Top Pier 21 National Historic Site Hotel Reviews

Red George Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great apartment in good location"

The Barrington Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Walking distance to everything. Busdepot is right next to the hotel. Airportbus # 320 drops you off right at the hotel. My room was spacious and very clean with a city view ( Queensize) I loved their indoor swimming pool. They don’t do the rooms every day. I stayed there 8 nights and they only did my room one time. This was ok with me but if you want everyday housekeeping this might not be the hotel for you. I would recommend this hotel to family and friends and I would stay there again. I just hope they will improve the coffee which is provided in the room,"

Cameo Hotel and Suites

8/10 Good

"Everything was great - room was clean, check in was smooth with minor hiccups (no fault to the property or set up lol), but nothing unmanageable. Given that the property is right in halifax, parking can be tricky if you have a car and have heavy luggage that you have to trek with you. So be prepared for a ticket on your windshield even if you are 8-10 minutes over the time."

Moxy Halifax Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"C’est parfait"

Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved having the pool right off our room! Such a great stay, even though it was just for a night. Would definitely stay again."

Courtyard by Marriott Halifax Downtown

8/10 Good

"Great room. Upper terrace is beautiful and great location. Room was very comfortable."

The Halliburton

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed staying in this historical property close to the waterfront. Staff were extremely professional and polite. We had read reviews so we’re not surprised at the stairs to our 3rd floor room and separate townhouse style of the hotel. If you have any mobility issues I would recommend requesting a ground floor room. The patio area looked lovely tho we had a short stay so didn’t experience it. Appreciated free parking and local recommendations for eating."

The Westin Nova Scotian

10/10 Excellent

"What I love was it was connected to the Halifax train station. A porter walked us and our bags right over there."

Inglis Heritage: Cozy 2-BDRM near Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Pros: Great location and very clean Neg: no place to park and being a basement it smelled a little musty"
