What guests think

At Cambridge Suites Hotel Halifax, travellers praise the central, walkable location near the Citadel and waterfront, consistently friendly staff, and spacious, generally clean suites that work well for families and longer stays.

Many also note the property is older and looks dated, with worn carpets, occasional odors, hallway or event noise, and maintenance issues like slow drains, tricky temperature control, and small, dim bathrooms. Breakfast is appreciated for being included and offering fruit, eggs, and staples, but meat costs extra and seating can be crowded. Facilities feedback is mixed: there is no pool, the hot tub and sauna are often described as old or underperforming, the gym is basic, while the rooftop patio is a popular perk. Parking is paid and can be tight, and nearby road construction has complicated access for drivers; expect a convenient base with helpful service and practical space more than modern polish.

The disappointment of thing was the pool as there is no pool and the barley work g hot tub !! For a hotel located down town and the prince point it is pretty down right embarrassing to have a old hardly functioning hot tub The other night I thought I give it another try and was with another couple it stopped working and we could not get it to go again at all !! Not that there was any hers really any way but it’s pretty uncomfortable sitting in a pool of hot water with other people it’s just feels like a community bath tub !!

The room was clean and the hotel was nicely decorated. However, the water from the taps in the room had a strange smell. If I was to describe it, I would say it smelled swampy. The hot tub in the fitness room had at least 5 broken or missing jets, so the pressure was not great. And the sauna wasn't all cedar, the seats looked to be pressure treated wood. The continental breakfast was alright, but you had to pay extra for bacon or sausage, which we found odd. Also, on our last morning, a hockey team walked by us while we were eating telling their friends that a mouse just ran by them while they were getting a muffin. So, I don't think I would stay here again, despite the excellent location downtown. I mentioned the issues to hotel staff at checkout. They said they would have a talk with the food staff.

They need a new hot tub the one they have barely works it’s just hot water no jets and when it stopped working could not get it started again several people tried but the buttons so old and broken would not turn on.

Room was clean, they called shortly after arrival to make sure that we had everything we needed. Hot tub was dated and the jets hardly worked but it was clean. Would have been nice if there was more than just the bathroom mirror since there were 3 of us in the room.

Average chain hotel, nothing special. It's quite old with old furniture, old carpet and wallpaper peeling off the walls. Our room 506 had an old dirty window which simply needs a replacement. Other than that, the bed sheets and towels were clean which is a big plus for me. Location was quite central as well.

Front desk staff were very kind and the check-in/check-out process was smooth and easy. The room itself was spacious and the bed extremely comfortable. Breakfast had a good selection. My only complaint is that my room was not serviced during one of my nights despite hanging the sign on the door (but it might've been because I left the hotel closer to noon instead of earlier in the morning). Otherwise, I had a fantastic stay and will be returning during my next trip to Halifax.

We have stayed at Cambridge suites for over 20 years and things remain the same - great check in, big suites designed really well, decent breakfast, perfect location, but also the same are the carpets and the furniture. This is the first time where we’ve stayed that there was a significant musty, smell walking into the room that didn’t go away. The furniture has seen better days and the pillows were really hard, although the bed itself was comfortable. I would love to stay here again in the future, but I do hope that management is looking at making some upgrades because they’re very much in need.

The hotel location is great. Downtown and close to the night life. However, we found a COCKROACH in our room! I brought it down to the front desk and advised that we found it on the window sill. I got a call from the front desk in the morning, advising me that they were removing my parking fee which was $13.20. Then proceeded to charge us for bacon at breakfast. I asked for a discount off my room but the said because I paid through hotels.com, they could not provide me with any discount off my nightly stay.

Room was uncomfortably warm. Called for maintenance who told us we needed to keep the thermostat down. That was not the problem as it persisted for the duration of our stay. Room was in rough shape. Dusty walls, no cutlery for a suite, poor painting job, empty body wash, phone didn’t work to call front desk - had to use cell phone, parking was limited. Breakfast was limited despite still available for another Hour. The only silver lining was that the housekeeping and breakfast staff was responsive and friendly. Pretty disappointed.

Hotellet trænger til en modernisering. Elevatorerne virkede ikke et par gange under opholdet og det tog alt for lang tid med at få dem ordnet. Især en asiatisk medarbejder i receptionen var meget uhøflig og virkelig ubehøvlet, hun burde ikke arbejde i servicesektoren. Ellers okay, men det har ændret sig og der kunne sagtens blive som før i tiden.

We came in on a super early flight, stopped by the hotel to see if we could leave our bags till check in and they got us in early which was amazing!! The room was super clean, breakfast great. Overall everything was amazing. Will definitely stay again and recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Halifax!

This was a nice stay the night before we headed out on the Cabot Trail. The room was cute and comfortable and clean. Our room was on the third floor and had a view of the water. We were looking for somewhere to stay where we didn’t have to drive for dinner and this location gave us options. We decided to eat at the restaurant at the Telegraph House and are so glad we did, our meal was exceptional. Check in and check out were easy and staff was friendly. This was a great choice for our overnight stay in Baddeck.

Location

Central downtown by the Citadel and within walking distance of the waterfront, restaurants, and attractions; the walk back is uphill. Ongoing road construction has caused noise and made access and parking more difficult.

We chose this place because its in the perfect location to explore all the museums and heritage sites that we wanted to see. We used the underground parking garage for the 3 days which was lovely to have a safe secure spot and not have to worry about the car. Everything you need is with walking distance. Would recommend to anyone visiting Halifax for the first time, like us.

Spacious and located in a very nice area. Walkable to local landmarks especially for people new to the city. Get ready for a few hills though if you want to head to the waterfront. The restaurant is mysteriously rarely open and breakfast was underwhelming. Staff were all very nice and we appreciate that they let us check in early. Lots of great restaurants nearby and it was a little quieter since it wasn't so close to the harbour.

Overall our stay was very nice. A couple things to note - parking isn’t free, it’s $25 per night. We were not made aware of this until we arrived. The breakfast is lacking quite a bit. We could never find seating, and it’s not a full breakfast, with alternating options on each day. For example, first morning we were offered eggs and hashbrowns, and the next morning there were pancakes instead of hashbrowns. Other than those concerns, this is a very nice hotel. It’s pretty old and needs some renovating, but it’s more than acceptable… especially with its location.

Waling distance to harbour front, The Citadel, entertainment and the various F&B outlets. Would stay here again.
