  Very nice suites. It's not luxury by any means but if your looking for really good service and a very nice place to stay, with a great restaurant and amazing food and drinks. Then you won't be disappointed. Go on tourist off season as I'm sure it can get quite busy here.

  Every staff member seemed like they genuinely cared about us. The cleaning staff even knew our names and greeted us in the hallways. Front desk staff were unanimously friendly and helpful. Well worth the small premium for outstanding service.

  We love shooting at the Prince George Hotel! As wedding photographers, we can 100% say this venue is awesome. The decor is beautiful, the food is excellent, the staff are extremely helpful, and the all-around experience for any of our couples that have booked this as their venue has been top-notch. We even shot a wedding here during hurricane Dorian and they were seriously prepared. Didn't even lose power, and we took advantage of all the pedways to get still get awesome portraits! We highly recommend The Prince George as a wedding venue - you won't be disappointed!

  King size bed was incredibly comfortable; plush and firm. The glass shower head was directed to far wall for start, appreciated that touch. Valet during off season at $34 was very reasonable and quick professional service. City view executive room was spacious and we loved rhe perks of Terry robes, snack room access, wine red and white (in fridge) in room for additional cost of $29 were delightful bonuses. We had a nightcap at the levelbar; the dessert and drinks were a very fine luxury. Get the makers rule on the mule cocktail! Especially pleasant treat... eggs Benedict option for breakfast buffet (included for suite stays and only $9-10 to add), yum!! Service was really 👌 🔥 impressed with all the staff we encountered during our stay. Good help and great service has been such a rarity post covid.

  Phenomenal all around! I can’t say enough good things about this establishment. Many in nova scotia should take note. I would give it more stars if I could. Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing rooms, amazing location.

  Excellent hotel, the suites are very nice and great for an anniversary or special occasion. But you get what you pay for too. Disappointed that at the price I'm paying for the room, the parking was extra. Views can be good depending on the room. Ours looked at the Keg.

  Great location that's within walking distance of everything in downtown Halifax. Room was spacious and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room came with a complementary breakfast but due to COVID was closed. It was honoured at their restaurant and wasn't to be billed to the room. Upon checkout it was billed to us but a quick call to the front desk got that all sorted out. Would recommend.

  This hotel has been located in perfect sport. Walking distance to everything. They have the best roof top restaurant which we really enjoyed. Their pool is pretty fun as well. Nice and warm pool water.

  We stayed here for eight days in May 2022. The rooms were great. The pool and gym were also good. The location is close to many restaurants and bars and a liquor store. I feel like we didn't take advantage of the amenities... We only realized that there was a concierge at the end of our stay. 🤷‍♂️ We were at the restaurant only once for breakfast. It was just kinda ok, but definitely convenient. Room service was really good. Order the chicken club sandwich! We were initially frustrated talking to the (younger) front desk staff who didn't offer many suggestions in terms of where we could go to eat other than suggesting to "walk around and check things" out for ourselves. However, we did end up chatting with Craig, who sometimes worked the front desk, and he was incredibly helpful, charming and made our visit much better by offering specific suggestions. Anytime we saw him we were sure to ask him questions because of his very good and helpful advice! Seriously Craig, you are really great at your job. Thanks so much for your help throughout the week ☺️

  My daughter's wedding was at this hotel. Everything was lovely. The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. The wedding cake was late arriving and the hotel provided a cake for cutting, the Wedding cake arrived in the nick of time, but still the set up staff were so considerate and went above and beyond. The meal was beautifully presented and delicious. The outside patio was roomy and had nice plants for background for photos, there was also a cityscape for photos as well. A very clean, very lovely hotel, I'd recommend it for Weddings, it is also well placed for touring Halifax.

  Even the entry level rooms are beautifully appointed, include a mini fridge, iron and ironing board. Beside the bed is a docking station for devices making it handy to charge in the night. Our 3rd floor room had peak-a-boo views of the water. The happy hour in the lobby bar and outdoor seating area is a great perk. The white wine on the menu is good, the food choices are really well priced with large portions. We were especially impressed with the shrimp salad and steamed mussel offerings. This hotel is well priced and well placed for walkability in the city. A great choice!

  My girlfriend and I went for a weekend to view the amazing city of Halifax. We had a really nice girl named Emma who worked the front desk check us in and she gave us some fantastic suggestions for classic east coast fare. The room was clean and the beds were soo comfy! My only complaint is we found the breakfast area to be pretty expensive so we went down the road instead. Overall, the staff were super friendly, the parking garage was easy access from the street, and the hotel was at a perfect spot to tour the wonderful city. Thanks again Emma for the suggestions on best places to visit and eat! We had such a great weekend.

