A lovely property. I received a room upgrade upon checking in, which was a nice surprise. Every single staff member I encountered - from the bellperson to the young woman who delivered my room service were friendly and professional - and my room was well appointed and spotless (with a great bed!). Wonderful property - I'll most definitely return the next time I'm in Halifax.

The Lord Nelson is a hotel full of history and beautiful accommodation. We found that due to its proximity the the Citadel, it was very walkable and easy to get around in. The staff answered all of our questions and had very good recommendations for food and sightseeing. Definitley a place would recommend for a short or long stay.
