The Westin Nova Scotian

The hotel was so nice. Modern and clean. The reception had iced flavored water and apples. We felt welcome. The sea view on the 10th floor we got was awesome (thanks Liz). The location was perfect with an Atlantic Real Canadian Store 2 minutes walk away for convenience shopping. The pool did not have that chemical chlorine smell. Definitely recommend.

The view from my room was wonderful and the room was quiet. The common areas are what you'd expect at a Westin so were pleasing. The staff in all departments were friendly and efficient. Something broke in my room, and it was replaced within 30 minutes. The restaurant was reasonably priced and the mussels were great.

The hotel is in a historic building so there are some challenges making it meet Westin Standards. Service was great! Location is fantastic. We stayed one night at beginning of our trip to NS and one night at end of our trip so we staid in two different rooms. Both times beds were uncomfortable. They definitely don’t use the beds found in US Westin Hotels. The carpets in both rooms needed to be replaced. Rooms are very small but that is because of the historic nature of the hotel. We did get a lobster roll and a salad at the hotel bar. Both were very good. Cocktails and beer selection are also good. Hotel bar isn’t a place that feels like you would want to hang out. Dark, not a lot of natural light. We came back from Dinner one night and they had WWE wrestling on the large TV. Interesting choice for a luxury hotel. Location just off the boardwalk is fantastic. Tons of amazing restaurants within a 15 minute walk. I think next time I will try the Marriott. The hotel seemed a little dingy. Not you typical Westin Standards. Indoor pool felt really dark and unwelcoming. Mostly because of the color they choose to paint the room.

Nice hotel in the heart of the downtown district of Halifax. In-house food and bar are great, with a breakfast buffet that is better than most, including eggs Benedict, which I've not seen in a buffet setting before, served out of Le Creuset pans! Staff and front desk are very courteous and go the extra step, providing take away coffee and drinks to take to your room. My room had a little musty smell to it, and the closet door kept closing every time I would enter, which controlled the light, so I had to use the ironing board to prop it open. Minor inconvenience but not acceptable for the price point here. Room was smaller than expected and the mustyness was disappointing. It wasn't strong, but enough that it was unacceptable for what I thought was a Marriott standard. I would stay again, as everything else was great.

I went for a conference and stayed an additional night to enjoy the city. The hotel is located just beside the Via Rail train station and in front of the port, where the cruise ships dock. It's just a 10 minutes walk to the busy seasonal vendors on the boardwalk. The room is fine but mine didn't have a microwave. The bathroom is extremely small though, but I guess it's the conference rate" kind of room. Everything was clean

When you choose Westin, you choose it because of its name and brand value. So you expect quality. I mean thats what I was expecting from this globally known chain. Well, I was wrong. Totally disappointed with Westin. I stayed there for 3 nights. The carpet in the room was old and dusty. Bed was ok, but what disgusted me was the toilet. It had spots from over the year usage. Even Comfort Inn maintains their far well. Westin made me realized that all that glitters is not gold. The only positive thing i have to say about their service is that they sent me back one item I left behind. But that came with a price too. I mean, charging $46 for a courier of 1lb box, seriously? I understand it was charged by 3rd party operator. Why don't you find a more customer friendly 3rd party courier then? Never going back to any Westin.

The hotel has friendly staff. The room was decent. The sink in the the bathroom didn’t drain properly so water would accumulate. The shower was difficult to turn on (you have to give a hard pull towards you) but the water pressure was great. Great location. I would stay again.

Hotel is very nice, were excited when we checked in. But the service the entire time time has been so slow. From checking in, they kept telling me our cards were being declined, so called the credit company and they said the charges were approved and it's the hotel system. But they just kept repeating our cards are declined. Everything is slow, breakfast has a line 30-40 minutes, even though lots of empty tables, maybe they were short staffed. Just no service here, probably wouldn't stay here again.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. This hotel is located in the heart of downtown where everything is easily accessible. It was a pleasure to stay in such a beautiful room with an amazing view.I was not pleased with the service on our first day of check-in, but later on, everyone was very friendly and helpful. The two boys who were at the gate helping everyone as well as the people who were cleaning the rooms were very kind and helpful.If you are planning to visit Halifax, I highly recommend this hotel.

Very kind and thoughtful staff. My family stayed while taking my son to IWK.The Gentlemen working front door where so kind and accommodating they even provided us with valet parking to make it easier getting in and out.Thank you so much
