Homewood Suites by Hilton Halifax-Downtown, Nova Scotia, Canada

Overall the whole family of 5 loved it. We had a king suite with 2 rooms. King bed, 2 queen beds and a couch. Clean and cozy, the view is tremendous. Staff is very polite and helpful. Breakfast lacks healthy variety options but overall was good. The air conditioning system was a little loud in the room, on and off during the night, but bearable. There was a stairway from parking to the entrance , which had some traces of drug/homeless people activities, so be careful at night, not to encounter it. Pool is very small and shallow, good for small kids inly. Overall, very nice. All good places are close by and walking distance. And there is no 13 floor))

Simply wonderful. From the front desk staff to Karen in the breakfast area to the cleaning staff, they went out of their way to make our stay memorable. We were there only one night but wished we were staying more. Absolutely the best customer service and huge, lovely suite equipped with everything and more. Will definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

I’m a frequent visitor to this property for work and am never disappointed. ||Originally being from Halifax, the staff always bring that warm east coast hospitality that never goes unnoticed, and that I miss so much. ||The hotel and rooms are incredibly clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The views from|most rooms have a great view, whether it be of the harbour, Citadel Hill, or the Halifax skyline. Complimentary breakfast is included with your stay, and there is something for everyone to enjoy. ||The hotel is within walking distance to literally everything, the location is perfect!

We had a wonderful stay at Homewood Suites by Hilton Halifax-Downtown, Nova Scotia. The hotel is modern, clean, and very comfortable — perfect for both short and long stays. Our suite was spacious and well-equipped, with a full kitchen and all the amenities needed for a relaxing experience. The complimentary breakfast was delicious with plenty of options, and the staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. The location is excellent — just a short walk from the waterfront and major attractions. The only minor downside is that parking isn’t included in the room rate, and there’s a $30 daily charge for it. However, considering the comfort, service, and convenience the hotel offers, it’s still a great value overall. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Halifax!

We stayed here for three nights while in Halifax. There were five of us so we had a two bedroom suite. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, and one had a king size bed, the other two queens: perfect for us. There was also a kitchen (no oven though) and a small living room. It was not inexpensive, but comparable to an AirBnB (at least in our searching) that was downtown and included parking.||We had no issues with parking but there seems to be cars parked everywhere later at night, so I wonder if there are enough spots.||The hotel is very clean and nice. Our room was huge, clean and very bright with both bedrooms have many windows: both were on the corner of the building. We found it to be very quiet and everything (wifi, tv, hot water) worked well. Location is great as well, downtown and maybe a 10 minute walk to the boardwalk.||One area of concern. As the previous reviewer mentioned, we also saw a mouse running around the breakfast area one morning: turned us off having the complementary breakfast! Upon telling the young lady at the front desk about the mouse, her response was "did you actually see it". Not sure how to take that: we wouldn't have said anything if we didn't see it.||Anyway, hopefully they have that issue under control. If so, this is a great place to stay in Halifax.

We came for the olympic curling trials and the location was fabulous. Easy walk to everything! The rooms were great and the staff were always friendly and helpful. Kudos to Karen who took time to talk to us and start our day of with a smile. |Thank you all for a great stay.

This is the best hotel I have ever stayed at. It is amazing, the rooms are very spacious they have amazing views of the Halifax citadel the rooms are very quiet and you get underground parking with the room. There are a lot of things to choose from in the breakfast and the dining room is HUGE. If I remember correctly there is a pool but I didn't go to it. Even thought I did not go to the pool I bet it was amazing considering how everything els is amazing. The hotel isn't too luxurious but it still feels like your in a luxury hotel.

