The Doubletree by Hilton on Hollis Halifax Nova Scotia is a beautiful Hotel near the waterfront and central in the city for everything your heart desires. The hotel has no heat during the summer months and the room was damp and chilly at night. An electric heater was provided but as me being a senior lady the body felt the cold at night. Aug 2026

They advertise warm chocolate chip cookies but gave us stale chocolate covered rice crackers. Breakfast not included, which for the price really should have, and there were mechanical noises all night that sounded like there was a factory on the roof.

Amazing location, breakfast, front desk. I would definitely stay there again, but in a different room. The part of the suite that was carpeted smelled musty and wasn’t properly vacuumed. We had paid 650$ a night for the two bedroom suite and felt that for that much money it should have been much cleaner.

Pool was extremely cold and not super well maintained.

Front desk staff were marvelous - friendly, welcoming, patient. I had a suite with a great view of the harbour. The layout was terrific. The furniture was comfortable, the bed was firm, linens were good. Valet service was very convenient. The passenger loading zone in front of the hotel is small. It can hold two vehicles comfortably but only if they are parked with consideration for other guests. When I arrived, someone with a big truck had parked obnoxiously (i.e., had not pulled forward to allow room for a second vehicle) so I couldn't pull in. As soon as the valet returned from parking another car, he was very helpful.

This was my husband's and my first time in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Hollis was a nice hotel, especially our room; it was quite large for two people, so we enjoyed the extra space. We ordered room service while staying, and the food was quite good, so check out The Cannery. The only fault of the hotel was that the fitness room/gym was not that impressive; it only had a few cardio machines and free weights. We have been to hotels that have had so much more. Overall, nice hotel.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The location couldn't be closer to the boardwalk, we felt right in the middle of the action and loved going for walks by the water. Also great that there is a grocery store right next to the hotel, for ready meals and other staples that helped us get through our stay. The rooms were fantastic and the views from our room were amazing.

Like so many others I rely heavily on reviews when booking but don’t always write them. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were fantastic, especially Abbie, and very accommodating. The gym is small but meets the need, breakfast at the restaurant was excellent and our room well appointed with a comfortable bed and even an umbrella to use. The warm cookies on arrival - yes please! The location cannot be beat - literally steps from the harbour front with a small grocer and coffee shop right across the street. The only little thing that we would offer consideration on is improving the hot tub - it was a tight for 4 adults and there are no true stairs from which to enter and exit. We would stay here again, no hesitation.

This was our first visit to Halifax. Hollis location can't be beat! Very close to all amenities, harbour front, and great restaurants. The front desk staff was amazing for directions and any extras we needed for our room. The Cannery restaurant in the hotel was very good for breakfast!

The room was a great layout and allowed my daughter her own space on the pullout couch while I enjoyed my private bedroom. I wish we'd been warned about the constant traffic noise and construction which typically started at 6:00am. Ear plugs were a must for the week in order for a good night sleep.

The rooms were very clean but could use some TLC. Missing closet door, torn wallpaper, shower curtains that touch the floor to prevent water everywhere. We ran out of kleenex and toilet paper and this wasn't restocked so we needed to ask at front desk.

Very minor things that did not interrupt a wonderful trip to Halifax.

I recently stayed at The Hollis for 3 nights in Halifax. The check-in was swift and was even welcomed with a warm baked chocolate chip cookie which was a great way to settle in. Reception staff were very pleasant.

We were provided a beautiful suite with a waterfront view to the Halifax harbour and enjoyed this view. Unfortunately, the room itself was not as clean as we would have expected: the windows had a layer of dirt and were spotty throughout, curtains had moth holes all over, so, they did not as blackout curtains, the nightstand lampsahde nightstand had brown stains all over.

The gym was decent enough for a workout, however, the yoga mats were absolutely filthy with brown and grey stains and worn out--they really need to be replaced! Cleanliness was great in the lobby and hallways, but, everywhere else was substandard for a hotel of this calibre.

