Top Halifax Hotel Reviews

Cambridge Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The bathroom fan was quite loud, and the bifold doors needed some TLC as they popped out of the track."

Prince George Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel is quite high up the hill above the waterfront. Close to Citadel which is higher up the hill. Be for warned… you will get your exercise walking up and down hills."

The Barrington Hotel

8/10 Good

"Price was good and is a great location to enjoy Halifax- for the budget minded, the 320 express bus from the airport stops across the street which saved us about $100 compared to taxi and was only 20 minutes longer."

"It is located in an excellent location."
