Hotels in South End, Halifax

Hotel Halifax is the best hotel that I lived so far. Rooms are very clean and also service are way above my expectations. The only key point is the restaurant is pretty good. The two most memorable person (s) that I meet so far. First one is a nice young lady. Her name is Leah. She’s super nice and welcoming. She is very outgoing; professional and hardworking. She also have a very nice smile to brighten people’s day. Her wonderful smile is like a shining diamond.The most memorable thing I remember she did is she showed me a detailed map and make sure I know where to go. She also explained to me in detail about how to access the hotel. A big thank you for Leah’s wonderful professional service and always with a great nice smile. Leah is also very very polite too.Another person that I remembered is a gentleman named Nir. He is very helpful and polite. Overall. Every staff at the Hotel Halifax are very polite and helpful. Including the restaurant ones. Make sure if you want to live in this hotel. Look for either Leah or Nir to do your check in process. They will make you feel comfortable as you are in your own home. Big thank you to every staff at the hotel Halifax. And an extremely big big big shout out to Leah and Nir. They are most thoughtful person. I feel so appreciate for both Leah and Nir. P.S: Leah is also a very warm-hearted person that I meet. Definitely will come back for Leah and Nir only. 10/10 or 100/100.

So up front I’m going to say, we got a great day-before deal through Expedia- so I’m not sure what the cost would have been if we’d booked directly through the hotel. I’m shocked this hotel only has a 3.5 star rating. It’s newly renovated with modern design. The lobby is very impressive and the restaurant is lovely. Our room was very nice with trendy lighting options, a huge tv, and modern walk in shower. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Apparently rooms like ours on the upper floors are ‘platinum’ and get free appetizers and complimentary breakfast- which was a really great buffet. Nice surprise for me! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Pool is closed for repairs, but we hadn’t planned to use it. Only negative point for me is that parking is a bit pricey, but I guess this is typical of city hotels? I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Within walking distance of the Citadel and many restaurants.

Amazing hotel in the perfect location to get around on foot. Great staff that was eager to please. Room (one bedroom suite) was beautiful. Breakfast was really good. Lots to choose from. Will be returning in the future.

I recently stayed at the Garden South Park Inn while visiting Halifax and I'm so glad I did! The B&B was very nice and the room was clean and comfortable. The staff were lovely and the location was perfect! I picked this B&B so I could park my rental and walk around beautiful downtown Halifax. My only criticism would be to offer breakfast earlier. Breakfast starts at 7:45 am and most people who are in town on vacation like to get an earlier start. Myself and other guests were waiting in the beautiful lobby waiting for our breakfast and all commenting that an earlier breakfast would have been better. Other than that, I loved my stay at the Garden South Park Inn and would gladly stay again.

Would rate the front desk staff a 8 out of 10 due to the lack of concern about one of the staff. Housekeeping very friendly and helpful and cleaned up when we only ask that our garbage been taken out. Room was very comfortable When the phone wasn't working one of the young front desk staff came up and took immediate charge and fixed the problem. We were looking forward to using the ”hot tub” but who ever is responsible for the hotel's web site should delete the hot tub picture s it hasn't been there, per front desk staff, at least 10 years. The fitness room only has 2 out of 4 of the stationary and Eliptical bike working. Gave up after mentioning it to the front desk staff on two occasions. Had a nice washroom with safety bars, but would suggest bringing a safety mat and there were no safety *****s in the tub. Surprisingly I found out the hotel did not have a liquor licemce so I had to go to another hotel for some ”brown pops' on New Year's eve.

From the first moment on arriving, we were disappointed. There is space for 2 cars to park for check in in front of the hotel. Then $25 a night for parking across the street in an unsecured lot. Who pays $300 a night to drag their luggage across a street? The website clearly states a restaurant, otherwise I would never have booked here.. . it is my main criteria for booking, When I asked I was told it closed a year ago, then why is it still on the website? My irritation was ignored by the desk. The room was so cold, we cranked the heat up to 31C and the fan continued to blow cold air. When I called I was told to turn it off and they would bring up portable heaters. No, come and fix it. The technician came promptly and basically said the system was not working but he could turn off the cold air but could not fix the heat valve as ”his boss hadn't shown him how”. He would bring a portable heater. BTW I heard other guests complaining at breakfast about the cold. I would have cancelled my next night booking but that meant not having a room between noon and 4 PM, not exactly the point of staying two nights. The one, and only one, redeeming factor was the breakfast complimentary for us as gold Hilton Honors, otherwise $14 and $18. Our server was also very pleasant. Check out - the clerk was so unfriendly and dour, not even asking if we enjoyed our stay. This trip has undermined my faith in Hilton, as we have not had a good stay this year, and we have spend 10 nights in Hiltons.

I was very satisfied with the double bed for the first time, but this time the single bed was shocked. The toilet is half as big as last time. The soundproofing is also poor, and it doesn't feel like the same hotel as before. Maybe the top floor hasn't been renovated yet. This time the room doesn't deserve 800 RMB at all

Excellent stay and great staff at the hotel. Rooms were really clean and all other complimentary services were great. Hotel is also close to downtown Halifax as well as main streets where you have easy access to all amenities

Positives: - Convenient location to the Halifax Citadel and the harbor, 2-3 blocks each way. - Good hot water - The room itself is old with limited electrical outlet, but the hotel installed extension cords and additional electrical outlet bases on the nightstand and on the desk to make charging easy and convenient. - The room was also dark due to its original design and age of the building, but the hotel brought in more lights and evenly spread-out the room to ensure no dark area/spot, which I appreciate. Negatives: - Hairs found on top of toilet and floors of the bathroom, lots of short hairs, disgusting - Watermarks on the coffee table and nightstand - Many pin holes on the walls and wall papers - When raising the dirty bathroom issues to the hotel, they sent an inexperienced person, Jared, over to help but the issues did not get resolved and made false accusations about me being rude to him when I was speaking at my normal voice and sharing cleanliness issues. - Toilet dripping all night - Booked for VIP package but did not get VIP service in both room quality and condition as well as staff attitude (particular from Jared) other than waiving the self-parking fee. - When speaking with the hotel manager about the issues after Jared's inability to solve it, the hotel manager plain outright told me over the phone that he did not care how I felt and was not willing to help solve the situation, and sided with his employee, Jared, who had negative attitude and accused me of being rude to his employees. And deflating the real issues, which is disgusting and unclean floors with many hairs. And made suggestions on using towels to ”cover up” all unclean hairs and dirty floors in the bathroom. - The hotel did not own up its own responsibility when dropping the ball on cleanliness and got defensive, worse yet, turned around falsely blaming me for being rude and treating hotel employees badly when it's them who started negative attitudes. Other: - Check in staff, Stella, was efficient but came across as impatient because she kept on cutting me off before I finished speaking. - Olga, the second check-in staff, was more cordial - There is no valet parking. The closet self-parking is across the street, no parking right underneath. In other words, if you sign up self-parking with the hotel, they will send you to a large parking garage across the street, and the hotel will provide you with an instruction slip on how to find it and find your way back to the hotel lobby. The parking garage entrance is on Albemarle St. If you follow hotel's instruction slip carefully, you should find your way back without issues. Always remember where you park. Or just ask people around. The walk from where you park to the hotel lobby is at least 10 minutes assuming you don't get lost. You would cross a big indoor food court and a walkway and escalates before getting back to the hotel lobby. The hotel shares parking structure with Hotel Halifax across the street. - No breakf