The most challenging aspect to the room was that the air conditioning did not work upon check-in until the next afternoon which made for a very uncomfortable and unrestful sleep and near impossible to work; reception provided a fan for us, however, it was just pushing hot air throughout the night. The next day, reception notified us that the air conditioning was fixed, however, it was not, so, once they sent the technician up again to fix it, all was functioning.

Unfortunately, based on cleanliness and climate control, I would not return to this hotel, however, it should be noted that their staff are kind.

While the front desk staff were lovely and got us checked in well before the 3pm check in time after our red eye flight, our delight ended there. The room was musty and not well maintained. Stains on the floor, lamp shades and ceiling - possibly water damage? Uncomfortable bed, no real amenities, and the room made me feel stuffed up and sore throat which disappeared as soon as we checked out. I wouldn’t stay here again.

I stayed at Hollies Halifax for 5 days. We arrived late the first day (Wednesday) and was told AC broken for the hotel. We stayed on the 9th floor ... flat roof with a day temperature of 30C. A hot stuffy room was our welcome! No windows at all. We requested a fan,. the fan was very loud with a broken nob that we cannot adjust. We had no choice but utilize the fan for air, but the fan was so noisy we cannot hear the TV. AC was restored on Friday! Aside from the fan issues, we like the location ... step away from the waterfront.

The Cannery had an excellent breakfast, happy hour and dinner menu and with great staff attention.

The suite was perfect and as advertised.

The staff provided a standing, oscillating fan for a couple of unexpectedly hot days where the sun heated up the windows and therefore the room. So minor problem solved quickly and efficiently.

The AC was broken in the entire hotel - none of the windows open - the room was so awfully hot that we did our best to stay out of it. Sleep was awful due to temperature. Looked forward to the hot tub after a long day of activity - the building was just much too hot for this to be enjoyable. The bathroom floor had a fine dust all over it like baby powder or drywall dust. The staff were very kind and did their best by bringing two small fans to our room.

One of the female front desk staff was short and made me feel very embarrassed.i think she was if Eastern European decent . Possibly Ukrainian . She processed the wrong credit card for payment without asking me and it was denied. Which I knew it would be because I only have a $500 limit on that card for the purpose of being wrongly charged. It was only to hold the room. Her entire face and attitude changed like I was some kind of criminal. I gave her another card I actually wanted it on for points purposes and it was fine . But her glare and stone face was ridiculous.

This hotel checked all the boxes for what we were hoping would be a fun weekend away as a family of four. We booked the king suite, which was a great setup with a pull-out couch in the main area. After checking in, we enjoyed the pool. Later that evening we noticed the room was quite warm so we turned down the thermostat. By the kids’ bedtime, it had become noticeably hotter, and we lowered it all the way to 15°C. Despite this, the room remained unbearably hot throughout the night. Our kids ended up sleeping on the pull-out couch in nothing but their underwear with flushed faces, clearly uncomfortable. I’m 7 months pregnant and already struggle with sleep, so the excessive heat and dryness in the room made for a very difficult night (including dealing with a bloody nose). In the morning, I brought the issue to the front desk and was told I was the second guest to report the same problem. I was informed the hotel operates on central air, so there wasn’t much that could be done, aside from offering fans or switching rooms. We decided to wait for maintenance to assess the situation before moving. Later, we were told the issue had been resolved, so we stayed in the same room. What was most disappointing was how this situation was handled. Despite a very uncomfortable first night and known issue with the room no effort was made to offer any form of compensation or discount. For what could have been a great stay, this left a lasting negative impression.

Room (709) was clean and nice. But there was something wrong with the heat / heating controls. We got into the room and it was very hot. Turned it down to 15 from 21 (one would assume this would be cold). The room did not cool down at all. We got back after a late supper (9/10) and the room was still on 21 degrees despite being turned down to 15. This make it difficult to sleep as we were waking up from being way too hot (our face were flushed red). It felt like being in a sauna.
