The Doubletree by Hilton on Hollis Halifax Nova Scotia is a beautiful Hotel near the waterfront and central in the city for everything your heart desires. The hotel has no heat during the summer months and the room was damp and chilly at night. An electric heater was provided but as me being a senior lady the body felt the cold at night. Aug 2026

They advertise warm chocolate chip cookies but gave us stale chocolate covered rice crackers. Breakfast not included, which for the price really should have, and there were mechanical noises all night that sounded like there was a factory on the roof.

Amazing location, breakfast, front desk. I would definitely stay there again, but in a different room. The part of the suite that was carpeted smelled musty and wasn’t properly vacuumed. We had paid 650$ a night for the two bedroom suite and felt that for that much money it should have been much cleaner. Pool was extremely cold and not super well maintained.

An hour wait for breakfast was a bit long, next day it was 15 minutes

SUPER…très bon service chaleureux et très propre..

Really nice staff, room was comfortable and a good size, didn’t love the pool and hot tub, overall it was good and I’d stay there again.

Very clean room and amazing staff, they are really nice people , very friendly and helpful!!! 😊

Front desk staff were marvelous - friendly, welcoming, patient. I had a suite with a great view of the harbour. The layout was terrific. The furniture was comfortable, the bed was firm, linens were good. Valet service was very convenient. The passenger loading zone in front of the hotel is small. It can hold two vehicles comfortably but only if they are parked with consideration for other guests. When I arrived, someone with a big truck had parked obnoxiously (i.e., had not pulled forward to allow room for a second vehicle) so I couldn't pull in. As soon as the valet returned from parking another car, he was very helpful.

This was my husband's and my first time in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Hollis was a nice hotel, especially our room; it was quite large for two people, so we enjoyed the extra space. We ordered room service while staying, and the food was quite good, so check out The Cannery. The only fault of the hotel was that the fitness room/gym was not that impressive; it only had a few cardio machines and free weights. We have been to hotels that have had so much more. Overall, nice hotel.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The location couldn't be closer to the boardwalk, we felt right in the middle of the action and loved going for walks by the water. Also great that there is a grocery store right next to the hotel, for ready meals and other staples that helped us get through our stay. The rooms were fantastic and the views from our room were amazing.

Great location and a warm welcome on arrival. We were in a suite on the top floor and it was wonderful! Staff were friendly and helpful and the location was near everything. Would stay again next time we’re in Halifax.

There was't enough tea and coffee.

The perfect place to stay in Halifax. Highly recommend!

It was a great hotel and all the staff were very helpful!!

I want to get my receipt emailed to me.

Like so many others I rely heavily on reviews when booking but don’t always write them. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were fantastic, especially Abbie, and very accommodating. The gym is small but meets the need, breakfast at the restaurant was excellent and our room well appointed with a comfortable bed and even an umbrella to use. The warm cookies on arrival - yes please! The location cannot be beat - literally steps from the harbour front with a small grocer and coffee shop right across the street. The only little thing that we would offer consideration on is improving the hot tub - it was a tight for 4 adults and there are no true stairs from which to enter and exit. We would stay here again, no hesitation.

The staff are all very friendly and helpful. All the rooms are suites, which works well for us as a family.

Excellent staff and facilities. Use valet parking or walk from paid parking lot.

Excellent location to get to the harbour activities. Hotel is good but need a little maintenance. Our suite had water stains and a peeling ceiling. Great staff.

This was our first visit to Halifax. Hollis location can't be beat! Very close to all amenities, harbour front, and great restaurants. The front desk staff was amazing for directions and any extras we needed for our room. The Cannery restaurant in the hotel was very good for breakfast! The room was a great layout and allowed my daughter her own space on the pullout couch while I enjoyed my private bedroom. I wish we'd been warned about the constant traffic noise and construction which typically started at 6:00am. Ear plugs were a must for the week in order for a good night sleep. The rooms were very clean but could use some TLC. Missing closet door, torn wallpaper, shower curtains that touch the floor to prevent water everywhere. We ran out of kleenex and toilet paper and this wasn't restocked so we needed to ask at front desk. Very minor things that did not interrupt a wonderful trip to Halifax.
