We chose this place to stay based on a previous review on this site. I can't say I agree with the previous assessment. The 'suites' are really old apartments that are now being rented nightly. They are in the process of renovating and upgrading the building and apartments, but it's a work in progress. The setup does have some advantages - the suites are very spacious, and have a full kitchen, living room etc. And the price is very reasonable. All in all, I would consider giving this business a much better rating, however there were two big problems I couldn't get past. First, our 'suite' must have been previously occupied by a heavy smoker, because the odor was almost overwhelming. And the pillowcases and bed linens smelled as though they hadn't been washed in weeks. If you have no other options and can put up with these two issues (we actually spread our sleeping bags out over the bed to sleep in), it's a reasonably priced place to stay in Port aux Basques if you need one. But you might want to check your other options first.
For the past ten years I've been touring internationally and this is one of the most hospitable spots I've stayed. Maybe not the fanciest - but quite possibly the best! Definitely the best spot to stay in Port-Aux-Basques! Affordable, spacious - with an art gallery and museum downstairs. The staff was always friendly and attentive, and they have some of the best moose burgers on the island (trust me I've tried quite a few!) Cozy couches huddle around a warm wood stove in the main part of the restaurant/bar where they often host live music. If you are passing through Channel-Port-Aux-Basques, this is a great spot to hang your hat!
