"We stayed at this property ahead of moving our son into his university dorm. It was a perfect location, easy to get everywhere and a grocery store only a 5 minute walk. There was plenty of room to store our things and we really appreciated the covered car port. The house was very clean and the owners responsive. We would not hesitate to stay here again. My only suggestion to future guests would be to bring some sugar packets if you like it in your coffee :)"

Top Government House Hotel Reviews

Red George Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"The unique boutique rooms at this spot are lovely and the location was just amazing. Tristan was extremely helpful with questions we had about parking... picked up our call quickly. Way better than a hotel stay. We would definitely stay here again."

The Hollis Halifax a DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel

6/10 Okay

"I stayed at Hollies Halifax for 5 days. We arrived late the first day (Wednesday) and was told AC broken for the hotel. We stayed on the 9th floor ... flat roof with a day temperature of 30C. A hot stuffy room was our welcome! No windows at all. We requested a fan,. the fan was very loud with a broken nob that we cannot adjust. We had no choice but utilize the fan for air, but the fan was so noisy we cannot hear the TV. AC was restored on Friday! Aside from the fan issues, we like the location ... step away from the waterfront."

Cameo Hotel and Suites

8/10 Good

"My lobby code didn’t work when I arrived and I found that quite irritating after travelling all day. I also had trouble at the very beginning with paying on the self check in. The process was a little too hands off for me, I don’t mind a little automation but when something doesn’t work in a foreign city it’s annoying. The building is tastefully remodeled but it is a very old building with low ceilings, especially upstairs. And although the building seemed well insulated to outside noise, you are still smack dab in the middle of a very busy area. Cute little comfortable spot though, just felt a little uncomfortable from wondering if the locks would work every time I left the building!"
