If you like college dorms then this is the place for you. If you are partial to hostels then this is the place for you. Our door code to get into the building didn’t work. Thankfully the email app worked to open the front door. The air conditioning was so loud we had to shut it off. The wobbly coffee table in our unit was close to falling apart. The loud noise and parties in the building took me back to my university days.

Great Location. Very clean and confortable. No parking but we used the parking garage tha was tha next street over and only a few minutes walk. Kitchen had everything needed, including keurig with a couple of pods, sugar. Beds were comfy. We were in room 501 so didn't hear much of the street noise but also was there on Monday night. Would definitely stay there again.

This is an apartment hotel, if you’ve never used self checkin it can be a bit confusing.
I had to use my phone to unlock the main door every time because the code was not working on the pin pad. It seemed others were having the same issue. This was inconvenient for others I was travelling with who did not have access to the building without me.
The room itself was spacious, clean and well stocked for a family to stay. There was a/c in both bedrooms and the main room stayed a fairly comfortable temperature with the bedroom rooms opened.
The location is excellent. It is a 5-10 min walk to the boardwalk and lots of shopping and dining locations within walking distance. We parked a block and half away in covered parking and it cost approx. $40 from 4:00 pm-11:00 am.

I Understand the concept of staffless hotel, but you need to work on the process to send the reservation number, and not as us to communication with Hotels.com to collect the reservation number which is different than the itinerary. lost 1hr with them through Chat. Info on Hotels.com is different than the Hotel. We don't get an email48h ahead. But we can check in at 4 am (online only). the front door code didnt work in the morning before check in. Beyond that, and I am an I.T manager, please work on the workflow. Apartment is clean, Wax concrete on an Italian shower is supper slippery, use the mat. The drain is not angled, so it cumulate the water. Blame the Foreman not the hotelkeeper. Other than this, cool smart TV, please log out your profile, before check out, I could see the previous family history. clean, good mattress. good location. Will come back. My 80 year's old dad, love to have his own room, and non of us sleeping on a pull out sofa.

The location, cleanliness, furnishing, spaciousness, and local were great. The kitchenette was perfect. The staff responded in good time to inquiries. I did have some trouble checking in on my Android - had to borrow a friend's iPhone. And one night was loud until midnight bc of the pub below. But the rest of the time it was extremely quiet and lovely. The bed was also extremely comfortable!

I really liked this boutique hotel - but I would think with it being unstaffed, pricing should be considerably less than a typical hotel.

As well the digital codes provided for the doors all worked manually, but we had a party of 3, and none of the doors would open with the \"one touch\" button on the app to open doors.

We loved the location, perfect spot, close to everything. We were in unit 403, directly across from ice machine was incredible 😅
Room is party street facing, we went to party so that was ideal for us anyway
Only downside was the AC is a heat pump, so we really found the bedrooms too warm to sleep well.
Shower drains poorly.

Place was equipped with every single thing you could have needed. We loved it, would recommend and would definitely stay here again

The self serve check in was easy to navigate. We had no issue!

The entire place was clean and well-equipped. We had a three-bedroom that backed up to the bar, but was below the level of the bar. The sounds weren’t as distracting as other suites above the bar. It was kind of like being in a basement, where you couldn’t see daylight. That was weird. The location was great for walking around Halifax.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is incredibly convenient, making it easy to get around and explore. We were thoroughly impressed by our newly renovated suite, which was spotlessly clean and fresh. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals easily. As a lovely bonus, the complementary Netflix access was perfect for relaxing in the evenings. We will definitely choose this hotel again for our next trip!

Great stay! Amazing location, Blowers Street parking garage just around the corner (I was worried about parking before going, there is plenty of parking near by). The room had a faint smell of cigarette smoke, the fridge and trash can were notably dented, the charging light on the small bedroom was broken. Minor issues. Everything else was perfect.

