The Lord Nelson was a great stay in Halifax. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and I slept well. Its location is great, in walking distance of the Citadel, restaurants, bars and the waterfront. All of my interactions with staff were great - they were friendly and helpful.

Beautiful historic hotel with very friendly staff. Not cookie cutter like so many big chains. Park with beautiful gardens right across the street and the Citadel a very short walk. 20 minute walk to great waterfront restaurants and close to University and old historic churches and buildings to look at on the way to the waterfront. Highly recommend!

My flight was cancelled for the next day. After quickly looking for hotels in the city, I chose this one. Their prices were not much higher than any everyday accommodations so I grabbed it. Lovely hotel, fabulous staff from check in to check out.
