The history of the place, wonderfully preserved in the elegant decor and furnishings. The service was impeccable, the staff always ready to answer any questions or requests, professional and friendly. The very generous breakfast you can decide to have the night before 10 pm, to eat in or to be boxed in. The delightful patio and the easy parking in the back. And the amazing location close to the waterfront, the Maritime Museum and the Canadian Museum of immigration, market, downtown restaurants, bus to the airport etc...

Our room was very big and sunny and lovely, but the bathroom could use some upgrading.

This was my second time staying at The Hallburton and I had a good experience both times. Staying at this hotel is like staying at a friends house or a B&B - the rooms feel homey and so does the building itself. Rooms are very clean. Having a glass of wine in the evening or a coffee in the morning in the library room with the fireplace is lovely. The location is great and is a fairly close walk to the waterfront as well as most other places downtown. The staff are friendly and accommodating. My room was upgraded which I really appreciated.

Decor is a bit dated but does not take away from the cleanliness of the hotel or rooms. It also kind of adds to the character of the inn.

Hotel in the centre of Halifax close to the boardwalk and harbourfront. Wonderful atmosphere superb room. I would definitely stay there again if I was in the area.

It’s not fair to say this really, but there is no food other than a breakfast box which you have to order before 10 pm so you will have to eat locally where there are many choices. A small comment that might be useful to the property is that on the amazing bed there are four lovely pillows. To my taste, they were just a little on the hard side so it might be useful for the property to change two of them to be softer and leave leave the other two. For example, my wife likes a harder pillow, and I like soft. very picky and this does not detract from the property in any way at all. If they change none of the above, I would still give this 10 out of 10.

We had a very pleasant stay at this property, love the outside garden back behind the property. Had a wine in the evening before going out to dinner. Lovely touch. Also impressed with the general fit out of the property. Felt special staying there. Able to have a wide choice of restaurants and the little convenience store was able to meet out needs. Parking was ideal and felt good to be able to leave the car and move around the city on foot.

Would like a map in the room noting the convenience stores and locations generally of restaurants.

Breakfast was very nice. Check in easy and they helped us carry our bags up the two flights of steps. The upgrade to one bedroom was unexpected and lovely. Nice garden out back as well as small roof patio. Room was large, super clean, nice furniture, comfy bed and pillows. Fridge in room as well as coffee pot. Free coffee in lobby. Lots of places to eat close by. Super nice and very handy to budget car rental and the via train station.

Only thing better would have been if there was elevator but we knew in advance there was none.

FYI We were remiss for not asking staff if we could have better (softer, less sold and thick) pillows. The pillows were the worst either of us had ever encountered. We improvised by using a pillow-slip covered throw pillow and a down jacket. We loved the location, staff being present, non-smoking inn, free parking, and the heritage vibe. It felt like a typical English Herotage inn and that was what we were looking for.

It was lovely to have a birthday drink in our room when we arrived. The desk staff were excellent and the small room where coffee and tea were served was elegant . We also had a lovely glass of wine in that parlour before we went out. There was a little library that had lots of books to borrow while one was there.Umbrellas were provided for inclement weather and the location was outstanding.

We liked everything.

I arrived in the evening og 09/22 and was greeted by the most personable receptionist that I have ever met. Her 'can do' attitude and warm personality was wonderful. I was left thinking that this young lady would be an excellant example of customer service to some of the bigger chains. Very nice continental breakfast.

I couldn't get the coffee machine to work, though that was very likely my lack of experience with these machines.

The Halliburton is a lovely place to stay - the rooms are all different and vary in size but are all furnished to a high standard. If you are interested in an experience that is more boutique than chain the Halliburton is hard to beat. It is conveniently located with onsite parking. Common areas are really charming and staff are friendly and professional.

If you cannot manage stairs this may not be for you.

We were able to walk everywhere we needed to go, so, for us the location was perfect. We were sorry we weren’t able to add a booking at the end of our visit. At first glance, the simplicity of the breakfast was surprising. It turns out we appreciated healthy and simple. We will definitely stay at the Halliburton Inn again and will recommend it to anyone.

We were placed in the adjoining building. There was an occasion when one of us had to return to our room during breakfast. With no access to the building without the outside key, the other person was locked out and couldn’t do anything. A second set of keys would have been appreciated.
