Top Government House Hotel Reviews

The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great location."

The Halliburton

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable bed. Helpful staff. Mediocre breakfast"

Prince George Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice clean and comfortable room. Good location. Just be aware that it’s at the top of the hill and about 6 blocks down to the waterfront."

Red George Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely accommodations & great walk ability! The owners were engaging and friendly offering wonderful advice for the rest of our adventures!"

The Sutton Place Hotel Halifax

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely one night stay. The rooms are newly renovated and the bathroom very large. Loved the l’occitane products. The bed was so comfortable.parking was expensive at $45/night for valet"

Four Points by Sheraton Halifax

8/10 Good

"This hotel is ideally situated for people wanting to walk around what’s on offer in the Nova Scotia. However, it is a little dated and it’s quite noisy in the rooms most of the rooms face onto the front of the street and starting very early in the morning. There is a lot of truck traffic as the containers are being offloaded at the docks very nearby. I don’t think asking for another room would’ve made any difference as the majority of the rooms seem to face the same way,if not, they are very close to the side road, so the noise would only be marginally lower. It might’ve been a nice touch to visitors if there was something in the rooms to let them know of sites worth seeing in the area, possibly some restaurants, cafés, or bars they may wish to visit. It’s quite an expensive hotel for what you get in my opinion"

Hampton Inn by Hilton Halifax Downtown

10/10 Excellent

Cameo Hotel and Suites

"H"

Residence Inn by Marriott Halifax Downtown
