Hotel Port Aux Basques

Two-storey property with no elevator, which many guests find inconvenient for upstairs rooms. On-site restaurant/lounge and laundry are available, with easy parking.

Rooms are often described as very clean, but some areas show age with worn or stained carpets and occasional musty odors. A few guests reported housekeeping misses like leftover items under beds.

Rooms are generally small with dated decor and very thin walls, so noise carries; beds are usually comfortable. Guests report occasional in-room Wi‑Fi problems and some loud or aging A/C units.

Staff are widely praised as friendly, helpful, and accommodating, handling ferry rushes and late arrivals well. Service can be stretched at times—especially in the restaurant—with occasional slow response, billing/reservation hiccups, or rare unfriendly interactions.

Exceptionally convenient for Marine Atlantic ferry passengers, just minutes from the terminal. Also handy to the highway and basic services, ideal for an overnight stop before or after the crossing.

The on-site restaurant and pub earn frequent praise for tasty meals, generous portions, and good breakfasts. At peak times the dining room feels small and service can be slow or short-staffed, with occasional limited hours.
