Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Halliburton is frequently praised for its excellent location, within walking distance of the waterfront, Halifax Harbour, pier, and the farmers market. Guests appreciate the spacious and clean rooms, with comfortable beds, and some note the lovely courtyard/garden as a relaxing feature. While some guests have mentioned that the hotel being an older building means you can sometimes hear noise from other rooms or corridors, many feel the free parking behind the hotel and having a fridge in the room add to the value and convenience.
