Do note that it is in a townhouse and you can hear others in the same town house unit but great location! Rooms are clean and great continental breakfast
Stayed here a couple of nights, lovely big bedroom, lounge room with microwave, kettle and coffee machine and en suite . Rooms and communal area were immaculate and hotel owner couldn’t be more helpful. Situated at the base of signal hill within easy walk of amenities.would be a good place for families as nice big lounge to give space.
I was travelling solo and was able to upgrade from a 3rd floor room to a ground floor suite at no extra cost. Everyone at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The only glitch was, when asking for directions to drive to Twillingate, the person told me to take the Trans Canada going East. It was West I needed to go.
