The Barrington Hotel

A comfortable stay.

We arrived after an early morning flight and we were very pleased when they allowed us to check in four hours early. I’ve stayed at the Barrington every time I’ve travelled to Halifax but was very disappointed with the condition of our room this time. It was clean and the beds are comfortable but it’s very outdated. The hot water smells very earthy, like bog, didn’t even like to shower in it. We resorted to using cold water as much as we could. The heat in our room also didn’t work, just blew cold air. Maintenance did come and look at it on our first night but it still didn’t work. We were out of the room most of the day and didn’t want to deal with changing rooms later in the evening so we tolerated it. We ended up going to bed early every night because it was just too cold to stay up. We also saw a mice in the hallway and in the tempo restaurant. Unfortunately I probably won’t choose this hotel again, which is disappointing because it is so conveniently located downtown.. The staff in the hotel and restaurant are excellent!

Comfy beds

Staff is very friendly! The hotel location is amazing! It is the poerfect choice if youo are looking for a place that is near everything in Downtown Halifax.

Staff was helpful

Great location excellent in every way unless you want to Park. There is no parking in downtown halifax

Didnt use and didnt have pets

great and affordable hotel.

Proximity to the central business district

It’s an older hotel, clean but outdated. Pool is old and cold and sauna was down but all in all it is a comfy sleep.

Dont like the parking zone besides that exellent

The rooms were clean but old and in need of updates. The pool and the sauna were in disrepair. The staff was friendly.

On site restaurant is great:)

I was really hoping for a relaxing stay, but unfortunately, the experience was a major letdown. The biggest issue was the noise; the central air conditioning system was incredibly loud, kicking on with a heavy rattle that made it difficult to sleep. This was compounded by a very uncomfortable bed—the mattress felt worn out and lacked any real support. The room itself felt quite claustrophobic due to the surprisingly small windows, which let in very little natural light. To make matters worse, there is no complimentary breakfast included, which is disappointing given that the price is quite high. For what I paid, the value just isn't there. You can easily find other good hotels in this price range that offer better amenities, more modern rooms, and a much better night's sleep. I definitely won't be staying here again.

Good staff , good service

Dated but always a comfy bed and great location

Best

Clean room, wish it had air conditioning.

Awesome location

The beds make a lot of noise when you turn around. The room wasn't what we reserve, big désappointement. Hotels.com said we had to talk to the front desk and they didn't do anything. Big disappointment with both services.
