Top Shakespeare by the Sea Hotel Reviews

The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"There is a discrepancy between rooms on hotels.com vs the assignment at hotel. I reserved classic 2 queens and was given classic double (1 bed). The front desk was accommodating and found a double bed room. The hotel is in great location, directly across from Public gardens. Staff was helpful & friendly. Nespresso and complimentary bottles of water provided. At the top of the hill (from waterfront) which can seem difficult at end of day of being tourist. Would definitely stay there again."

The Halliburton

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable bed. Helpful staff. Mediocre breakfast"

Prince George Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice clean and comfortable room. Good location. Just be aware that it’s at the top of the hill and about 6 blocks down to the waterfront."

Red George Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely accommodations & great walk ability! The owners were engaging and friendly offering wonderful advice for the rest of our adventures!"

Four Points by Sheraton Halifax

8/10 Good

"This hotel is ideally situated for people wanting to walk around what’s on offer in the Nova Scotia. However, it is a little dated and it’s quite noisy in the rooms most of the rooms face onto the front of the street and starting very early in the morning. There is a lot of truck traffic as the containers are being offloaded at the docks very nearby. I don’t think asking for another room would’ve made any difference as the majority of the rooms seem to face the same way,if not, they are very close to the side road, so the noise would only be marginally lower. It might’ve been a nice touch to visitors if there was something in the rooms to let them know of sites worth seeing in the area, possibly some restaurants, cafés, or bars they may wish to visit. It’s quite an expensive hotel for what you get in my opinion"

Cameo Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"H"

Residence Inn by Marriott Halifax Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Très propre, bel accueil, tranquille."

Cambridge Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was extremely clean, breakfast was very good with many options, and the location was perfect. We found places to eat within a short walk and the hotel is right across from the Citadel."

Courtyard by Marriott Halifax Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"A great hotel, in a good location, with excellent facilities. Clean rooms and generally a well presented hotel. I down grade the maintenance because one of the two available lifts was out of action for all of our stay at the property and little seemed to be being done to get the lift back in service. Breakfast options were limited and pricey but the food was excellent when it arrived and plentiful. Overall a good place to stay, don't hesitate to book."
