Grand entrance plenty of teak, marble and brass to give it a regal feel but; the gate to the hotel parking was broken, the ice machine on our floor was broken, there was no fridge in the room and the pillows are very hard. The hotel parking is shared with other hotels and apartments, it's very crowded and cars are... more

My husband and I just returned from a three night stay at the Lord Nelson. The first two nights were uneventful, but the third night there was a very loud wedding party going on in the main floor lounge. We called the Front Desk from about 11:00 p.m. on, asking that the music be turned down. It was thumping through... more

We enjoyed our stay at the Lord Nelson. Our suite was upgraded to a garden view unit, the desk, security and housekeeping staff were professional and prompt, parking clean and safe, and the overall level of comfort was excellent. We always prefer staying in classic hotels, and the Lord Nelson is a nice example of such. more

I'm not a hard person to please but if your entertaining staying here please reconsider. I stayed here on a business trip, after a long day I just wanted to sleep. I entered the room and took a shower rate away. I watched a bit of mindless television then went to bed. The bed was indeed comfortable, so confortable I... more

This is a comfortable well situated hotel in the heart of the city and 10 minutes walk from the waterfront. Staff are friendly and helpful, rooms comfortable although the view from many is not outstanding. Cannot comment on food service as we did not eat in. Lacks a pool but otherwise a very enjoyable place to stay. more

We stayed here for our honeymoon with the Romance & the City Package which we felt was a great deal. For $175 a night you get a studio suite , $75 gift certificate for Onyx or Gio restaurants and a bottle of wine. As we were there for our honeymoon they upgraded us to a large 2 room suite with... more

Although the service was excellent and the bed was very comfortable, I found the overall experience to be nothing spectacular yet was charged at a rate that seemed exorbinant compared to the size of the room. The restaurant was horrible as I ate there four times over the course of my stay and only once can I call a meal... more

Lovely old hotel with character, hotel parking, nice pub, great location in downtown Halifax. It was wonderful to be within walking distance of a beautiful park, the Citadel, some interesting historic graveyards, and nice restaurants. We definitely recommend it. more
