I was at the Lord Nelson for a 3 day conference, but slept at another Halifax hotel where i am loyalty program member. This hotel is not handicap person friendly. I had to park on the second floor of the underground garage as evidently the hotel does not get to use the entry level. There are no elevators in the... More

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. The rates were competetive compared with other hotels in the area. The room was clean, comfortable & functional. It's close to the public gardens, bars, restaurants & a short walk to the harbourside!

As I now travel alone, I was looking for a decent priced room, and I found it at The Lord Nelson. It was touted as the smallest room in the hotel, but by European standards, it was exceptionally large. It was clean and updated, with a flat screen TV. The bathroom was small, but quite acceptable with all the wonderful... More

From the time that I made my reservation (spoke to some *at* the hotel rather than a booking service) until the time that I checked out, my experience at the Lord Nelson was nothing but great. The staff members in all areas of the hotel were friendly, courteous and helpful and the room was well appointed. I used the free... More

Whenever I stay in Halifax I stay at the Lord Nelson. The location really can't be beat. It's close to shops and restaurants, an easy walk to downtown, across from the Public Gardens and you don't have to fight with downtown traffic and one way streets. It can be expensive, especially with the high charge for parking but we got... More

Maritime hospitality can't be beat - the staff are incredibly warm and welcoming! The problem is that the hotel is very old and the rooms are not clean. My flight was delayed and I arrived at the hotel at 2 am - the top sheet had a large brown spot on it (it was soiled!). The heating unit (attached to... More

Have travelled to Halifax many times - but never stayed at the Lord Nelson (have always wanted to though) so thought we'd give it a chance. Check-in went well - arrived in our room and saw 2 double beds (had requested a King) - I then paid for an upgrade to a King. The room was ok (remote didn't work)... More

Overnight in Halifax for recent Leonard Cohen show. Lovely older style hotel close to just about everything. Friendly and helpful staff, comfortable bed, adequate sized room and bathroom. Could see a bit of the harbour but not much more from the room, but we weren't there for the view. Convenient location for walking all around downtown Halifax. ( ie Spring... More

Stayed here in August 2012 to conclude a Nova Scotia wedding trip. Booked two rooms, one for myself and other for friends (couple). My room was upgraded to a large suite. The room was very, very large and well decorated. The bed was very comfortable, pillow top. Bed sheets, soft and new. Pillows were larger (normal size) from other Nova... More
