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.

dated decor small tv

my petite room was rather underwhelming. it was smaller than expected and felt quite dated. the decor seemed old fashioned. the tv was also surprisingly small for a modern hotel. i expected better for the price point.

The staff here are very friendly. The location is great. It's downtown. I loved that happy hour was offered too. I found it quite enjoyable.
