Easily walkable to harbour, free parking on site, helpful staff. Close to good local restaurants and cafes. Some interesting memorabilia in the guest lounge. Standard continental breakfast.

Robyn, Australia

Close to downtown with some establishments around the corner.

Casey, Canada

Breakfast, restaurant right downstairs for supper, lunch available nearby, convenience store on corner, easy access to airport bus.

Melvina, United States of America

It certainly did not look like the pictures in the advertisement . Our room looked out into the back parking lot. Very limited parking. Room was very small and smelled almost moldy ., we unplugged one light because of a bare wire..furniture old and needed updating ..could hear EVERYTHING going on up above us in the night ... Sure not what I expected .Had booked in a night earlier but we left early the next day . I asked about a refund but the desk clerk said absolutely not.Do not waste your money here ..

Kathy, Canada

Our rooms were on the fourth floor and I asked booking.com for first or second. The manager and check in staff were very gracious in dealing with our frustration. The location is central to downtown. The breakfast as good.

Maureen, United States of America

The location was decent. Breakfast was adequate. Bed was comfortable. A/C was quiet for a wall unit. Staff was accommodating. Good pressure in the shower. Room was very clean. I would further suggest that this place is more in liking for a younger crowd and not seniors. Parking was free.

Morris, Canada

I did like the staff, the area, and food next door.

Steven, Canada

close to to downtown and attractions. Staff are friendly and more than wiling to answer questions and make recommendations. Inside of building to old and full of character and antiques.....this comes with the noise and creeks.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“This hotel had an artsy vibe. There were books in the hallway, along with references to the history of Halifax. The staff were extremely accommodating to our religious needs, and our room gave us a nice view of the street, which was entertaining. The hotel was also in a great location, in the middle of everything but just enough out of the way for quietness.”

CandyTraveler

United States of America

“Cost and location were excellent”

Breagh

“Pleasant staff with an old world charm of a family run inn. Not the cookie cutter aproach of the big chains. Far cheaper than those chains too! Also 6 mins. car ride to downtown.”

눉The advertising said parking was available to guests but forgot to mention there wasn’t enough for all guests. The advertising also said free WIFI, we stayed for 3 days and it didn’t work properly or at all for our entire stay. Other Guests complained about were you park even though there were not enough spots for everyone, very difficult for those who drive large SUV’S and trucks.

“Love the area, but I would likely stay at a different location unless it was renovated.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Deluxe Queen Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉I didn't like that they had bug repellents plugged into the wall. The bed side table on my side ( left ) was broken and almost fell off when we went to turn it on. There was only 1 garbage can and no recycle bins, so always walking to the bathroom to use the garbage. Toilet paper was extremely thin, we used our kleenex. The toilet tank leaked when we flushed it and before having a shower my husband had to fix the shower head. The day before ( as they make their own ice) they ran out for guests. We needed some so I bought two bags and told them to share one with other guests. It was the last part of our 3 week vacation and it was the only one that requested we pay in advance, had we not paid in advance we likely would have changed locations.
눇I did like the staff, the area, and food next door.
