We reserved the most expensive room ( a suite), and it was worth every penny. The room was spacious (it was actually two rooms) and very clean. The service was excellent...the person who checked us in even helped carry some bags to the room. The weather was very hot in Halifax, so the air conditioning was welcome. The bathroom had... more

This hotel is very neat and clean but because of the service I will never stay there again, and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. There was a mistake with our booking, and the employee at the front desk was very rude. The manager, Jeffrey, wasn't helpful at all, and didn't return my phone calls. When I finally spoke to him,... more

The front desk clerks were very friendly and informative. I stayed for only two nights and so had one afternoon to see the city. Comfortable, functional accommodation close to downtown Halifax. We could not have expected more. Clean rooms very well staffed. Free internet. Continental breakfast included. Will stay again when I come back to Halifax. more

The desk staff,particularly Dan & Michael were very helpful & kind. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to potential visitors,and will stay there on any future visit. more

Staff were friendly, internet available in the front hall, and it was within a... more

My wife and myself needed a two-night stay in Halifax, as the first point of interest on our journey to Atlantic Canada, and wanted it to be inexpensive, yet conveniently located close to the downtown and with all simple amenities (breakfast, en-suite bath or shower, free Internet and free parking for a car). After realizing how expensive staying in Halifax... more

I have just returned to Ireland after spending a week at the Commons Inn. I was a bit worried before going as I had read some reviews that weren't good. My room was very comfortable with a tv and fridge and a nice clean shower room. The room was serviced each day and kept well. I enjoyed the breakfast each... more