Came on vacation for 10days and stayed here. It was a nice hotel for the most part. Cleaning staff was very friend and willing to help. They have a pool area but no hot tub 😕. Also they make you pay for parking which I found ridiculous at $28 a day. Not giving a discount for long stays at the hotel. For the price of the hotel and the amount of days stayed here some type of discount should have been offered. See what happens at check out on Sunday

My husband and I stayed at the Homewood Suites on our recent trip to Halifax. We were happy with our stay. Our "One Bedroom Suite" had a king bed, desk and TV in the bedroom. It had a separate living room, with another TV, chair, sofa and coffee table. The living room was open concept with a small dining table for 2 and a kitchen with a full sized fridge, a dishwasher, a microwave and a mini stove with 2 elements. The bathroom was 2 rooms, one with the toilet and bathtub and the other with the sink. The suite was very spacious and served us well. Our suite was clean. Those who follow my reviews will know that even long before the Pandemic, I always wiped down all hard surfaces with Clorox wipes when I stay at hotels and I judge their cleanliness by whether the wipes remain white or are all soiled with God knows what, or grey with dirt. I am happy to report that my wipes came out clean. Staff were pleasant, but we had limited interaction with them. We only stayed two nights so did not request housekeeping. We had 4 bath towels for the 2 of us, 3 hand towels and 3 face cloths, so we did not require any additional towels. My husband's hair is super short, so with the 2 bars of soap and one bottle of shampoo, we were fine for toiletries. I had the conditioner to myself and we never use the body lotion anyway. The breakfast is buffet-style and free with your room rate. Both mornings we went down right when they opened at 6:30am and the food was hot and ready. You can bring the breakfast back to your room to eat (they just reminded us to remember to bring back the plates and cutlery, lol). There's apparently a pool and a gym, we used neither. We just took the stairs to our room on the 4th floor the entire time as our exercise, haha. The Homewood Suites might be a bit tricky to find as you can't really see it from the street. Turn when you see the Hampton Inn. The Homewood Suites is behind the Hampton Inn and they are in fact connected to one another. They share the same parking lot. We've stayed at the Hampton Inn before and the two hotels I'd say are comparable. I'm not sure if the Hampton Inn has suites as well, but when we stayed there we only got a room (no kitchen or separate living room). Honestly, we didn't use the stove, microwave nor dishwasher during our visit, but I could see it coming in handy if our stay was longer or it would be good for families with kids. We did make use of the dining room table though. It's so much nicer to eat takeout at a real table instead of at a desk or coffee table, lol. My husband, the king of hotel loyalty points and discounts, was able to get us the room for about $100 a night, but the going rate was about $275/night. Just a note that the hotel is up a steep hill from downtown Halifax. So if you will be walking around downtown Halifax and/or by the waterfront, walking back to the hotel will be a workout. Everyday will be Leg Day, lol.

It seemed decent enough when we checked in. Spacious rooms with a kitchenette. However, it took an hour at least to receive our extra bedding for the sofa bed and after we finally received it, we discovered that the dishes were not washed at all in the dishwasher from the previous visitors. Fortunately, the hotel manager came over and quickly got us the room across so we could move in. Therefore, I would give them 3 and 1/2 stars so this as we could just move across quickly.

Hotel is in the early stages of neglect. Perhaps it's because of covid and short staffing but there were definitely some issues. We stayed for a full week. Here goes: -the suite itself is a great size. Very spacious. -the kitchen is well enough equipped with the exception that the hotel doesn't provide any cooking oil, salt and pepper like an AIRBNB would -there are no dish towels or anything a person could use to tidy up. -the suite was kind of dirty. Gross finger smears on the wall next to the toilet, dust, dirty bathroom door, black streaks all over the floor from the ottoman -forget getting clean towels, toiletries etc without a huge hassle. We tried calling down to both house keeping and front desk with rarely am answer. When we did get through it would take a minimum of an hour, one occasion 3.5 hours and once not at all. Every time they would tell us the towels were in the dryer The POOL Haha okay so first of all the DOOR to the pool is broken. You can get in but you can't get out! You have to go through the gym to leave. -the pool itself is comically small. We literally burst out laughing when we saw it -the tiles above the water line are FILTHY. -the water itself was murky. -the small pool is shared between TWO Hotels. We were able to go swimming once in the whole week because whenever we tried it was full of kids. -16 floors. 2 elevators. TWO. More than once we gave up waiting and just took the stairs -the breakfast IS decent though nothing special. Factory made pancakes weren't heated at all. There are eggs but they're pasteurized. If you're not too picky you'll be pleased Overall our stay was pleasant enough. However for 2000 dollars for a week I expect higher standards. Would I stay there again? Mmmmaybe? If the prices weren't so high and I knew the pool was what it is.

