Centrally located - just across the street from the Halifax Public Gardens, and maybe a 15 min walk from the boardwalk. We had a nice room. Fridge could have been cooler. Perhaps our room could do with some paint touch ups on the trim - was starting to look a little worn. Overall would recommend this hotel.

The location was of the Lord Nelson Hotel was ideal, situated near many attractions. The front desk was friendly and the hotel restaurant had good items for breakfast. I thought the room was nice; it had a king size bed which was comfortable and the shower pressure was very good. The motion activated doors throughout hotel were great!

Very nice hotel and staff. Stayed four nights. Unfortunately we experienced one poor meal in the restaurant where our server apparently went on break and when someone else finally brought our breakfast, it was cold. Manager knocked off a percentage of the bill after we finally got someone else to attend to our table. Other visits to the restaurant were good though. Would most likely return as the location suited us.

This was my second visit to The Lord Nelson this year. The hotel is absolutely lovely. Old world charm in abundance. The restaurant was excellent. Location is ideal. My only complaint about the hotel is the very confusing parking. It’s straight forward to get in but then so difficult to get to the hotel.
