Top Dalhousie University Hotel Reviews

The Barrington Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Across the street from the bus stop that brings you from the airport. The Scotia Centre, is also across the street and has a food court if you want to bring a bite back to your room. There is a car rental place across the street too. I’d definitely stay here again next trip to Halifax."

The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"."

Courtyard by Marriott Halifax Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Chambre propre et spacieuse; personnel de soir dévoué et courtois; de même que celui du restaurant qui nous a contacté un menu spécial selon nos goûts; hôtel super bien situé près de la promenade et des bons restaurants de fruits de mer. Bref, un séjour de 3 jours fort agréable !"

Garden South Park Inn

8/10 Good

"The Inn is in an old victorian building and is conveniently located for downtown. It is right across from the hospital so is great if you have family or friends there. We stayed 5 nights for a vacation and found the staff very helpful; when we had trouble with noise in our first room they moved us the next day to another, much quieter, room. The curtains in our room were half off the rail at the top and were much too high a reach for us to fix - inconvenient but not a deal-breaker. Breakfast was pretty good with a decent variety of cold foods. We could use the parlour / breakfast room to bring our own food in for dinner, or have a drink with our friends, or play cards in the evening. The parking in the back is very limited but we did get a spot when we needed it, which was good because the street parking is pay from 8 am to 4 pm and it could really add up. All in all I would recommend it."
