Guests can order a breakfast box for $15 per person with a choice of up to five items including yogurt parfaits and banana bread. The hotel also offers a happy hour in the library and garden courtyard for evening relaxation.

Pier 21, the Canadian Museum of Immigration, is also a 10-minute walk away. Halifax Citadel is a 15-minute walk, and Scotiabank Centre is within easy walking distance.

“The Halliburton charms with its historical character and prime location near Halifax's waterfront and attractions; its unique townhouse setting and hidden courtyard stand out. While its layout includes stairs, and some may find the bathrooms compact, I find the regional cuisine and personalized service make it a worthwhile choice for a Halifax stay.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Halliburton from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise The Halliburton's fantastic location, within easy walking distance of the Halifax harbour, pier, and farmers market. The rooms are generally comfortable and clean, with some featuring a fridge. The breakfast option is appreciated for its generous portions, though some guests have found it requires ordering the night before and is not included in the room rate. A sunny garden view has been a highlight for some, and the free parking and outdoor terrace add to the appeal.

charming inn stay

excellent location short walk many restaurants
the location is excellent. the waterfront is a short walk away. many restaurants are also within easy reach. the complimentary coffee in the lounge was a nice touch..
my room was cold because there was only central heating. i could not adjust the temperature myself. the available outlets were limited and occupied by lamps.

some concerns

missing mugs cold breakfast
i was somewhat disappointed. the coffee in the room was not replenished properly (mugs were missing, so i could not use the keurig). breakfast arrived without cutlery, the scone and bagel became cold as a result. contacting the front desk was difficult, often requiring a walk to reception in another building (this was not ideal).

fantastic downtown location!

great location friendly staff comfy bed
the hotel's proximity to the waterfront and downtown was awesome , i walked everywhere. the staff was super friendly and helpful with my luggage up to the third floor. the room was clean and the bed was really comfy.
the hotel is spread across three separate buildings and the entrance hall to my room had a musty smell. it was a bit concerning , and i hope they can address this to improve the guest experience.

small room sticking door
The breakfast offered was really good I appreciated the variety.
The room was quite small the furniture seemed too large. Access to one side of the bed was limited no bedside cabinet was available on that side. The bathroom door needed maintenance it stuck and was difficult to open or close. I found the overall experience a bit disappointing given the price.

decent Location, outdated Room

The location was fantastic. I could easily walk all over downtown from there.
The room needed updating BADLY. The bed felt old. The decor resembled my grandma's, untouched for 50 years. Plugs were inconvenient.
