The Sutton Place Hotel Halifax

10/10 Excellent

"Picked for location, excellent walking distance to everything including the citadel and harbour. Regular water in the rooms for drinking would be a good addition - or a note regarding whether you can drink the tap water. Overall , beauty spot"

Delta Hotels by Marriott™ Halifax Downtown

8/10 Good

"The property was very close by the venue that we wanted to take in. Lots of options where it came to food and drinks on the property. We had our Parking included in the stay. And the staff were very helpful and friendly."

Cameo Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Liked the property very much. Centrally located, clean and functional. The only things I felt would be helpful are a light in the kitchen area and a larger bed area."

Prince George Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice clean and comfortable room. Good location. Just be aware that it’s at the top of the hill and about 6 blocks down to the waterfront."

Four Points by Sheraton Halifax

8/10 Good

"This hotel is ideally situated for people wanting to walk around what’s on offer in the Nova Scotia. However, it is a little dated and it’s quite noisy in the rooms most of the rooms face onto the front of the street and starting very early in the morning. There is a lot of truck traffic as the containers are being offloaded at the docks very nearby. I don’t think asking for another room would’ve made any difference as the majority of the rooms seem to face the same way,if not, they are very close to the side road, so the noise would only be marginally lower. It might’ve been a nice touch to visitors if there was something in the rooms to let them know of sites worth seeing in the area, possibly some restaurants, cafés, or bars they may wish to visit. It’s quite an expensive hotel for what you get in my opinion"

Hampton Inn by Hilton Halifax Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay!"
