7.8/10 Good! (4,119 reviews)
The perfect spot for a downtown stay in Halifax. The Barrington Hotel is close to the waterfront and all of the amazing restaurants, shops and sights to see along the boardwalk. We had a fabulous stay and would highly recommend it for solo and family stays.

The city tour bus is a great way to see everything!!

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Not far from the hotel. Bit of an uphill walk (it is at the highest point after all).

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Bring ear plug as the noon time cannon firing and the optional "Ready, Aim, Fire" of an authentic Snider-Enfield rifle can get very loud.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

It's a good uphill hike for pedestrians to the Citadel.  Signage is not great; look for the red signs.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Closed at 5 so only walked up hill.
