The Barrington Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We love the location of this hotel. Nice place to stay"

Prince George Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Generally a great hotel however at over $400.00/night not providing bath robes in our room was very poor!! This was not an oversight as when I called the front desk I was told that this was in fact their policy. They did however deliver two bathrobes to our room after I requested them to do so. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!"

Moxy Halifax Downtown

4/10 Poor

"I've stayed in a number of hotels in Halifax and surrounding areas and without a doubt this hotel is the single worst hotel experience I've had. For my 8 night stay I paid more then I ever had for any of the other hotels listed on Expedia in HRM and here’s what I noticed; 1. The rooms are obviously pictured to be tiny but the grasp of how tiny they are is only made in person. There is ZERO storage space in the entire room with the exception of 1 pull out drawer which handle was broken and inaccessible and the small suitcase storage under the bed does not in fact fit a suitcase. The layout of the room made no sense. In order to watch the tv you have to be propped up at the foot of either bed to see the full screen. 2. Easily the biggest issue with this hotel is the noise. Every Saturday the lobby turns into a nightclub with blaring music that from the second floor is heard so clearly it literally shakes the room. I was unlucky enough to have a 4AM flight on Sunday morning and when I advised staff of the noise in my room I was told “we are fully booked, and there’s no rooms to move you too, you’ll have to deal with it”. I can most certainly understand wanting to cultivate a fun experience in your lobby but it should not come at the cost of the comfort of your guests, after all this is a hotel. Ultimately, I would recommend nearly any other hotel in Halifax over this one."

Hampton Inn by Hilton Halifax Downtown

8/10 Good

"Good clean room, helpful staff .. though structural improvements required .. whole 15 floor building has 2 elevator and if 1 goes down.. expect 30 min wait as their staff takes over 50% of the lift to carry their carts and during breakfast .. same chaoes.. best to get room on lower floor"
