Top Government House Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Halifax Downtown

8/10 Good

"I thought I was getting a view of the water but instead just a building and construction."

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."

Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel restaurant was excellent, fair prices and good food. A lot of things in walking distance to do made it very convenient. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The only thing for improvement would be to have both elevators in use because one was out of service and made it very crowded or a long wait with just the one elevator."
