Top Discovery Centre Hotel Reviews

Delta Hotels by Marriott™ Halifax Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Good for a multiple day stay, restaurant is convenient and staff were friendly. Great location"

The Halliburton

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location and walking distance to many of the major attractions in Halifax."

Cambridge Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk staff were super helpful. The complimentary breakfast was fabulous-- more than typical continental breakfast and the fitness centre was well equipped. On top of everything, the location was perfect, across the street from the citadel and mid way between the harbour boardwalk and the public gardens."

The Barrington Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is an older hotel, and does have some very, superficial, signs of wear. Many moons ago, it was part of the Delta chain so has been very well maintained. Room was large, and don't get me started on how comfortable the bed is, I wanted to take it home! Not a major deal...and I would certainly stay here again! My only 'real' negative is there's no on-site parking. It's not far away, in the Scotia Square mall, and having my ticket validated wasn't a huge deal. I think it was more having forgotten about driving in Halifax (more than a few years since I drove in that city) especially on a night on a hockey game. The hotel is extremely centrally located so driving wasn't a deal-breaker, and Halifax transit gets to most parts of the city in good time."

Hampton Inn by Hilton Halifax Downtown

8/10 Good

"Location is up the hill from the waterfront so not good for some people unless you take the pedway(a series of overpasses). Buffet breakfast was good. Staff was good."
