Very convenient location, friendly staff but the beds should have been replaced years ago. The hotel is due for some renovations in a few months so I understand that they don't want to put much money into the hotel before the work is done. However I'm not sure the beds will last until then. Otherwise the stay would have been perfect. I've never stayed […] in a hotel where all of the employees were so friendly. Read more

i eared that they will demolish this hotel to do 2 new high rise building, well let me tell you it showes, the hotel apparence looks very old and it need to be cleaned up

You're basic and I mean basic downtown pay for parking hotel. Minimalist environment, older facility bare kept up.. Try others before coming here..Basic US hotels offer a better environment hands down.

The overall experience with the hotel was excellent. Very one was great. When we first pulled up to the hotel, it looked like it could have used a makeover. But I guess what they "Never judge a book by the cover". Would clearly recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Very helpful staff. Left favorite jeans in room & the housekeeping staff returned them to me when I stopped to inquire if they might still have them - 1 week later! Within walking distance to downtown sights

The Citadel Halifax is an older building, but don't let that keep you away. We got a great price, it is walking distance from everything. The customer service was great and everyone was very helpful. This place met our needs, There was free internet access and many places charged 20 dollars a day. Looking for a place to rest your head at a good price […] this is what you are looking for.

The room was dated, the bed was old, the pillows were scary, the coffe maker did not work, the shower backed up, the air conditioner did not work- what more can I say this hotel should be avoided at all costs.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

overall, I found the Citadel good value for the money. It was very clean, the staff were courteous and the location was very handy to downtown Halifax. I will most likely use this hotel again for a return visit!

Came to this hotel about 7 years ago and again this week-- it is rundown now dark halls, peeling wallpaper dumpy- never again-

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Citadel is in a great location, has friendly staff and was a great value. I stayed in two hotels during my trip and i found the Citadel to be a good value compared. It is your basic hotel, so don't expect more. There is free wired internet, in your room. There is a shuttle service that stops at this hotel daily with trips to the airport. There is […] a fee for the shuttle, it's not free, but less than a cab. The staff was awesome. Again, no major frills, just a good value, clean hotel. I would stay here again. Read more

This hotel was in a pretty good location, a couple blocks from the waterfront and right next to Citadel Hill. The police station is right behind the hotel. The hotel itself was a bit old though and gives the impression that its dirty because its so dark and dingy. The restaurant has good food, but its a bit pricey.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Not a bargain but nice enough.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Had a great time

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel is nice, good service, clean room, great location; near bars, restaurant, casino, harbour, good size indoor pool and other more.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is very centrally located in the city of Halifax. We didn't require a rental car as everything was walking distance. Plus, the walking allowed us to burn off those extra vacation calories.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The new girl at the desk gave us keys to another room, & stated that everything was "fine" now. No, we had to move everything from the first room to the second room, meaning that we had to load all of our things on to the first elevator, go down to the main level, & then move everything on to a second elevator to get to our 2nd room. I realized then […] that we had been moved from the new section of the hotel to the old section of the hotel. There was no offer to help us move all of our things again. My companion wears a hip/leg brace & walks with a cane. There was also no offer for a wheelchair. We had been given a dingy, substandard room with an old double bed, about as far from the elevators as one could get (remember, we were exhausted, & my companion needs assistance walking). I felt this was a vindictive room assignment, since I had "complained" about our first room (I had been respectful through the entire discussion). There was no attempt on the part of the women at the desk that night to be helpful or understanding, & no attempt to make sure these 2 guests had a good night at their hotel. It seems to me that we could, at least, have been given a room with a double bed in the newer section. Instead, we were banished to the old section, to a substandard room, with an old double bed. The gentleman/ manager at the front desk in the morning was very apologetic, asked about the wheelchair we hadn't been told about or offered, & was sincerely sorry about our experience there.

This hotel is a bit of a 'faded lady'. Ideally situated but needs an upgrade and a more attentive front desk staff ie. listening is good but delivery is poor. Management, however, did listen and compensated. I would go here again as previous experiences have been good and while this time was disappointing it was not horrible for the price and the location […] is excellent. Read more

I have stayed in this motel , many times and have always been satisfied, i think the only complaint would be it would be nice, if they had the little gift store open in the lobby again, other than that it was great, very close to everything.

The staff were extremely hospitable - they deserve a 5 star. And its the center of the town, great local. Its an old hotel and they have done a good job with the upkeep. Unfortunately they don't have an open lounge in the lobby where you can sit down at any time and have a few drinks with friends. Overall a pleasant experience, I'll consider staying […] there on my next trip Read more

I did not appreciate that there was a late AND early checkout fee. To avoid these fees you need to checkout exactly at 12, which I thought was a tad ridiculous. What if you had somewhere you needed to be? Then you would have had to pay an extra fee for leaving the room early giving the staff more time to tidy the room for the next guests? I would not […] recommend the hotel for this reason alone. Read more

The Halifax Citadel Hotel is supposed to be knocked down and completely rebuilt starting February 2012. It seems quite dated in its current form and so it makes sense. Great location but it's clear they're not spending any more money on the place just ahead of the demolition.

Stayed 2 nights; good value with Expedia rate; however, parking was extra. Parking space was limited even though the hotel didn't seem to be particularly busy; however we were lucky enough to find a spot out front. Jessica, front desk clerk was nice enough to call our room to ensure we were finding everything after we reentered following a walkabout. We […] were there for a hospital appointment at IWK. Cab fare was reasonable and saved us paying all day parking and possibly losing spot at hotel. We had breakfast the 2nd morning - decent selection and prices and food was fine. Restaurant offers buffet lunches a couple of days a week. We couldn't schedule to try unfortunately. Hotel is within walking range of tourist attractions (Citadel, harbourfront, casino, pubs, restaurants etc). We would stay there again with favourable rate. Read more

The bed mattresses are so old that there is a dip in the middle of the bed. There also was a vomit smell in our bathroom, which was terrible. The people at the front desk were very pleasant though! Wouldn't recommend this hotel, due to this experience!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Location was great, but the mattresses were terrible and no one asked how our stay was. Service was great, had to pay for extras, like local phone calls, parking etc.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Lets See, To begin with: - The air conditioner / heater sounded like a truck and I did not sleep for the 2 nights I was there. - Light bulbs were burnt out - The tub did not drain - Carpets were dirty - The room smelled like sweat - The hotel in general was very run down - Plastic and Styrofoam cups? Really? After all this I did not even think […] about looking at the pool! Good Luck to you if you do! I will not be staying there again; yes the rate was good but even at a better rate it still would not be worth it. Pay more and go somewhere nice. As the saying goes, "You get what you pay for" So you are asking why did I not speak to a manager? Well if they do not care about there hotel to present a pleasant experience, they probably do not care about me! Good things: - Parking attendant was nice! that's about it So to sum up, I did not have a good experience and I do hot recommend this hotel. Read more

A great deal when booked in advance, this hotel had everything I needed for an overnight stay right downtown Halifax (except wireless internet in the room, a big downer). Although the hotel is scheduled to close in early 2012 to be torn down and rebuilt, the facilities, including restaurant, pool and fitness room, were all in fine shape. Best value […] for a real hotel right downtown Halifax (at least for now)! Read more

Meh. It was okay. Way too much money though for only being there for a few nights.

I've stayed a quite a few hotels in Halifax, but i think i've found my golden egg. I was impressed with everything from check in to check out. Eveyone there was plesant to talk to, even housekeeping made me feel welcome. The pool area is incredible and the room was very elegant. I will be staying again each time I visit Halifax.