Great location and overall would recommend - we didn't have issues with checkin or noise as some of the other reviews mentioned, however the AC didnt work very well and we happened to stay through a heat wave so it made being in the apartment not enjoyable at all, especially trying to sleep or get ready in a tiny bathroom where the only mirror was located.

The location in old Downtown Halifax was great and the suite, tho' very compact, was adequate. The lighting could have been better. The fact we could store our luggage ahead of checkin was appreciated.
Our troubles started when we tried to enter at checkin time. The pass code we got to enter the hotel didn't work. Fortunately another guest was entering at the same time and, being more digitally savvy, was able to help. We had to re-register and get the codes downloaded again; this is evidently a recurring issue.
Then when we got in I was looking forward to watching a FIFA football (soccer) game but found out we had no TV, just streaming services!
A couple of issues in the unit itself. The dining is bar height but the two chairs are dining table height. The shower doesn't fully drain; there will be water in the bottom of the shower the next day. Then there's the toilet, it's not firmly anchored to the floor, it swivels; not the seat, the whole toilet! Unfortunately we can't report these issues as the help line is manned only during business days to 4:30pm and not on weekends or holidays!
Being a lovely heritage building there are three or four steps to enter, Any one with accessibility issues should know this, though there is a lift (that need to be prearranged), a very thoughtful touch.
All in all we had a pleasant stay and enjoyed our time in Halifax.

Apartment was great! Loved the decor. Location was super convenient.

We had no problem with the noise from Argyle St even though we looked out onto a patio bar and stayed on a Friday night in June when the street was loud.

One small downside: We had problem with the door code for the outside door and the process to get it fixed was not ideal.

The property is attractive and as advertised with two significant setbacks.

First, check in was a significant frustration that took 90 minutes to resolve with Hotels.com customer support. Despite receiving several post-booking emails from the hotel, the information necessary to register on their portal to get the code to open the door was missing. The helpline was all pre-recorded messages, none of which addressed my circumstance. All this made for a lot more work and frustration after booking than a normally staffed hotel.

Second major issue is that the unit is right next to a night club with a loud rooftop patio so don't plan on getting any sleep until after 1AM.

Location is fantastic for getting around, however as the property warns this hotel is located in an area with a vibrant and loud nightlife. We literally had a rooftop bar right outside of our windows that had loud music nightly until midnight. We are sound sleepers so this was not a huge issue for us as we slept hard after all of our activities. The exception being our lastnight it was a little frustrating because of an early flight home, but like I said the hotel was very honest about noise in the area. If loud music is not your forte or you are a light sleeper avoid this property. If you can sleep through anything and enjoy music as we do you will love this place. Easy walk to Harbour, Citadel or any other tourist area, and a ton of food options. We also did not mind lack of staff, but once again this is all in the hotel description and if you want a concierge or daily staff interaction this is not for you. Personally, we would stay again as the rooms are spaceous, updated, and have plenty of space, perfect location and we enjoyed the nightlife without have to drop hundreds of dollars in the bars.

Something of a unique experience as there isn't a Front Desk and check-in etc. is all done electronically. Rooms are spacious, clean and well appointed. The room I had showed a bit of wear an tear but was still great value. My particular room overlooked a neighbouring bar patio which initially raised a concern about noise but I was there on a weeknight and it was fine. I presume on a busier night noise might have been an issue as earplugs were provided. Despite all that, it was a great place to stay and I would happily stay there again.

Self check in was frustrating when the code that was sent didnt work. Other guests were smoking marijuana and tobacco, permeating our room, even waking us up at 4 am the smell was so strong. We did email the hotel, but never received a reply and the smells continued. Definitely a noisy location, which we were warned about. We didnt appreciate the provision of 2 coffee pods for 2 people for a 4 night stay. Instructions indicated we could purchase more in a vending machine.
On a positive note, the suite was a good size and the kitchen adequately equipped.
The location is perfect for walking to the waterfront and there is a variety of restaurant choices nearby

The unit we stayed in had two levels. The bedroom was upstairs with a sink and toilet, and the shower was on the first level with a sink. It was called a penthouse suite. I personally would not call this a penthouse. If I would stay here again I would just get a studio something that’s everything’s on the first floor.

