St Christopher's Hotel

What guests think

Across recent reviews, St Christopher's Hotel is praised for its unbeatable convenience to the ferry and scenic harbour views, generally clean, comfortable rooms, and friendly, efficient staff, while notes of dated areas, intermittent maintenance issues, and uneven dining service appear.

It suits simple one-night stopovers for travelers in transit. Food is often well liked and reasonably priced, but service can be slow or short-staffed and hours may be early. Expect a practical, no-frills stay.

St. Christopher's is high on top of the mountain with half the rooms facing out toward the ocean and the Ferry terminal / port. Lovely and scenic. Unfortunately there is no continental breakfast.

Convenient, lots of parking. Restaurant food was barely passable: They do not serve milk or cream with coffee, only Coffee Mate, on jam with your toast, the kitchen couldn't make "over easy" eggs, they were crispy. The entire establishment, given they have a captive client base at the ferry terminal, should have been upgraded awhile back...bed looked "tired" and TV was smaller than some computer monitors. The staff tried hard and the waitress who met us at the door to the restaurant was apologetic for being understaffed.

The place was clean but the shower was clogged. No frills but acceptable for the one night we were there. Restaurant was not very good (side of vegetables seemed like microwaved frozen vegetables and fish was mushy). Staff was not as friendly as we had come to expect from our 4 week travels through Newfoundland.

One area that could approve is the dining room. The manager in charge (aLady) needs a customer service course. She was rude to us and when another couple arrived she was rude to them. She even took it one step further, we were sitting at the table closest to the computer where u enter the meal. A male server who appeared to be new told her the couple he was serving wanted gravy and how do I renter their request into the computer. This was the couple who came in after us who she was extremely rude to. Anyway she looked to see who he was serving and told him to tell them “we have no gravy I am not giving them any”. She should either be given a customer service course or fired. One extremely rude individual.

The property was a very convenient place as we were getting the ferry the next morning. The check-in line was quite long (as a ferry had just unloaded), but the two staff at the counter were very efficient and it didn’t take long. Our only issue was with the restaurant. There was one server who was rude when we arrived and threw our cutlery and menus on the table when we were seated. Luckily, another server served us for the remainder of the meal and she was much nicer.

Dining room service was questionable. Staff were busy talking to each other though there were only two other diners. We had to request staff to take our orders, and there was no topping up of coffee unless requested.
