We stayed at the Fresh Start B&B for two nights in mid-September. The B&B itself is a lovely Victorian home that is beautifully furnished and well-kept. Our room on the first floor was huge with high ceilings and a fireplace (though we didn't use it). We shared a bathroom with one other room. Therein, the toilet is in a pretty... More

The room was very nicely decorated with beautiful furnishings and a comfy bed. The shared bathroom could be reached via a separated passageway. Breakfast included a hot dish, cereals, toast with a variety of muffins baked the previous day. The owner was friendly but very busy and businesslike. With free WiFi and a bus stop just a block away an... More

We stayed in the Room at the Top for a week for our honeymoon in Halifax and had a great time! The owners were very nice, and friendly. The breakfast was delicious and very filling. We booked ahead of time and got a great deal for a very spacious and comfortable room. We are looking forward to coming back in... More

Enjoyed our stay here immensely. The room was spotless, with extra blankets and pillows if needed. Even though we were on the street side of the house, very little traffic noise came through. We shared the bathrooms with other guests upstairs, but never had a problem accessing the bathroom. The bathrooms were very clean with plenty of clean towels. Breakfast... More

Overall our experience was OK. It is located a 1/2 hr walk from the historic district of Halifax and free parking behind the b&b was a plus. The owners were cordial however, they didn't go to the usual lengths to make our stay memorable. They were not particularly forthcoming with information on what to do and where to eat. They... More

I was in Halifax for a week and stayed at the Fresh Start. It was comfortable, clean and lovely. The shared bathrooms were spotless, and despite the place being full, I never had to wait. While the hotel was not in the center of Halifax, it was a short walk (or an even shorter bus ride) in a quiet diverse... More

The only truly bad experience I have ever had at a B&B. This establishment pulled a fast one one on me! The "Room At The Top" (ensuite bathroom, kitchenette, etc) was horrible. Bed; very uncomfortable mattress, linen not that great, and inadequate pillows. Kitchenette: put together by extremely amateur carpenter (cupboards were cut out of plywood sheets little more etc....

We stayed here for one night after trying to find a room in the downtown area with no success. The B&B is centrally located and is an easy walk into the downtown area and is conveniently located on a bus route. Although we knew that there would not be a hot breakfast we felt there was nothing particularly memorable about... More

Spent several nights at the Fresh Start B&B in Halifax this August (2008). Overall, not bad. The room was cute and cozy, with a view of the bridge, and everything was spotlessly clean. Shared bathroom had no shortage of towels, and a huge old-fashioned tub. The proprietor was friendly enough, but did not go out of her way to make... More
