Top Government House Hotel Reviews

The Barrington Hotel

8/10 Good

"Parking would have been difficult but detailed instructions were given to park and get back to the hotel without stepping foot outside. About a 5+ minute walk from parking to hotel lobby. It looks like the hotel was once quite fancy and modern, but has not been updated in maybe 20 or more years. Still very clean. Mini fridge was nice and cold. Staff were helpful when something was requested but they were not proactive. I was able to obtain, after requesting on arrival, a microwave for the second and third of a three night stay. Hotel restaurant was nice, accommodating to different dietary needs. View was of a small area in middle of hotel, a rooftop courtyard that looked onto other hotel room windows. Not nice to look out of but it did offer some natural light. Windows did not open, but air conditioning was working well."

Cameo Hotel and Suites

8/10 Good

"The location, cleanliness, furnishing, spaciousness, and local were great. The kitchenette was perfect. The staff responded in good time to inquiries. I did have some trouble checking in on my Android - had to borrow a friend's iPhone. And one night was loud until midnight bc of the pub below. But the rest of the time it was extremely quiet and lovely. The bed was also extremely comfortable!"

Muir, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Halifax

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Muir Hotel was exceptional (our second time staying at The Muir). From the moment we arrived, the level of service was outstanding. Every staff member we encountered was warm, welcoming, incredibly professional and genuinely eager to help. Their attention to detail and commitment to making our stay special truly set this hotel apart. The rooms are absolutely beautiful, immaculately clean, thoughtfully designed and luxurious without feeling overdone. Every detail has been carefully considered, creating a relaxing and upscale atmosphere. The location is also unbeatable. Being right on the Halifax waterfront made it easy to explore the city, with amazing restaurants, shops and attractions all within walking distance. The Muir delivers a true luxury experience in every sense. The exceptional hospitality, pristine accommodations, and incredible attention to detail made this one of the best hotel stays we've ever had. It's an easy 10/10, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Halifax. We can't wait to come back!"

Courtyard by Marriott Halifax Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the Courtyard by Marriott. Bill on the front desk gave us such a warm welcome. He was friendly and responsive, and after a long journey with a 1 year old, he made us feel instantly welcome. Our room was large and bright - plenty of space for two and a baby. The room was very clean and I found the decor to be quite modern and practical. The hotel is right on the harbour front, so you have access to the whole city via the beautiful boardwalk. We had our breakfast at the Wired Monk cafe nearby, prior to heading to the brilliant Discovery Centre (amazing for kids of all ages). We stayed in 5 places during our trip to the Maritimes, and this was our favourite."
