Top Government House Hotel Reviews

Red George Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and the building was located a short walk from the harbour front and many excellent restaurants"

The Sutton Place Hotel Halifax

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is highly recommended. Not only the beautiful property, but the staff at the front desk to the servers at the lounge / restaurant were so personable, professional and so fun to chat with. This will be our main hotel in our future visits. Halifax was a blast!! Thank you Sutton."

Prince George Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel. Staff was friendly - without being pretentious. Room was comfortable and spacious. Hotel was clean and modern. Parking was very convenient and they have a dedicated elevator to the parking area if you want to self-park (and why not? easy in and out and very convenient). Of the two big hotels in the downtown area - we stayed at both on opposite ends of our trip - this was by far our preferred. Restuarant was very good and convenient. (Great breakfast buffet, btw, with eggs bennies). Would stay here again."
