The rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable and the furnishings in the room are pleasant wood, good quality. The front desk staff was helpful and even printed paper directions for driving to Cape Breton. The location is within a 5-10 minute walk of almost every tourist interest point, shopping and dining and the waterfront. The hotel is attached to a good restaurant that is open until 10 PM.

The location of this hotel was perfect. It was in walking distance of everything we wanted to see and do downtown. The price of this hotel was more affordable than others in the area as well. And the staff were very helpful throughout our stay. The restaurant served a delicious breakfast and coffee, which was a great way to start off our day. Most importantly, the bed was comfortable and clean. We didn't hear any outside noise at night, so we had a great sleep. And the bathroom was nice too. I would stay here again for the price, location and comfortable sleep.

The hotel is perfectly located in downtown Halifax near a great pub called The Split Crow and restaurants and it is very clean and comfortable throughout. The Queen room and the bed were very comfortable, spacious and pleasantly furnished. Tea and coffee making facilities are in the room. Nice breakfast available in the on-site Tempo restaurant which does not belong to the hotel but you can walk straight into it through the hotel lobby. Tempo is also open most evenings for dinner. Very nice swimming pool, pleasantly warm, which was usually not busy mid afternoon. Staff very pleasant and helpful and were responsive and dealt well with any requests that we had. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Halifax. Can't comment on parking as we arrived in Halifax via airport bus with the bus stop being very nearby the hotel.

Room was spacious and quiet. Location was great as we were able to walk everywhere from this location. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The floors outside elevator on 2nd floor were mopped at least twice a day. Didn't really need, but wonderful to see this care and attention to cleanliness. We were able to walk a short distance to bus stop that took us directly to airport. The Tempo restaurant on main floor is exceptional as well both food and service.

The location of this hotel is excellent. I was attending a conference in downtown Halifax. It was walkable to the conference, and also to many restaurants and other amenities. There's a pedway to the Scotia Square Mall, which conveniently has a pharmacy with decent hours, and other food and retail shops. The hotel is also just up the hill (big hill, wear comfortable shoes for walking up and down it!) from the Halifax Waterfront, Historic Properties, and the Ferry Terminal to Dartmouth, and down the hill from the Halifax Citadel Historic Fortress. The hotel is also conveniently located on several major bus routes, so getting to other parts of the city by bus was very easy too. The hotel room was clean, with the usual amenities. There's no hotel breakfast, but there is an independent restaurant and cafe on the lobby level. There is a commercial fitness centre in the lower level, and the hotel has a fitness room also. My room, was in the Business Suite section, which gave me access to a nice Business Suite lounge.

The Barrington is one block from the last stop on the airport bus, #320. Compare the bus price, $4.60/seniors $3, with the taxi price, $72.00! The location was really good for me. On the west side of the hotel a sky bridge accesses Scotia Square, with its food courts and the Enterprise Car Rental (I stayed at the Barrington a couple nights, rented a car for a few days, then returned to the Barrington). On the east side a sky bridge leads from the hotel over to the waterfront boardwalk.

Check-in was great we had to check-in early, and the room was ready. It was our first time traveling to Halifax, and I think we were lucky to get such a great location. We could walk to many of our needs

Super location for walking around. Parking is a pain (in Scotia Square), but that's to be expected downtown and we walked more than we drove.

The rooms, though a little old with their fixtures and furnishings, were very clean and comfortable. I never felt like I was staying in a "cheap" hotel or one that's best days were behind it. The Barrington represented an excellent trade of value and amenities/comfort.
