High quality experience at this elegant small hotel in downtown Halifax, as always. It's in a series of historical buildings, well maintained and updated over the decades. I was pleased to find it as charming and peaceful as ever. Unbeatable location close to the waterfront. I will always be back.

Quaint, friendly service, and a great location. The Citadel, the harbour, Neptune Theatre, Halifax Public Library, restaurants...all are within walking distance, and the legendary Bearley's pub (live music nightly) is right around the corner. Housed in a heritage building (no elevator) the room had features we really appreciated, including thick towels, a small TV that did not overwhelm the decor, and an alarm clock. The friendly desk staff gave us recommendations for three restaurants, all of which were bang-on. We benefitted from excellent value for money during the shoulder season (late April).

Very cozy & unique experience staying in a heritage house.

The hotel is located in an area great for walking, close to the waterfront and shops. The room was clean and comfortable. Our room was on street level and so there was traffic noise and noise from people walking by. The noise wasn't unbearable, just something to be aware of if you're a light sleeper.

Liked: Cleanliness
There are only 2 things. It is a lovely property with lots of charm. It is not good for those who find stairs difficult unless you request a room on the first floor as there are no elevators. There are also no USB ports in the room unless you have an ipod. There were outlets, however, my mistake because i always do, take the outlet charger for your devices. I really enjoyed the property. Staff were lovely.

Thank you for your thoughtful and kind review, Lisa! We do our best to advertise that we are a heritage property without elevators, but as you say we are always happy to move someone into a ground level room if one is available. Alternatively, our staff is also happy to help bring bags to/from your guest room to make this easier.Wishing you safe travels!

The property is an old heritage building so has a lot of character. The bed was only a double and there was no prices posted for the breakfast that you can add to your room. Cost us 150$ for a night

Hi Philippa, I appreciate your feedback! The room you had booked is called "petite room - one double bed". It's important to fully read the title and description of the room type you're booking, so that there are no surprises when you check in. Wishing you safe travels, and all the best with future stays.

Ahmed

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff was ready to let me sleep outdoors in snow storm because i didn’t have credit card as i come from country where credit cards do not exist and my stay was paid online then they asked me for 400$ deposit , for 2 star hotel. Unreal and inhuman, if i didn’t have emergency funds I would have spent the night outside in the storm even after I paid my stay
Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024
Response from The Halliburton Team on Feb 15, 2024
Hi Ahmed, While we appreciate that not everyone has a credit card, this policy is standard practice in Nova Scotia and beyond. Everyone who has a guest room, pre-paid or otherwise, needs to provide either a credit card for us to place a hold on, or a cash/debit deposit. This is for liability reasons - if a guest were to smoke in, or otherwise damage their room, without a credit card or deposit we would have no way to recoup the cost associated with that. While this doesn't happen often, it -does- happen, which is why it's a standard policy for most Canadian hotels. We regret to hear that you found this policy upsetting, but if you stay elsewhere in Nova Scotia you can expect to run into this again.

Is anyone home?
I was up at the top of two huge flights of stairs. The walls were paper thin and I could hear every noise next door until the wee hours. Shipping trucks were clunking on the street, nobody visited my room for housekeeping once in a three-night stay, I had no fresh coffee, no fridge in room. No ice machine. The restaurant was closed, the girl at the office acted like it was a bother to do anything. It like an old, lonely, abandoned hotel.

Hi Beth, We appreciate you taking the time to review your stay. We encourage any who stays in any hotel to look into the property they are booking before making a reservation on a third party website like this one. Additionally, you are welcome to call hotels directly if you have specific needs - ex : a ground level room. We are a historic boutique hotel comprised of three heritage properties, and do not have elevators. We are very clear in our property description about this. Each room is appointed with a Keurig machine, including coffee pods, which we would have been happy to replenish for you upon your request. Fresh ground coffee is brewed each morning in our lobby. We do have an ice machine, but this is a service our front desk takes care of, as it's in a private service area. Our staff is always happy to get ice, and even deliver it to your room if requested. We apologize that your room refresh was missed. Wishing you safe travels in the future -
