Homewood Suites by Hilton Halifax - Downtown

Room had a comfortable bed (not the sofa bed). Breakfast always had a good variety and the staff at the breakfast were very nice. They always made sure everything was well stocked.

First, we recommend to tell the incoming guests to take the Ped-walkway. It is so much easier and the hill up to the hotel almost killed my mom off. If we would have only known. We found it about day 4 into our stay. Got off to a little rough start. Came into a room with dirty dishes and several items still in dishwasher. Into our stay, we found the room comfortable but felt as if we had to detail out every supply we needed. Staff were noticeably trained not to be flexible. We ran out of toilet paper, Kleenex, lotion, body wash, shampoo, etc., and had to ask for replacement of each and every item. We asked two members where to put the trash as we carried it around the hotel. I had taken it downstairs by the laundry room and two staff told me upstairs. My driver's license was being mailed to the hotel for me from my home. It didn't arrive in time, so I asked the front desk (night manager came from the back (8/30/26) to forward in a prepaid envelope. The guy looked at me like I was a suspicious criminal and questioned me. He said, "well, we are not a postal service". I explained if it arrived, just to place in the prepaid envelope that I had given him. I felt like everything was made into a big deal if you asked for anything. Just not the hospitality we have come to hope for. On the positive side, the breakfast was abundant, well stocked and had plenty of choices. The quality of food was average. Staff helping the buffet were very nice. This is an average, comfortable hotel, just don't expect anything above the absolute least of standards. Oh, and evidently, they have a deal with the city to provide homeless families with the extra rooms. We met a family on the elevator that was there for some time. That's very nice but just be aware.

We had a 2 bedroom suite which suited us since my husband and I were travelling with our adult daughter so this gave us a good space. Both bedrooms were very spacious and we appreciated having 2 bathrooms. The kitchen area was good but there were only 2 chairs at the kitchen table. This wasn’t an issue for us as we ate out every day but would have been annoying if we’d actually wanted to eat in the room.

We didn’t particularly enjoy the breakfast - only went once. Felt a bit cramped.

Location was good

Pool was closed when it was supposed to be open. Hotel is looking old and needs to be refreshed.

Great location, spacious rooms.

Didn’t appreciate housekeeping knocking on the door at 8 am when checkout is at 11:00.
