Top Halifax Hotel Reviews

Prince George Hotel

10/10 Excellent

The Hollis Halifax a DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Although we enjoyed our stay, we could see that the place is due for refurbishment and the restaurant needs an overhaul, breakfast was uninspiring. Desk staff were excellent, especially Stephen."

Cambridge Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Cambridge has a great location convenient to downtown Halifax restaurants waterfront and shopping. It has a roof top terrace as well as a work out room and plenty of secure underground parking. The breakfast included had many options and was good quality. The room was comfortable. It could do with some updates here and there but overall it’s a great value and always consistent."

The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful stay at The Lord Nelson. Lovely room, great location to enjoy the park opposite and easy access to the waterfront. Would definitely recommend this lovely hotel."

Best Western Plus Chocolate Lake Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff very helpful, location by the lake very nice, the breakfast was very good, rooms were clean, pool and arcade area was great, Had a little bit of trouble checking in but that was due to the power outage"

Chebucto Inn

8/10 Good

"The motel is older but the owners have made efforts to keep it in good condition. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was clean. There was the issue of no coffee for the coffee machine. At that time they were having problems with receiving their orders. They did give us a coupon for the restaurant for 2 free coffees though. The ac units need to be replaced with quieter models. But this seems to be a recurring issue at each hotel/motel we stayed in."

Atlantica Hotel Halifax

8/10 Good

"Good location and staff very helpful but expensive and the cleaner did not show up on the first day of my 2-day stay."
