Top Government House Hotel Reviews

The Barrington Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The AC wasn’t the best. Not as clean as my preferred hotel….Hampton Inn. Location was great"

The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The petite room was perfect for one person. The room was clean and well appointed, and the bed was comfortable. Room service was fast and delicious. One of the best hotel staff experiences I have ever had. When they found out that my mom was having surgery at the hospital near by, they send a small gift to my room in support. It was so sweet and caring and really buoyed my spirits. Would absolutely recommend. "

Muir, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Halifax

10/10 Excellent

"Staying at the Muir was absolutely a luxury experience. From the moment we got there and were welcomed by staff to the beautiful rooms and the amazing dining experiences, this hotel is definitely a cut above! The Drift Restaurant has the BEST Lobster Croissant…I will be dreaming about that dish forever. If you want to stay at a hotel in a great harbour location in Halifax, with wonderful amenities, that is going to treat you exceptionally well - this is it!"
