The hotel looks a bit worn out
The hotel looks a bit worn out and could do with a refurbishment. Smell of stale cigarettes if air conditioning was switched on. Good breakfasts. Would not recommend to friends.

Convenient and comfortable
This was an excellent expereince, The hotel is very convenient to downtown Halifax. They were very helpful and accomodating in adjusting for the fact that our flight into Halifax had been cancelled, causing us to arrive a day later than planned. The rooms were in terrific shape. Be prepared, however, the Citadel Hotel is locted well above the harbor.

Vastly overpriced
Everyone working at the hotel was nice enough, but it is clear that the building itself is essentially neglected. The mattresses appear to be from the 1980s as do the sheets, chairs, carpet, and other furniture. The elevators are also extremely old and slow. The toilet in my room broke and I was consistently having to fish around in the back of it to hook the chain up to the pump so that it would flush properly. For the amount of money they are charging this is an absolute joke. The last time I stayed in a hotel this old and run down was in Bulgaria (and there at least the bed was more comfortable).

Excellent service, and ideal location
As a first time visitor to Halifax, I really appreciated the assistance given by the staff in suggesting places to visit, and organising tours. After a 6 night stay, I began to feel I was part of the hotel family. Breakfast in the dining room was a treat each morning. Comfortable beds, large, spotlessly clean rooms made for a great stay.

My booking was lost but the staff
My booking was lost but the staff worked at it patiently politely and had to wait in the meantime for the working day to get confirmation. . They took me at my word and set me up. I cant say enough about the staff. The location is excellent, close to all lactivities tourist would want and the whole package provided excellent experience.

Citadel Halifax
The hotel was conveniently located near restaurants and shopping in Halifax, near the waterfront. The room was OK, but had an unpleasant odor. Stains on Carpet and broken countertop in bathroom made it seem shabby. It was not inexpensive, and for the price I would have expected a better experience.

Well situated, pleasant staff. Somewhat dark and lacking ambience, but ok for a short stay.
