The hotel needs renovations. The biggest issue was room cleaning around bathroom counter and coffee/fridge area in room. Wifi was not included unless you paid or joined their rewards program. Joining the program was difficult. However the front desk offered a code without charge. The furnishings in the room are tired. The issues were noted by management in particular room cleaning. Some compensation was given for the stay.

Goo d Day B3883NSdonnad,


I believe you have the wrong hotel. The DoubleTree St. John's went through a complete renovation approximately 2 years ago. We offer complementary WIFI to all of our guests with the option to upgrade with a fee. The furnishings in the guest rooms were replaced when the hotel went through the renovations.

Easy walking distance to downtown and to see all the Jellybean (Coloured) Row Houses. Views of the working harbour were great too!! The people hear were so so friendly and chatty. Loved visiting St John's

We stayed here for a weekend in September and we loved the location. It is walking distance to Water street and George street with all their restaurants and bars. Easy to get to if you are driving from anywhere in Newfoundland into St Johns.
We are Hilton Diamond members and we chose this hotel for its location. Unfortunately our room was not the greatest and it was less than desirable , but everything else was fully booked during our stay so we had no other choice. Despite this, the front desk staff and Customer Service manager (Gary) did their best to make our stay pleasant.
The restaurant has great views of the port of St John's and Signal Hill, with great choices for breakfast and dinner.
The rooms are spacious and newly decorated with a Marine theme, very appropriate for the area.
We will go back, but will make sure we are not booked on that same room again!

I was underwhelmed by this hotel. They’re not cleaning rooms daily—only after 4 days. One of my biggest hotel pet peeves is the movement toward not cleaning rooms. I love having my room cleaned every day. If my room isn’t being cleaned daily, why wouldn’t I just stay at an Airbnb? Upon double-checking, it is noted toward the bottom of the website. Yes, they’ll clean upon request, but that’s a pain. And you run out of clean cups, tea, etc so you’re always tracking someone down. Also the rooms aren’t set up for intermittent cleaning. The trash and recycling are far too small, so we ended up with piles of it beside the trash can for our 5 day stay. All that said, even when we called down for supplies, and they said they’d bring them, they didn’t. But the front desk did hand us supplies when we went down. …Update—they didn’t even clean after four days! Called the front desk, they said they didn’t know how that happened. They apologized, but still the room is dirty. I also feel like the manager is going to say I should have told them. I did tell the front desk—I called, I went down. Lots of very nice apologies, no actual solutions.

The staff was fine but not great (except Amanda—she was so nice and helpful!)
Beds were good. The windows open which is nice. Room decor is lovely. Location is fantastic. You can walk almost anywhere you want from here.

As others have said, the harbour is noisy starting at 8 a.m. It didn’t bother me, but it might bother some people.

No cookies or tea in the lobby (other reviews note both of those things). And the hotel voice recording and their website does specifically say they have cookies. But still none. Our room never had water glasses, even when requested.

And the fridge froze half the things we put in it. And the colour on the TV was off—everything had a weird red tint.

Stay elsewhere if you're staying more than a day or two.

Dear Jent890,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your stay at The DoubleTree St. John's. Upon your check in the Front Desk Agent would have told you that we are running a Limited housekeeping during your stay and if you required anything that you could contact the Front Desk. We are finding that a lot of guests still do not want housekeeping in their room each day as they are going into many different rooms throughout the day.

We do hope that you will come back and stay with at another time.

We really enjoyed our two night stay in king bed corner room overlooking the harbour. There was just a tiny bit of street noise early in the evening, but that went away soon enough later on each evening. There was no noise from the working harbour facility across the street, but the elevator was slightly audible in the room, because we were opposite it. We loved the thoughtful amenities and thoughtful layout of the room. The TV was one of the largest we've seen in a hotel room. We would absolutely stay here again, as the immediate neighbourhood offered shops and restaurants, but without the hectic street scene found nearer the pub district.

Room tip: The corner rooms have more windows, but some are near the elevator
