After arriving from Montreal by train (which was great by the way) , we had only a small walk of 350 meters from the train station to the Waverley Inn. Beautifull old house with big confortable rooms. Continental breakfast is OK. Good restaurants nearby or just a short walk to downtown. Free wifi, the staff were helpfull and the rates... More

I'm currently staying at the Waverley Inn and am so glad that I chose this hotel. It has everything that is needed and more. It's clean and well-kept. Staff are friendly and helpful. There is free internet access and a full breakfast. And - mostly importantly - it's simply beautiful, historic and charming. Should I return to Halifax, I will... More

Stunning old house with friendly staff. Helpful directions to sights and local restaurants. 10 minute walk to downtown area. Lovely and fairly substantial buffet breakfast. Free Wi-Fi and parking a plus. Rooms clean and good bed; quiet stay.

I stayed for a week and found the hotel clean and comfortable.Nicely decorated with antique furniture, bedding was OK but not great (I suspect not 100% cotton). Initially I was given room 120 which smelled of food. The staff were helpful and they used an ozone machine for 20min which dealt with the problem somehow. The next day they gave... More

Nice 19th century hotel with characters. Our room, the roman sister was burgundy in tone with a unique shaped headboard. it was comfy and clean. Only complaint was a ticking noise coming from the pipe above the closet that was disturbing us at time. Other than that it was pretty quiet. All the staff were nice and helpfull. Special mention...

Spent two nights in this lovely building and was close to all amenities. Walked all over the city. Clean room. Bed was ok but the mattress needs to be replaced. The featherbed topper just isnt quite enough. The blues bar across the street was pretty loud but I was up anyway. The bathroom was spotless and the tub surround was... More

The Waverley Inn in Halifax is always our first choice when we need to stay in a hotel or inn in Halifax. We are always welcomed as friends, although we only stay there about once a year. Parking is free, the rooms are beautifully furnished with antiques, the beds are soft and inviting, the bathrooms are exceptional and the towels... More

Please do something with the bed. Awful mattresses and very noisy. You wake up in the morning much more tired than you already are! Very good location in the centre of Halifax with ealking distance to anything with FREE parking!!!! Really nice but not so rich breakfast.

We need more Inns like the Waverley - loved the clean room and bath - there are not enough words to describe the atmosphere and the decor - the on site parking is a bonus - enjoy the experience, the place, and the people. We will return again!
