Great experience! I stayed here for 3 nights while attending a conference. The room was excellent- it was clean and had everything I needed. The staff were hospitable and kind. Would definitely return!

After considering many other options in Halifax, we went with the Hollis and it turned out to be amazing!
Location is ideal to discover the city, the service is outstanding, the rooms are neat (we had a king suite with harbour view on the top floor, wow), the pool & jacuzzi are nice and the complimentary breakfast is exceptional.
Kudos to Hilton for offering such a reasonable deal for what turned out to be the best hotel we've stayed at in recent years.

We stayed at the Hollis celebrating our anniversary. We had a great time, The room was lovely, spacious and clean. Very comfortable bed and pillows. We had breakfast at the hotel and was pleased to see so many vegetarian choices.
But what made this trip extra special, was the excellent customer service we received, especially from Manpreet at the front desk.
She went out of her way to make sure our anniversary visit was special. She was knowledgable, helpful and so very pleasant....

Hotel was good. Good location and room was nice. Pool area was good. Decent enough gym. Hot tub was small, something you would find at a friends house, and was un kept and dirty. Ended up with a rash from the dirty water. Didn't realize things until I noticed a rash a few days later. Would expect a Hilton to have better hot tub maintenance.

This hotel could be good, but our experience was frustrating. We were a larger group staying for a work event and had our breakfast included in our room rate. Breakfast here is plated to order, but it took nearly an hour each moring order, eat and get out because it was short staffed every day. We were confused about the process, frustrated with the wait and disappointed in the food. One person in our group got charged for all the breakfasts even though they were supposed to be included and we had to dispute. Then when I checked my credit card statement I got charged for a bottle of water that I never came anywhere near. They reversed the charge but that's a dirty tactic in my opinion. The rooms are big but have a few issues. Some mornings the water was cold, no sheers on the windows with a million balconies looking in and odd dark and depressing living spaces no one actually wants to be in. The hotel was also freezing the entire week. The bed was clean but I dont know that I'll endorse staying here next time.
