Top Cole Harbour Hotel Reviews

HFX Airport Hotel

HFX Airport Hotel

8/10 Good
"The hotel is ideally located for quick access to the Halifax international airport. The facility is older and they are taking steps to update it. The elevators were not functioning during our stay but it didn't have much of an impact for us as we travel light. We did frequent the restaurant one evening and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meal. Breakfast is very basic and lacks fresh fruit options."

Prince George Hotel

Prince George Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room itself is smaller than most but well laid out. We liked the shower but a fan to clear steam would be nice if not please use the spray to prevent mirror fogging. A quick fix to the problem. We found the beds to be too high. A king bed doesn’t need king pillows. Most were too large and thick so not the most restful sleep. The hotel does offer smaller and feather pillows. This hotel shouldn’t go for look but comfort and you won’t have to have extras. It may have been our room but both the side chairs and toilet were lower than the standard height. I think it had a recent Reno but you missed the mark. The hotel is overall very clean. Great location. We were there for a wedding, I must say it was beautiful. The venue, food and staff were excellent. I would recommend!!"
