Top South End Hotel Reviews

The Barrington Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Walking distance to everything. Busdepot is right next to the hotel. Airportbus # 320 drops you off right at the hotel. My room was spacious and very clean with a city view ( Queensize) I loved their indoor swimming pool. They don’t do the rooms every day. I stayed there 8 nights and they only did my room one time. This was ok with me but if you want everyday housekeeping this might not be the hotel for you. I would recommend this hotel to family and friends and I would stay there again. I just hope they will improve the coffee which is provided in the room,"

Cameo Hotel and Suites

8/10 Good

"Everything was great - room was clean, check in was smooth with minor hiccups (no fault to the property or set up lol), but nothing unmanageable. Given that the property is right in halifax, parking can be tricky if you have a car and have heavy luggage that you have to trek with you. So be prepared for a ticket on your windshield even if you are 8-10 minutes over the time."

The Halliburton

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed staying in this historical property close to the waterfront. Staff were extremely professional and polite. We had read reviews so we’re not surprised at the stairs to our 3rd floor room and separate townhouse style of the hotel. If you have any mobility issues I would recommend requesting a ground floor room. The patio area looked lovely tho we had a short stay so didn’t experience it. Appreciated free parking and local recommendations for eating."