The sheets are old, wrinkly and no longer fitted on the bed. The rooms smell like food from other rooms that travels through the ventilation. We requested a top sheet for the sofa bed and it took forever to get it. Check in: there was only one person working and she was on the phone and there was a lineup. If this is Hilton quality, Hilton sucks!

The breakfast was amazing ! Beds were so comfy and the view was spectacular! We stayed on the 12 floor in a suite for 8 people and it was great beautiful sweet all the amenities where there and the staff was so helpful. The only thing I would change is the tub had a hard time draining in one of the bathrooms in the suite and they had forgot to change the garbage can in the kitchen it still has some trash in it but easy mistake the rest was all up to par would recommend for sure oh also the pool was great very accessible for wheelchair

My review here is based on the price of the hotel and what I feel a hotel in this league should offer. Overall this is a beautiful new building and we stayed in a beautiful suite with lovely view and kitchen. Compared to many hotels it was great. Recently however, I had just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in the Ottawa area and enjoyed the 24 hr tea /coffee area. I was excited to learn this hotel had this as well, upon going to get tea /coffee I realized there was no milk or cream kept out (unless it's breakfast). For such a fancy hotel they gave the guests bottled coffee mate which is an unhealthy oil based product that does not need refrigeration .. When I inquired about if there was real milk or cream I was made to feel like it was an odd request. A very kind man went to the kitchen with a key to retrieve the cream but his coworker said they "weren't supposed to do that..." My husband went down later that day and was also made to feel awkward asking for real milk... The Holiday Inn kept their milk and cream out chilling all day like Starbucks so I was very very disappointed here in their system and don't think it should be called "24 hr tea and coffee" if there isn't milk and cream! Second, I found the bedding to be rough and currently as I write this I am at another Holiday Inn Express and the sheets and duvet are remarkably softer... I am not sure again why they used cheaper sheets here but as a person with sensitive skin I had trouble sleeping with the sheets touching my skin here and at this hotel I am snuggling up to them. The breakfast was very nice though very busy, I enjoyed many of the items. I wish the fruit was fresh and not in a syrup. This hotel is a good location for downtown, we were staying here because we were moving and already lived in Halifax so we weren't tourists. The air conditioning is nice and new and the building is very clean.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay here last weekend. The service and staff was fantastic. Friendly and helpful, everyone from the front desk staff to the cleaners we ran into. It really felt like they wanted to make your stay as relaxing and worry free as possible. The room was big, clean and comfortable. I love that it had a full kitchen, living room, king size bed and a big glass shower. They also offer a free breakfast each morning with hot and cold food. Being vegan there wasn't as much for us but we still managed to have toast or bagels or English muffins, fresh fruit, juice and potatoes. The dining room is also very comfortable and spacious. I really was impressed with the service. Early check-in was no problem and when we asked about late check-out since we needed a place to keep our luggage, the girl at the front desk said we could use their luggage room instead if that was sufficient. My only disappointment was the size of the pool, very small and shallow but we lived. ;) Also a good location as it is right in Halifax, the view from our room was overlooking citadel hill. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again if need be.

This was a very nicely run place. They were on the ball with helping me with reservations and directions. Room was spacious and nice. There was a party making a lot of noise. I called front desk. It stopped very quickly. Parking rate seem a bit high for the area. Conveniently located in walking distance to lots of places and the water. Can't ask for much more.

Very happy with Homewood Suites, rm 904 had a harbor view. Self Parking is a bit of a pain in the neck and $20 per day. The room was large and very quiet. Front desk staff was very helpful with directions. I would stay here again.

This hotel is awesome! From the great location, friendly staff and amazing suites- I couldn't be happier. I arrived with my three girlfriends and we were treated like royalty the second we walked in. There was free poutine dinner and a free breakfast for us when we woke up! We also got a complimentary upgrade where we enjoyed a huge suite (1 King bed, 2 double beds and a pull out double!) overlooking the water! I will only be staying here if I stay in Halifax again!
