Our room was in a very tall old house. One of 3 that make up The Halliburton. It was very nice except for the stairs!! We were given a room on the third floor and there were two very steep narrow staircases to climb. If planning on staying there, be aware of this. If you have mobility issues you would not be able to climb these stairs. It is a long way up and down!

Did not like the pillows. Also, pigeons and pigeon debris all over outside the window of our room. Not enough accessible outlets in the room. Enjoyed that we could have a drink in the garden or the library provided for a nominal cost by the hotel.

great character
We stayed in room 206 at the front of the hotel and the room was a very comfortable generous size- included a sofa and two chairs. We enjoyed the outdoor courtyard and the included parking was convenient. The only reason it isn't a 4 out of 5 is the overnight street noise. While out of the hotels control of course, both nights we were woken up numerous times by trucks driving over the cross street and there being very loud metallic noises. Neither of us are light sleepers and are accustomed to street noise near hotels but this was very disruptive. You may want to request a room not on the front of the hotel.

We like staying in interesting places with local character and the Halliburton definitely fit the bill. It was also very well located for our purposes - close to the waterfront, easy walk to Spring Garden Rd and right in a bus route to the trendy North End! Don’t stay here is you want a ‘modern’ hotel experience - it will feel small and you won’t like the stairs. But if you’d like a lovely place to stay with charm and good location you’ll like the Halliburton!

A little gem close to so many of Halifax’s tourist stops. Loved the quiet patio in the back… a lovely place to pause from all of the walking we did. We took advantage of the pre-ordered $15 breakfast option and it was more than enough food for two each morning. Highly recommend this boutique hotel.

We rented a car thinking that we would need it to get around as tourists usually do. The only thing we needed it for was to arrive at their location and depart from their location. We were able to walk everywhere that interested us. It was a great stay

We booked a Petite room with a double bed for my wife and myself. Double bed too small. If one of the persons sleeping in the bed is over 5ft 11inches and weighs 90kgs and the other person is 5ft 7inches and weights 60kgs, then you will be in for an uncomfortable night.

Lovely, quaint hotel but very small rooms and a lot of stairs - a consideration when travelling with heavy luggage. Location is great!
