We always love to stay at the Cambridge as it's central to downtown Halifax.

Breakfast is good.

Overall, the hotel was decent. The room was clean and comfortable, and all of the staff were kind, professional, and helpful throughout my stay. The location is excellent and likely a major factor in the hotel's pricing. That said, the property feels dated and could benefit from some renovations. My shower drain was partially clogged, which was disappointing. For the price point, I also expected more in terms of room amenities than the basic mini bars of soap and lotion that were provided. The breakfast was another area that fell short. The offerings were largely the same each day—muffins, scrambled eggs, beans, and hash browns—with mini pancakes available on one morning. While the food was acceptable, the variety and quality did not align with what I would expect given the cost of the stay. Overall, the hotel has a lot going for it, particularly its location and staff. However, updating the rooms and enhancing the amenities and breakfast experience would make the price feel much more justified.

The breakfast was great

My daughter and I loved the family suite because the living room and kitchenette were totally separate from the bedroom, so if one of us couldn’t sleep, the light wouldn’t bother the other. Breakfast was plentiful with more variety than most hotels I’ve been in. They even included hummus and veggies in addition to a huge bowl of freshly sliced fruit including watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe and pineapple, depending on what was available that day. Staff was always friendly and polite. The location was excellent, within walking distance of many downtown attractions although they were down a relatively steep hill. Would definitely stay there again!

Good

The hotel is so well situated, pretty much in the centre of everything you could wish to visit with a theatre round the corner and plenty of restaurants, bars and cafes nearby as well as having easy access to the boardwalk and harbour area. The citadel is pretty much over the road and gives easy access to the Garrison grounds for festivals, concerts, etc. The tours we took (Anchor) picked us up and dropped us directly at the hotel. We had a fantastic time - the included breakfast was substantial and set us up for the day. The hot choices included oats, scrambled egg or omelettes (alternate days), boiled eggs, hash browns and beans. Bacon and sausage were available at an extra charge but not pushed for sale. There was also yogurt (plain available on request), fruit, granola, muffins and bread or bagels for toasting. Our room was spacious and immaculately clean, as well as well equipped for self-catering if we wanted to do so. Our housekeeper was very friendly and helpful and provided a kettle for us and extra bed linen/blanket on request. All staff were very helpful and all went the extra mile - reception, restaurant, housekeeping. We felt well looked after The rooftop seating area was a wonderful space to sit and chat/meet with other guests. The gym looked well-equipped and the sauna/hot tub area was lovely. The building could do with a little updating but there was nothing that stood out as being poorly maintained/looked after. We would happily stay there again!

Staff was helpful and answered our questions and provided us with the things we needed (umbrella, safety pin). Breakfast was practical and good.

The King Suite is large, comfortable, and relaxing. Front Desk staff were all so helpful - especially Chavri. The breakfast is good but busy. A fantastic location right by the Citadel and short walk (steep!) from the harbour.

Great staff

THE ROOM WAS CLEAN AND BREAKFAST WAS GREAT .

Eddie at the front desk was awesome...very accommodating and helpful.

Hotel is old. Beds are too soft and the front desk staff charged me twice for my stay. There was major complications with the check in process. Was charged on my visa debit 50$ plus the room at check jn and then was charged again on check out and because it's a Visa Debit, it's going to take 7 to 10 days to get my money back. There is no need to charge a guest twice. Charge on the way out.
