    by Aafia
    Back in the 1930's this hotel was built as a Canadian National Hotel and was considered quite grand in its day. The hotel has had its ups and downs since then. At the moment, it's a hotel that I really enjoy staying in. It is in an excellent location on the waterfront and if your destination is too far you can use their free shuttle service, which is a Hummer (for those who care). It has a friendly and welcoming staff. What I really like about this hotel is the following: the windows open, the rooms are cozy and the beds are so comfortable that I always have a good night's sleep the first night. There are coffee makers in the room but there's also a Tim Horton's close by so my husband can nip out to get me my morning coffee. Hotel rooms in Halifax are at a premium, so book as soon as you know you'll be travelling to Halifax.

    Location, excellent restaurants close by.

    • The Westin is locally known as the Nova Scotian which is what it's original name was. Large older hotel next to the Via rail station and Acadian lines bus station, the Westin is a popular place to hold weddings and formal events. Nearly 300 rooms, well appointed. All En suite. Hotel offers fine dining, a lounge bar and a cafe. There are even some pet-friendly rooms, ask when making reservations. Hotel is next to the train station as mentioned, also on bus routes and near a few good restaurants. Is at the south end of the downtown area but it's not a long walk. Hotel does have a free shuttle service. Also, behind the hotel on the waterfront is Pier 21 historic museum, the cruise ship docks, Pier 20 theatre and gallery spaces and access to the rest of the lovely Halifax waterfront. Specials and packages available, see website. Prices as low as $119 plus taxes and up. ($60 per person)

    high speed internet access in rooms, wifi in the lobby

    • This place is attached to the train station.

    The Westin is alright.

    The pool is really small with a deep-end that won't go over your head. The sauna has a glass wall and it is co-ed so you can't get naked.

    This hotel is overpriced if you ask me.

    The location is in an alright place. It is close to the waterfront so you can walk down the waterfront boardwalk.

    This wouldn't be my first choice of hotels but it is alright.

    The Westin Hotel is located along Hollis Street near to the waterfront boardwalk of Halifax and Pier 21. This hotel is very good and has impressive views of the harbour. The only problem is that it is not so centrally located, but still within walking distance from major attractions.

    Next to the Railroad Station (it has its own entrance to the station!) and close to Pier21.
    Somewhat away from the downtown action (10 minutes walk).

    Large, but nice friendly hotel close to the waterfront (and Pier 21), with direct access to the railway station concourse.

    We paid a bit more for a higher (8th) floor room with a view over the habour (and a small fortified island with a lighthouse). This was worth it just for the fabulous sunrise we saw on our first morning there.

    It is slightly out of the very centre of the downtown area, but no more than a 10-15 minute walk from the historic properties, for example (and a nice walk it is too - along the waterfront).

    We were really pleased with this hotel and the very friendly and efficient service they provided. It was an excellent first experience of Canadian hospitality.

    Direct access to the station (the small pale building with the portico which you can see in the picture).
    Close to the waterfront.
    Right by Pier 21.
