Hotel Details

Location

Downtown Halifax, a 7-minute walk from Casino Nova Scotia and less than 1 km from the World Trade and Convention Centre.
Situated in the heart of Halifax, the hotel is within easy walking distance of the harbourfront, Citadel National Historic Site, and Scotiabank Centre. Halifax Stanfield International Airport is 30 km away; the 320 bus stop is a 7-minute walk, providing direct access to the airport and downtown. Nearby restaurants and cafes include Propeller Brewing Company (0.5 km), Seven Bays Bouldering Cafe (0.5 km), and The Local Restaurant and Bar (0.5 km). The hotel is up the hill from the waterfront, which means a gentle incline on the walk back. Parking on site is possible but requires advance reservation and costs CAD 28 per day.

Accommodation

Compact rooms with private bathrooms, walk-in showers, parquet floors, and flat-screen TVs. Studios add a kitchenette.
Rooms feature a private bathroom with walk-in shower, free toiletries, and hairdryer. Each has parquet flooring, heating, and a flat-screen TV with streaming services. Room options include family rooms with two beds, quadruple rooms with bunk beds, and studios with a fully equipped kitchenette (stovetop, microwave, kitchenware) and a dining area. There is no closet; storage is through open hooks on the walls. Some room types have a small fold-down desk and a folding chair. Air conditioning is available but can struggle to maintain a consistent temperature, and some units report a compact layout. For longer stays or those needing to unpack fully, the limited storage may feel restrictive; the studios offer more functional space.

Dining

American cuisine served in a modern, romantic setting at Bar Moxy. Breakfast available for CAD 16.
Bar Moxy serves American cuisine with a romantic ambience. The restaurant offers a bar, snack bar, and wine/champagne. Breakfast is available for an additional CAD 16, with continental and vegetarian options. The lobby also features coffee and tea in the mornings and a selection of grab-and-go items. For light meals and snacks, the lobby's snack bar is open throughout the day. The surrounding area offers numerous dining options within a five-minute walk, including Field Guide, The Local Restaurant and Bar, and Edna, all at approximately 0.5 km.

Wellness and Leisure

Free fitness centre with a massage chair. Social lobby with games, DJ nights, and an outdoor terrace with fire pits.
The hotel provides a free fitness centre for guest use. The lobby transforms into a social hub with a variety of games including Pac-Man, foosball, Jenga, chess, checkers, Cards Against Humanity, and Uno. Evening entertainment often includes DJs, karaoke, and a nightclub atmosphere. There is an outdoor sun terrace with fire pits and comfortable seating. A games room is also available. These facilities are free to use and popular with guests of all ages, offering an alternative to staying in the room.

Facilities and Services

24-hour reception at the bar, free Wi-Fi in public areas, luggage lockers, and a business centre. Pets allowed (charges apply).

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a higher floor room or a room away from the lobby to avoid noise from the bar area and live music.

  • 02

    Book parking in advance via the hotel; on-site paid underground parking requires a reservation and costs CAD 28 per day.

  • 03

    Use the free luggage lockers if arriving before check-in or departing late, allowing for hands-free city exploration.

  • 04

    Consider the studio or quadruple bunk room if travelling with family or a group, as these offer more functional space.
