Top Downtown Halifax Hotel Reviews

The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Tastefully modernised historic property. Clean, well maintained. Helpful and efficient staff. Good food in TheArms. Great location."

The Sutton Place Hotel Halifax

10/10 Excellent

"This was my third stay here and is absolutely my favourite place to stay when visiting Halifax. The location cannot be beat; walkable to all major downtown attractions and tons of dining and live music. The rooms are beautifully decorated and have a luxurious feel. I’ve always stayed in a citadel view room but the other views would face the city and would be lovely as well. Beds and pillows are comfortable; bathroom is spacious with a separate toilet room. Comfy towels and bathrobes and, yay, the Occitane toiletries are back! There are two fridges - one with items to purchase and one that is empty and useful to keep your own food and beverages chilled."

The Barrington Hotel

4/10 Poor

"I left the hotel room 127 one night early because my stay was 4 nights and I had not received any housekeeping during my stay. Also, my daughter, who was staying in room 226 had broken AC and could not sleep due to too hot a room. Since she was my transportation I left with her. While having a drink at the Tempo bar/restaurant the night before [which is connected to the hotel lobby] we saw mice in the restaurant scurrying around the floor coming out of the kitchen area. Someone told me they had seen a mouse on the 1st floor which was where I was staying. I decided then I would never stay in this hotel again. My room/bed 127 was comfortable and clean, staff friendly and helpful but the other issues over rode my decision to leave 1 night early. I would not recommend this hotel."
