Top Shakespeare by the Sea Hotel Reviews

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."

Cambridge Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was excellent. Check in and out was super quick and easy. Close proximity to the tourist site was a bonus"

The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This is very nice hotel in the old building. It was another experience to stay in this hotel."

Moxy Halifax Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Gummy worms at desk"

The Hollis Halifax a DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We liked the location !"

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."

Prince George Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent hotel located below The Citadel, with a superior attached restaurant Gio. Food was imaginative, as were the drinks, and the staff excellent. Our king room was well appointed, with plenty of room and two armchairs. We enjoyed the ala carte breakfast, happy hour, and dinner at Gio. The housekeeping staff were top notch too. Location is walkable to the waterfront, and a somewhat longer but pleasant walk to the terrific Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. Parking in the basement of the hotel is fine for a smaller car. We had a Jetta and it was a little tight. Could be a somewhat challenging for a larger SUV, but the hotel also offers valet parking. Definitely a great stay, and one we would repeat on our next visit to this lovely city."
