The views were amazing, the room was lovely, the beds were comfortable and the staff was fantastic! They were very helpful in assisting us with finding things to do in the area! We attended the Story Teller event in the Pub and had a great time. It was a lovely stay! We will be back!

A full service hotel in a town/village that is very small and quaint. They have a pub and a great restaurant on site (we didn't try the pub but it looked popular.) The local water source has a lot of tannin in it so the hotel has a water station with filtered sparkling and flat water. That was a very nice touch.

A nice hotel right across the road from the water. Outside the hotel is large, brightly coloured and lovely. The rooms on the lower floor have a small patio. The rooms on the upper floor have baconies. This is a very busy hotel. All rooms on the front of the building have water views. The rooms on the back have a view of the privacy fence. Next time I'll ask for a room on the water facing side. The staff were great but hallway noise was loud. I would stay again.

Little disappointed with no kitchen/ no pub food service past 8 o’clock. I contacted the hotel 2 days prior to my stay and was reassured kitchen hours closed at 9. For this reason we headed directly there instead of getting food in deer lake after our flight. Had to find a local restaurant that was opened. Not the start to our trip I was looking for.

We enjoyed a fun kitchen party at the pub and tasty cuisine with great sunset views at the upstairs restaurant. Perfect location for visiting the seemingly endless Gros Morne National Park. The water station with multiple options of filtered water was a fantastic feature. Great water pressure in the shower. Easy parking and check-in. The surrounding area has plenty of other dining options within a short walk.

The Ocean View is a motel on the main road in windy Rocky Harbor. It has a restaurant and pub, but we chose a restaurant across the street for dinner. Our room did not face the ocean, but there was a nice patio right outside. There is a room with vending and ice machines, and best of all, glass bottles to fill with a choice of sparkling, warm still or cold still water. What a great solution to wasteful plastic bottled water. The sink is in a separate room from the toilet and shower. There is no counter by the sink. The wait for breakfast in the upstairs restaurant was exceedingly long. Rocky Harbor is a short drive to Western Brook Pond in Gros Morne park.

Stayed for 3 nights. We decided to have housekeeping only after the 2nd night and was rather disappointed when we return to our room. Garbage bins were not emptied, coffee pouch, shampoo and body wash was not replenished. The quality of the towels remain to be desired. The service at the restaurant, however, was excellent. The dining room was very clean and spacious, food was pretty good and reasonably priced .

The room was clean and appointments were nice. However, the "patio" were just a pair of worn out and frankly no clean looking (but they were, it was just very old plastic), no table and the TV was small. It is located right in the heart of Rocky Harbour. Staff were attentive and the restaurant choices (2) were either pub friendly or in the restaurant, very good choices, well presented and delicious.

We stayed in an ocean view room with a balcony and really enjoyed that space. The location of the hotel was convenient for visiting Gros Morne park. There is a restaurant and a pub in the hotel, both overlooking the harbour. The kitchen party we attended in the pub was great fun, and an excellent value for the $ 15 charged. Rooms could have been cleaner but are of good size and include a fridge and a table. There are dining options within walking distance of the hotel.

Washroom was old and beat up. Sink taps spin continuously with water running. Internet isn’t even useable. While the location and dinning options are awesome the rooms needs updating. Providing secure reliable internet in 2025 is standard

Couldn’t have found a better location. We booked an ocean view room and the view from our room was amazing. The restaurant was only open for breakfast during our stay, if we came a week later in the season we could have had the pleasure of the band in the pub but despite that the Anchor Pub was great for a drink and our bartender/waitress was amazing. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the area, she gave some great tips on where to get the best views of the area. Can’t wait to come back!

First off our reservation had just arrived moments before we arrived at the hotel even though I had made the reservation through Expedia in April. Then when we got to our room there was no fridge, ice bucket, coffee for two people. We used a garbage can for ice since no buckets were available, and had to go to the front desk for our own coffee even though it was supposed to be supplied. The second day was even worse when housekeeping did not come into our room. Once again we had scrounge around for our own supplies. Later we were told that you need to leave a sign on your door if you want housekeeping to clean your room. This was by far the most expensive hotel we stayed in with the worst service. Very disappointing.

I did not get to stay at Ocean View in Rocky Harbour, because somehow my reservation that I made mid-March for a stay on July 7 2024 was given to someone else due to overbooking. Mind you Ocean View did make reservations for me to another hotel, needles to say the experience was not the same & was still disappointing😞. I guess making your reservation early is no guarantee.

Mix up at check in, I reserved in annex. Another guest with same first name was mistakenly checked into my room. This took about 20 minutes to straighten out. I feel breakfast or something should have been comped. Was there a price difference in bookings? There was no apology for the error. Upstairs breakfast crew provided great service. Downstairs pub crew seems overworked and stressed.

The Ocean View Hotel is a great choice if you’re visiting Gros Morne. It’s at the heart of the harbour in Rocky Harbour and offers walkable access to two nearby restaurants, a beach, and a short hiking trail. It’s also within an hour drive of both Tablelands and Western Brook Pond, and the Arches a little farther up the coast.

Lovely view from room - very clean. Fireplace was electric not a gas fireplace - ie: no flame! Laminate floors would have been preferred to plush carpeting from a sanitary perspective. Ate dinner on 2nd floor the first night of our arrival -place was very bright and clean, but food was subpar unfortunately. Fish seafood chowder was watery- ceasar salad was brown on edges and had been previously refridgerated causing croutons to be soggy/chewy -waitress replaced it but no apology. Buns on table were warm & served with whipped butter which was appreciated :) We unknowingly stayed past closing tiime (9pm) and it was nice of them to allow us to finish our meal. Lovely view of sunsets with rooms facing the water. Exterior of hotel is lovely and freshly painted but interior is a little tired/dated.
