Top Shakespeare by the Sea Hotel Reviews

Cambridge Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean, staff was very helpful. Always stay here when I am in the city!"

The Barrington Hotel

8/10 Good

"The leak in my room at 3:45am was not great and being told to vacate at 8:30am and come back later in the day to switch rooms was not ideal given I checked in at 9:15pm. Great staff at the desk getting me a new room right away despite what I had been told. Much better than except the fridge froze my food and it was ruined. Otherwise pretty good."

Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"GRE"

The Westin Nova Scotian

8/10 Good

"We were there attending a conference for 3 days in the hotel facilities (+ 3 more days for arrival & departure). Well managed services for participants, tasty health breaks, lunches etc. The Westin Nova Scotia is very well located, walking distance to great restaurants, Pier 21 museum and the splendid harbourfront boardwalk, quality boutiques etc. Nice park right in front. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Temperature a bit cold and took a while to warm up the room. Great bed and pillows. But please, get better coffee quality for a hotel of that standing ! ☕️ (both in rooms and restaurant). Convenient outdoor parking (gated) with back entrance to elevators 👍 Oh, the walk-in closet door couldn't stay open, and when it closes it turns off the light -- while I am inside! Had to put a bag to keep it open. There should be a door stop, that was a bit annoying, but not a major issue. Great breakfast in restaurant by the lobby. This hotel has a direct lobby entrance to the train station for those who travel by Via Rail. Practical."

Prince George Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, friendly staff, daily refresh, and they happily held our bags post check out so we were not toting them around."

Timeless Comfort, Downtown Halifax Living

10/10 Excellent

"I was hesitant to book this place because the listing seemed incomplete. However, everything ended up being fine. The place was comfortable and clean. The flat is in a very old building which comes with some realities like old bathroom fixtures and drafty windows. On the flip side, it is charming and the location was great for walking to local restaurants and sites."

Inglis Heritage: Cozy 2-BDRM near Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Pros: Great location and very clean Neg: no place to park and being a basement it smelled a little musty"

Stylish Living at Inglis Heritage

10/10 Excellent

"In perfect walking distance to downtown, the grocery, the waterfront. Plenty of parking. My cat’s litter box fit well in the bathroom and wasn’t in the way (big plus). I felt safe being there alone. I’d stay there again! 10/10"

Beautiful 3-bedroom house in Halifax Downtown perfect for relaxing stays

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and nicely decorated home with a kitchen that was full of all the cooking elements needed for a long stay. Three comfortable beds. Great location that is an easy walk to the harbour boardwalk."