We had a great stay at Cameo Suites Halifax. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The location is excellent, with easy access to downtown attractions, restaurants, and the waterfront.

Check-in was straightforward once the instructions were received, although the timing was a little confusing. The website indicated check-in information would be sent 48 hours before arrival, but we didn’t receive it until the day of check-in. Once it arrived, the process was simple and hassle-free.

One thing we particularly appreciated was how quiet the property was and use of the laundry. We experienced no noise from neighbouring rooms or nearby properties, which made for a very relaxing stay. Overall, a great accommodation option in Halifax and one we would happily stay at again.

This place is a gem. Super clean, great location with full functional kitchen amenities. The most difficult part is getting in the main door on the first visit as the code wouldn’t work, this time all went well. There was another couple there having the same inability to open the door. I helped them as someone did for our previous stay.

The room itself was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. It was comfortable, well-appointed, and we were very happy with the accommodation itself.

However, the biggest challenge was the parking and unloading situation. There is no parking available at the property, and nowhere to safely pull over in front of the building to unload luggage. We were travelling with several bags, and one member of our party has limited mobility. Having to unload on a busy street with buses passing very close by was quite stressful and, at times, felt unsafe.

The listing also mentioned a luggage storage room, but unfortunately we were unable to access it because the keypad entry system did not work.

We also attempted to contact the host about these issues but never received a response, which was disappointing.

One small point of feedback is regarding the towels. Only one towel per guest was provided. Most hotels and vacation rentals we have stayed in provide at least two towels per person, and having an extra towel available would have been appreciated.

Overall, the accommodation itself was excellent, but the lack of parking, difficulty unloading luggage, inaccessible luggage storage, and lack of communication from the host affected our experience.

Il faut absolument tout faire le check-in avant car sur place l'application expedia ne fonctionnait pas et il n'y a aucun personnel sur place tout est digital. Ça m'a pris plus de 35 min être capable de rentrer dans ma chambre! Je ne referai plus jamais ça. Aussi les plancher en genre de béton les voisins de chambre au-dessus ça faisait un bruit incroyable quand ils bougeaient des chaises.

Great accommodation with good kitchenette with all you need. The check-in system was straight forward and done online with all codes sent before we arrived. We were aware of potential noise from neighbouring bar and street. We had suite 402 and heard no noise from bar but some from the street, especially on the Friday night but not enough for us to use ear plugs. Location is great, just a couple of blocks from the waterfront and Citadel, and also plenty of buses pass by. Good options for food from morning to night. Never had issue with the fact it is unstaffed.

Penthouse Stay at Cameo: A Hidden Gem Despite the Buzz

We chose a penthouse suite based on its appealing photos, prime location, and attractive price, before thoroughly checking reviews. After our stay, we're genuinely glad we did, even with prior concerns about noise.

Our penthouse overlooked Argyle Street and The Pint's rooftop patio. This fantastic apartment-style suite offered ample space, feeling more like a private residence; perfect for two.

Check-in & Access: The process was straightforward, with easy-to-use codes for entry
Bedroom: Clean and well-stocked. We appreciated the warmth from the polished concrete floors and the effective dual AC units
Living Room: Comfortable and inviting for relaxation
Kitchen: Functional and equipped with essentials like dishes, cookware, and dishwasher soap. While general pantry items aren't provided (just salt and pepper), small grocers are conveniently nearby
Regarding Noise: The reviews mention noise from the rooftop patio. During our three-weeknight stay, we only experienced notable noise and music on a busy Thursday, likely due to pleasant weather filling the patio. The complimentary earplugs provided by the hotel were effective

Minor Observations:
- A pillar in the bedroom can be a slight obstruction if you're sleeping on the wall side
- The shower sometimes pools but doesn't overflow the bathroom
- Hot water takes time to come through the taps

Overall: We would book here again. It offers great value and a unique experience

Loved the full kitchen, the beautiful patio and the communications.

