The good: Great location, beautiful public areas, upscale. The bad: Older, dated, bad bathrooms. It's a great place to stay downtown, across from the park, but one must realize that it's an older hotel and is a bit dated. If you can get a good rate, under $140, I'd take it. More

I stayed here for one night while in town for business. Clean rooms, very friendly and hospitable staff. Rooms and the hotel are a bit outdated but it's clean (most important factor for me when I travel) and provides everything you need. Friendly staff and concierge. Hotel offers later check out (1pm). Amazingly comfortable beds. Great heating system. Free wireless.... More

Central location. Best location downtown! French, I came to Nova Scotia for 3 weeks away from home (Paris, FRANCE) and I felt right at home. The old fashion look is breath taking.

I have been coming to Halifax for over ten years, and have stayed in practically every hotel and B&B and this is the only place I immediately return. The best staff. location,history, rooms. Do not experiment with others. Go straight to the LN! More

It is in a great location, but many of the rooms are VERY small and plain. The staff are great, Halifax people are friendly. The Pub was great, great Fish and Chips, Seafood Chowder. The rooms were COLD! The windows are not good quality. More

The location is nice as it is just a short walk to the shops on Spring Garden Rd. and the beautiful Public Gardens. The staff is always very friendly and helpful and I love the interior of the building. I stayed at this hotel several times but the last time I stayed I became disappointed. The rooms are very small... More

This was my second trip to Halifax and after a somewhat mediocre stay at the Delta awhile back, we were put up at the Lord Nelson. Much better choice! It's a grand, old hotel, with a beautiful lobby that smells like jasmine and all the amenities you'll need. The service was great, and it's in a nice central location (right... More
