Top Halifax Hotel Reviews

The Hollis Halifax a DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our suite had a great view of the harbour and was clean and comfortable. It was fairly spacious, which was key because there were 5 of us and we needed to use the pull-out couch. There was a kitchenette, so I expected some basics: bowls, cutlery etc., unfortunately there was nothing in the cupboards so we needed to make a trip to the grocery store, since we had planned to eat breakfast in our room. The location to the boardwalk was awesome. I would stay here again."