If you're staying downtown, and want a spot to make a coffee, hang out at the end of the day on a patio, and take downtime in a comfy spot, this a great option!

Only complaint is that the windows, while beautiful!, made my sleeping area so hot in the morning. There was a larger oscillating fan in a storage nook, but I discovered that too late!

Excellent stay. Had all the conveniences of home and appreciated the early luggage drop off and the ability to store luggage later on my departure day. Be sure to check your email before you arrive. You’ll need a code that seems only to come by email and there was one couple struggling to log into their email to retrieve the code. I had my code and things couldn’t have been easier. I’d happily stay there again!

Clean, spacious apartment - the only disappointment was check-in. The instructions were onerous and there was no seating or lobby space large enough to host all the people waiting for 4 p.m. to get their access codes.

We were also overlooking a busy outdoor pub and patio that gets quite noisy during the evening when weather is good.

My lobby code didn’t work when I arrived and I found that quite irritating after travelling all day. I also had trouble at the very beginning with paying on the self check in. The process was a little too hands off for me, I don’t mind a little automation but when something doesn’t work in a foreign city it’s annoying. The building is tastefully remodeled but it is a very old building with low ceilings, especially upstairs. And although the building seemed well insulated to outside noise, you are still smack dab in the middle of a very busy area. Cute little comfortable spot though, just felt a little uncomfortable from wondering if the locks would work every time I left the building!

We have no issue with the accommodation. It was clean, well equipped and comfy bed. BUT and it’s a big but - it was a Sunday night & I’m not sure when the music started because we were out for dinner. We got back to the hotel around 9:00. We were on the 6th floor and our bedroom window faced Arglye street and right below our bedroom window was a huge open area bar. The DJ started the music and it was so loud even ear plugs didn’t block it out completely. The music was non stop until midnight. The night was terrible and we went home the next morning even though we had the room for another night.

I really enjoyed my stay at Cameo Hotel Suites. Everything was perfectly clean, and the ability to leave our luggage after check-out allowed us to enjoy the city a bit longer before departure.

Another big plus was that we didn’t experience much noise at all, since our suite faced Barrington Street rather than Argyle Street with the pubs nearby.

The only small thing I missed was having sugar available in the room.

Shower was down stairs and bedroom was upstairs - very inconvenient. Also, EXTREMELY loud music from bar roof adjoining. LOUD music played every night until 1:30 am. The ear plugs that were in the room didn’t help - I had to go purchase 2 pairs of noise canceling headphones

Would never stay here again.

Property, itself, was fabulous with a full kitchen, separate office, excellent shower, etc. The location, alone, is worth a few bucks.
Nothing can resolve the fact that Argyle Street-facing rooms are above a bar patio playing extremely loud, crappy, club music 'til after midnight.
Stay here in mid-Winter or get a room facing Barrington Street.

This is an excellent, centrally located property! Great for walking around. The ad does describe that it is not guaranteed to be a quiet stay, and that is accurate. It didn’t bother me, but some may not like that. Other than the party noises of a weekend in the city, no complaints at all. Good value for sure! Would stay again

A lovely studio apartment in the centre, within walking distance of all the amenities. Well equipped and comfortable- even Netflix! We found the check-in process clunky and unhelpful - there is no reception and no duty staff, all is digital and if the booking reference is wrong as in our case, or in the case of another guest who had a different credit card with him - you are stuck waiting for a response to messages. So a stressful arrival but a very nice stay.

A very central location. Check-in was a bit tricky. There is no person to check you in. All by tablet. Read their pre-stay emails carefully. We used Expedia to book so make sure you have your Confirmation number ready....NOT the Expedia Itinerary number. Our room was nice and spacious and there is free use of the laundry facilities. You just need to bring your own soap. Would definitely stay here in the future.
