I really like a proper old grand hotel so I enjoyed this stay. Room was a good size. Could use a plug nearer the bed but that’s a minor gripe.

Central position makes it appealing, but it is a bit dated and not well looked after. It was fine for a couple of nights.

Very strange room quite large with a very small double bed not as wide or long as a standard double Room was in the basement and you would not want to spend anytime in there other than to sleep. Staff helpful and we could check in early and location was good as you could walk to everywhere in Halifax. Ok if you just need a bed for the night as we did but not if you wanted to spend a weekend away and the hotel was part of the experience

Great central location if visiting the Piece Hall, friendly staff. Hotel is dated and a little run down in parts. Requested twin room and had a large room with a double and single bed in, bathroom large, complimentary toiletries, tea/coffee facilities, kettle very clean/new. Beds comfy and clean. The room rates reflect the standard of hotel, basic but all you need for a night.

After reading the reviews we were quite anxious about what to expect. Overall we had a good one night stay. The bedding was clean. Its a beautiful building but could do with a big renovation. Would probably not stay again. Didn't pay much, so didnt expect much.

Firstly location is great as very central - easy reach of train and bus stations, shops etc. Staff friendly and informative. Room was very clean and had a fan, tea and coffee. Furnishings are dated but serviceable. Bed was very comfortable with soft pillows. Bit of a rabbit warren getting to room up and down stairs. There is a lift but it's slow. Would stay again as such a great location.

This property has one purpose-you need one night in Halifax and you have no other options. I will say the location is good for getting to the train station. and you will want to get to the train station to escape this property. Wi-Fi was beyond terrible, which made the TV useless. My “city view” room had a lovely view of a dirty alley and because there is no A/C the alley smells waft in. Everything in this hotel is old and dated and badly in need of upkeep. Bare minimum and I mean Bare Minimum. You got me once, but never again, and I am warning you dear traveler stay away from this place! Hotels.com should have some minimum standards for listing a property so shame on you as well.