  Snuck away for a night without our kids to celebrate our 5 year anniversary! The Prince George made it memorable. We utilized the valet services which was reasonable, quick, and very friendly. The location was perfect! We went for a swim in the morning and the pool was the perfect temperature. We also enjoyed the best eggs Benedict! 10/10 and we can't wait to return.

  Our stay at the Prince George was our third in the past year. This time, it was in the king executive suite. It was definitely worth the money. The room was very clean, spacious, bed was comfortable, and the whirlpool was fantastic. The service was top notch from all the staff we encountered. Our breakfast from the buffet was fresh and delicious. My wife has already talked about returning. :)

  We were able to book a room here last minute (after a bit of a disaster at another hotel). The staff were really helpful in finding us a room and at reception. The room was clean and the bed was very big. We didn’t have much time to explore the hotel but it had a nice looking pool and gym. It’s very centrally located and was easy to walk from the hotel to the water. Would definitely recommend for a stay in Halifax!

  Overall I had a comfortable stay. The hotel is showing some signs of age, but nothing concerning or off-putting. The mini fridge in my room made a terrible high-pitch noise when it would run — the type of noise that feels headache-inducing. I ended up unplugging it at night before going to bed so that I could sleep undisturbed.

  Had a nice stay at the Prince George but I was surprised that they didn't have any food or snack options for a guest before 4pm. I was hungry and I had to leave the hotel to go find food. Additionally the rooms were not clean enough for my liking. The bathroom vanity mirror was covered in dust and so was the tissue box. Gross to be honest.

  This is actually a very nice hotel. Our room, although a bit small, had something I rarely find - TWO comfortable club chairs. It also had a nice harbor view. BUT - the hotel put two "authorization" charges on my credit card - incredibly, one of them was for $1.63. It has been more than two weeks since they did this, and my calls to the hotel have been fruitless. I have had to initiate a dispute with my credit card company, and it is yet to be resolved. I find this totally unacceptable.

  We stay at the Prince George for its location. It's within tens to a few hundred metres of everything. If coming for hotel amenities, on the other hand, then maybe stay somewhere else, unless you happen to snag a Prince George room at an Hampton Inn price, which is possible. If you go by first impressions, then the Prince George will disappoint. The street level is stuffed with paid parking and a taxi stand, so if the three spots in front of the hotel are full, as they were for our visit, then you are stuck as there was no concierge or valet on duty. Once we parked and carried our bags inside we were surprised to find the lobby absolutely empty, except us and three staff standing behind computers at the reception desk. We went to the one not talking on the phone and was advised one of the other staff would check us in when they were available. Best to leave the hotel if looking for a bar, restaurant or even breakfast. There is a bar, but it is a shoe box behind the elevators. There is a restaurant, but it was closed to hotel guests due to a private function. There is a breakfast area within the lobby, but for $50 per couple you'll do much better within tens of metres of the hotel and frankly it wasn't that much better than the complimentary breakfast you get at some American-style hotels. Maybe it is the pandemic - the stripped down service and indifferent attitude. We had a much better experience when we stayed at the George pre-pandemic. Hopefully, one day it will find its former self.

  The staff was great - quick, courtesy and efficient. Both on check-in and check-out. The bar and wait staff great, as well. The lobby was beautiful. However, our “deluxe” king was pretty basic. It was dingy. There was obvious water damage around the window. And around the ceiling in the shower. I won’t bother to go in for the deluxe king if we decide to stay there again.

  Stayed at the Prince George for our anniversary. The room was well appointed, however, there was garbage on the floor from the last guests (food wrappers, bottle caps). The walls were paper thin, and the guests in the next room partied until 4 am, wandering the halls between rooms, yelling, one was slumped against the door of their room in the hall. We finally got to sleep, only to have the same noise start again at 10 am. Staff were friendly and helpful at check-in. Overall, I wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a nice stay for a special day, suggest paying a bit more and staying next door at Sutton Place.

  Have to share...Hotel was clean and that was all! It was our very first time visiting Halifax, beautiful city, however the racist undertones we felt/experienced during our entire stay at this hotel was mind blowing! We did not feel welcomed at all, and we we so uncomfortable from the beginning. Always dreaded coming back to the hotel each day. How we hoped for the option to seek another place for accommodation but unfortunately was stuck. We are frequent travelers but never had such an awful & hurtful experience during any hotel stay until now! Sad to know that such behavior is still so blatant in 2022. Of course we will never go back and will never recommend this hotel...
