Top Government House Hotel Reviews

Four Points by Sheraton Halifax

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was beyond kind and gentle, no complains about anything but the Restaurant service. My wife, kid and I went to have just a quick meal Friday night at 9:00 PM, as we knew the Restaurant close at 10:00. The waitress came in a bad mood, saying : we are almost close guys, so we have no many options. We tried to rush but this lady pressure was annoying. I have to tell her...Give us a few minutes please if you don't mind. I asked for a Burger (it wasn't well cooked), my child asked for Mac & Cheese and it was cold. We never came back to the restaurant again. A nice Hotel with so many nice staff, doesn't deserve to has that kind of Restaurant service, hopefully a manager or supervisor could give the proper training to that lady."

The Barrington Hotel

8/10 Good

"I always book the Barrington when I visit Halifax. It provides the best value from my experience, proximity to the Harbourfront, and Pedway to the Casino/waterfront (especially during the winter) and the Tempo restaurant on the premises has a fantastic staff and the food has always been excellent. The only negatives I have found was no air conditioning in the room and the parking off site. On site with no fee would be a great perk but understand that is impossible. However , the AC issue is fixable. The windows do not open so the room did get stuffy and we woke several times during the night. I don’t recall this always being an issue so there may be AC in some rooms. Also, this would not have been noticed on winter trips. It was definitely a problem this time."

Moxy Halifax Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Here’s a polished review you could post: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We absolutely loved our stay at Moxy Downtown Halifax! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was unlike any hotel we’ve stayed at. It’s modern, fun, and has so much personality. The lobby is such a great space to hang out, with Jenga, Pac-Man, and other games that make it feel more like a social lounge than just a hotel. You even get a complimentary welcome drink when you check in, which is such a nice touch. We also took advantage of happy hour at the bar, where cocktails were half price, and the food was perfect for an afternoon snack or a late-night bite. The rooms were spotless, modern, spacious enough for four people, and had everything we needed. One of our favourite features was the self-serve communal closet stocked with extra towels, pillows, toiletries, steamers, and other essentials. If you need anything else, the staff are more than happy to help. The complimentary extras throughout the day really made our stay stand out. There was fresh trail mix available in the afternoon, lemonade and fruit punch to help yourself to, and complimentary tea and coffee every morning. The location is also fantastic—just a short, enjoyable walk to the waterfront, with plenty to see along the way. Every little detail has been thoughtfully designed, from the stylish décor to the fun elevator experience. Everything feels intentional, modern, and incredibly well put together. We’re visiting from Toronto, and this was easily one of"
