    We very much enjoyed our stay here. Fully recommend!
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Double Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Many of the rooms have double beds when they have plenty of room for queens.

    The location was excellent for walking to the waterfront, Citadel and downtown activities. The breakfast was continental with hard-boiled eggs - worked for me. The evening before we left at 06:00, the staff brought us eggs, muffins and yogurts to take to the airport. Much appreciated! The staff worked very hard for us, when the bed in our first room was so squeaky we got very little sleep. Even though the Inn was mostly full, they found us another room that was so much better.

    Garden South Park Inn is recommended for a reasonably priced alternative in Halifax

    • Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The room was "dated," as it could use a freshening. The towels in the bathroom were quite thin. It was great that breakfast was available but it was pretty standard "continental" fare.

    The staff is EXCELLENT. Very helpful and friendly upon check in and again when we left. Our car keys were found in the parking lot (they fell out of my backpack) and turned in to the clerk. He tracked me down at the airport and assured me they would be mailed to me immediately. Location is excellent as well, being on the edge of downtown, within easy walking distance of restaurants and sites.

    The queen room was a bit small.

    This is a well run B & B and Paul at the front desk was very helpful with an early check in as he contacted me when our room was ready. It's fairly close to the center of Downtown and about 15 minutes walk to the waterfront. The Breakfast is basic enough but plentiful. The staff are all very friendly.

    Very noisy on the third floor; many doors opening and closing. And the doors are not slow closing so they slam shut. In the middle of the day they decided to do some maintenance literally outside our room, using power tools! We had travelled far that day and wanted to rest which was impossible. Mattress on the first floor room needs to be replaced; lumpy and you lean into the middle of the bed. Very busy breakfast area; not always room for everyone to eat during peak season. Cold eggs for breakfast.

    I liked the location; not a far walk from restaurants and easy to get downtown. Coffee was good. Appreciated having the bottled water in the room.

    Or shower was terrible, so hard to get on the right temperature and pressure. The only downside of the stay.

    Very friendly with a personal feel, and accommodating to our early arrival. Our room type was changed on arrival which wasn’t a problem although looking onto a graveyard, also didn’t bother me. The room was bright and large with a very comfy bed. I didn’t have breakfast but it offered continental options. Great for a couple of nights.

    • Twin Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    We had twin beds but the bedding was for a much larger bed. Neither of us likes to tuck in our blankets but the size of the room had the overhang get in the way. A small quibble but one could trip over the bedding.

    The location is great. Walkable to the waterfront and the rest of downtown Halifax. Very pleasant staff. The breakfast was quite good and more than adequate although there was no hot option. The premises were clean. It is an old house so there are some limitations. A very good nearby restaurant offers a small discount for guests.

    The windows could do with some maintenance, as could some of the woodwork. I stayed in two different rooms and one mattress could do with replacing.

    The property is a lovely old building and was clean and comfortable. It is really central, in a great location close to the public gardens, local sights snd shops. It has a homely feel and is very relaxed. It has air conditioning and was very quiet. I slept well.

    It is an older building so it has older building issues, though the management says they are in the process of addressing those, it's been such a busy season for them.

    The breakfast was light and healthy, many options.
