Our stay was very enjoyable. Loved the amenities, and all the staff were pleasant.

Darlene, Canada

Cool older style inn within walking distance to everything. Very clean and great friendly service. Will stay here again. Breakfast included and is healthy and decent. Great value for money.

Vicki, Canada

perfectly ok for one night if you just want a clean bed to sleep and downtown is in walking distance

Gerlinde, Austria

Everything was great value for your money walking distance to everything including the Halifax bingo and downtown quiet and relaxing

Tammy, Canada

20 minute walking distance from Halifax Waterfront. Older building with lots of stairways and hallways. Not accessible to all.

Douglas, Canada

Great location within walking distance of all the downtown bars and restaurants. Breakfast was great with a good selection for the continental style breakfast. Room was very quiet even with a lot of people staying there!

Kevin, Canada

We were very pleased with our stay at the Commons Inn. Best description - very good value for your dollar. 30 minute walk or $10 taxi to Harbourfront. Our beds were comfortable. The continental breakfast had variety and featured 18% coffee cream! The fridge, the a/c, the TV all worked the way they are supposed to! The staff is very friendly, knowledgable and helpful. Stored our suitcases after check out time on our last day as we took a tour.

Ron, Canada

The location was great for my downtown meetings. the hotel is clean & efficient for travelers. some construction going on but it didn't interfere with my stay. Parking is on site and free though limited. It is an old property that has limited charm.

Tim, Canada

breakfast was very good. had alot of variety. Mom and daughter were so friendly and helpful.

Moira, Canada

The hotel was conveniently close to downtown Halifax, especially the Agricola Street/Gottingen Street area with its pubs and restaurants. It was pleasant, comfortable and welcoming.

눉Bed was REALLY uncomfortable to sleep on after 3rd night. Room was adjacent to reception area and therefore were woken up many times from loud people checking in/out. If you want quiet, avoid the low 200-series rooms.
눇Clean room. Walking distance to downtown and Citadel. Breakfast selection is modest but fresh and well maintained with staff constantly replenishing.

- • Deluxe Two Double Bed Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉As soon as you opened the door to your room there was a musty smell (that went away once the air conditioning was turned on). The beds were lumpy and not very comfortable. It was a good hike to the downtown/boardwalk area ... downhill there and uphill on the way back!

눉The street was a bit noisy at night, typical of an inner city area just off the downtown.
눇Old style recently renovated with a brand new bathroom. It was clean and friendly. The bed was very comfortable, the room was well air conditioned. Good value for the money. There were small interesting cafes nearby and the neighborhood was a cultural mix with lots of young people out and about.

“Could have been a better experience”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Room with Two Single Beds
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉We were surprised that there were 2 twin beds instead of a queen-size bed. Did we make a booking error? Or perhaps, your website was not user-friendly. Bed linens had strong body odor! Manager Wanda (?) was on defensive and took an unnecessary provocative tone with us, THE CLIENTS, when we asked for fresh linens. We could not sleep on 1st night due to bad odors, but 2nd night after a change of bed linens, we were able to sleep well. This lady manager needs to have better peoples skills!
눇Receptionist Stella was very helpful & friendly when we checked in; she provided good tips about the neighborhood. Receptionist Danielle was also very friendly and smiley when we left. Chinese housekeeper also smiley and seemed nice.

“OK as a base for a short while in Halifax.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Queen Bedroom
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The place is scruffy, particularly the immediately outside area and the public stairs and corridors. The bed was so soft that one person rolled into the other. The breakfast was minimal - mass-produced sliced bread, cheap spreads and yoghurts, the odd piece of fruit. OK, its cost was included, but it was no good for those avoiding carbohydrates!
눇We received a friendly welcome.
