Was here for natal day. Great location, great value, an easy walk to everywhere. Room wasn't huge, and bathroom had a shower stall only, but it was well maintained, nicely decorated, and clean. Breakfast was but fine. Parking is free! Located in a quiet treed residential area: there is a busy street on one side which might have been noisy.... More

We stayed 2 nights at the end of our Nova Scotia tour in august 2009 and have absolutely no complaints. Rooms were clean, breakfast was plenty and good, the hotel had a bit of an old charm to it which I really like. Would stay there again if I ever return to Halifax, and I hope to. Not having elevators... More

Overall, this was a pretty good place to stay. Definitely one of the more affordable options in downtown Halifax, and with free parking, free breakfast, free wi-fi, etc. it is a good value for a room in the city. The rooms are a bit basic, and it's an old building, so you will hear people moving about. To me, this... More

We booked for three nights but left after one. Our room was on the top floor so getting all our bags there was a bit of a challenge. We found the room all right but the fruit flies bothered us all night. I have never experienced a fruit fly problem in a hotel before. The room could have been cleaner... More

Unfortunately, when open fruit and wine is kept in the room, there is very little we can do about fruit flies in the summer months - they go where they can get food. We're very sorry for any inconvenience this caused. More

We stayed in two separeate rooms on two separate nights. The first night was a last minute stay and the only thing available was a basement room... we payed $80 and it wasn't worth much more. The room wasn't overly musty but there were water stains on the bathroom ceiling and around the window trim. Bed was fine and the... More

We stayed four nights at the Commons Inn in Halifax. It's the 2nd cheapest hotel in town. We stayed first three nights in a Deluxe room. Everything was all right : flat screen tv, micro wave, fridge, coffee maker. Parking and continental breakfast are included. Only one thing to respect : have the room made before three o'clock or it... More

This is not a 5-star luxury hotel with hoity-toity amenities. But this is a great little inn centrally located with amazing customer service in a world where that seems to be lacking. Pros: great location--literally 5-10 minutes near Citadel and about 15 minutes to downtown/boardwalk; we loved the colorful houses in the nearby neighborhoods. Great free breakfast (toast, pastries, fruit,... More

Stayed here while attending a conference and had no real dramas whatsoever. I chose to stay here because the price was very cheap and I was a last minute booking for my trip. The place is a bit of a quaint old looking joint with not a lot of frills. There was nothing fancy but everything was quite nice. Bed... More
