Here's the good: The location to the waterfront is great, about a 10 to 15-minute walk. The suite was very clean. The self-check-in was convenient. Here is the bad: Pretty sure the queen bed isn't a real queen, it was very small. There is no parking. Here is the worst: It is extremely noisy! Not sure how it is for the 3rd floor and below, but our suite was on the 4th, directly across from the rooftop bar that Cameo partners with. And when I say right across, I mean I could look out our living room window and virtually lip-read the conversations happening out there. And it would have to be lip-reading, as the music is blaring far too loud for anyone to actually hear anything....till 2:30 in the morning. Along with the noisy neighbours outside the building, you'll enjoy the noisy ones in the building too with the thin walls and ceiling. All in all, if you're in Halifax to take in the nightlife and want to be in the action or can sleep through a full-blown concert less than 10 feet from you, it's perfect. If you are a light sleeper or have children with you, you may want to consider elsewhere.

Our stay was great. The suite was like a modern apartment. Clean, roomy, and fully equipped. Location is very convenient. Self check in system was simple and smooth with advanced emails and text reminders. Our suite had no outside view. No biggie for us as we just needed a nice, clean, cool, and cost effective place to stay for a night.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour à votre hôtel. L'emplacement est idéal pour profiter de tous les attraits d'Halifax. Facile d'accès, bien équipé et très propre. Point négatif :.Manque d'insonorisation. Nous avons séjourné un lundi et mardi. Pas trop festif pour cette periode de la semaine. Nous avons mis l'air climatisé et le ventilateur pour couvrir le son de l'exterieur et tout était parfait!

Although there were many good things about this stay, we were unable to sleep until 2am due to the noise. We stayed there on a Sunday night and the next door outdoor bar was incredibly loud. The provided ear plugs, AC noise, and a fan could not compensate for how loud it was and the vibrations from the bass. Due to that I would not book this location again.

Extremely loud music beside us until 2am

We stayed at Cameo Hotel from a Friday to Sunday (2 nights in July). Both nights had extremely loud music until 2 am from directly outside our bedroom window. We could look down at a night club on a rooftop patio. My earplugs didn't even prevent to bass from traveling through my body. It was absolutely awful. There is no preparing for the loudness you are about to experience if you stay at this hotel on a weekend. Added to this... the accomodation has some sketchy building workmanship (IE: loose faucets, shower doesn't drain, hard bed, poor lighting mounted on the wall).

Look elsewhere

Numerous small issues with the room. Not critical but zero response from management. A larger problem is the entry codes to the building seldom work. Again no help from management. Terrible.

I LOVE this property and love it even more when cheap stays come up! Location, accessibility, parking, and comfort - not to mention the rooms/suites are modern and updated. I love having a full fridge and stove available- it's just like a home away from home. My fav hotel in Halifax hands down- and I've stayed in MANY.

I was initially sceptical about online, contactless check in, however, the process was entirely seamless. This model allows you to stay in very popular areas for a lesser cost (and who doesn’t love that?) Our suite was more than we could have needed. We would stay here again.

There is no parking associated with the hotel. However there are multiple lots within a few minutes walk. The air conditioning unit is portable and has a noise level equivalent to a window unit. Nicely equipped unit. Clean and comfy. TV is set up with Roku. Hotel is ideally located. Close to sights and restaurants.

Horrible place - you can’t even get into the building because their door lock is broken and they refuse to fix it. So you have to break in every time. No security. You can’t get any assistance from the hotel. Loud music blasting from the nightclub right beside until 2 am. Will never stay here again. The cleaners are great though!

Broken door lock and the hotel will not fix it

This hotel does not even pass a basic standard - you can’t even get into the hotel. The main door code lock does not work. We booked multiple suites amongst our group of friends and tried several different codes - one worked after numerous tries. We tried to contact the hotel and they were non-responsive. We booked this hotel for two segments of our trip and the hotel still did not fix the door after being informed. It looks like many people have complained about this issue online. Zero security at this hotel as it is easy to bypass the main door lock with a card. It is also very loud and located beside a nightclub which blasts music until 2 am. Stay elsewhere!
