Was there on business. Check-in was quick. Room was ok but nothing special. It seemed to be clean but didn't really look it which maybe was the carpet. Food was good at the Jack's restaurant but service was not very fast and there were a couple mistakes on the orders. The group meal / buffet they served was pretty tasteless.... More

This hotel is very conveniently located near major shopping centres, and business centres. The staff are exceptional. We found the food at the restaurant very good. The staff at the restaurant and front desk have worked there a long time and remember their customers. The rooms were always clean.

This is a review of Jack's, the restaurant at the Capital Hotel. Went there on a Thursday night for prime rib. Took 17 minutes after being sat and given a menu before anyone took our order, Another 20 minutes before a seafood chowder appetizer showed up, and a the food didn't arrive until a little over an hour and twenty...

I was staying here for two nights, booked by customer so didnt have a choice. The rooms themselves are decent at first glance as this Hotel isn't all that old. The bathroom drain was broke and I had to use pocket knife to drain the tub each time. The cold water tap on vanity would jam and wife couldnt turn... More

Was here for a conference. Screwed up my booking and then spent the 2 nights in a room next to the squeeky grinding elevator... Resturant is way overpriced and the location is far from anything in the city unless you are looking to buy a car. Towels are good to use as sandpaper. Room was clean. Bed was very uncomfortable....

Restaurant was good - a good place to go. Especially for breakfast. The location etc, however, is unremarkable and pretty much "away" from most interesting parts of the city.

We have stayed at the Capital on a couple of occsions in the last 2 months. The price was the initial attraction. It's a decent room at a great price. Jack's restaurant downstairs is amazing. The food is great and the service is even better. The bar is also fairly nice. The front desk staff is adequate. I plan to... More

The check-in service, the housekeeping service and the restaurant were all ok -- good and solid with no surprises (good or bad). However, they seem to try to compete price-wise with downtown hotels and they are simply not in that category; decent, thicker towels and better quality bedding would go a long way -- their 'frugality' shows. Location sucks; close... More

All aspects of the hotel were average - rooms clean and adequate, largely nondescript - and the front desk service was surprisingly unhelpful in a city and province where the locals are largely (and rightly) known for being friendly/hospitable. Even a discounted rate of $99 seemed high for the quality of hotel. The worst feature of the hotel is location... More

New hotel along a strip of car dealerships - nowhere near anything. Not close to downtown and not close to the airport. If you want to see St-John's and stay here be sure to drive or rent a car. Reception staff is hit or miss. In terms of meeting facilities, they look lovely and very new. However, they have very... More
