The Prince George Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, it is worth booking if you want a central Halifax base with strong guest scores at a price a little under the city median. Skip it if you are price-sensitive about parking and older facilities, which is where the complaints sit.

This is our Best Value pick in Halifax. It suits couples and short-break travellers who want to walk to galleries, churches and restaurants rather than drive.
The listing tags it as pet-friendly, which helps if you travel with a dog. Confirm the pet policy and any fee before you book.
Who should skip it? Travellers who judge a hotel mainly on modern finishes. Several guests describe the facilities as dated for the price. Drivers should also note that parking costs come up in complaints, so a car can push the total up.
Location and getting around
The address is 1725 Market Street, in the South End area. The location score is 9.6.
Two sights are very close. The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia is about 0.3 km away, roughly 4 minutes on foot. St. Mary's Basilica is about 0.4 km, around 5 minutes. These walking times are straight-line estimates, so real routes may take a little longer.
Our data puts the Halifax Harbour reference point 3.7 km away, about 46 minutes on foot. That is far, and you would need public transport or a taxi to reach that exact point. Guests, however, describe the hotel as close to the waterfront and the Citadel, so check a map for the part of the harbour you actually want to see.
What guests say
The score is 8.8 out of 10 from 1,195 reviews, a solid sample. Within the 12 properties we compared, that was joint fourth place on review score.
Two themes stand out on the positive side. First, location: guests call it a central downtown spot near the Citadel, the waterfront, restaurants and event venues. Second, staff: reviewers describe a friendly, professional and attentive team.
The main criticism is value. Some guests find the rates reasonable. Others think it is expensive given dated facilities and the cost of parking.
Price and what you get, compared with our other Halifax picks

Our Budget pick, Chateau Bedford Trademark Collection by Wyndham, was €115.86 a night with a score of 8.7, but it is about 9 km from the gallery and needs a car or transport. Our Luxury pick, Halifax Tower Hotel & Conference Centre, an Ascend Collection Hotel, scored 9.2 and cost €187.41. The Prince George sits in the middle on price and wins on central location.
Facilities listed by the property include free Wi-Fi, a restaurant, a fitness centre, air conditioning and a terrace. A pool and spa also appear in the listing data. Breakfast types listed are continental, American and buffet. Whether breakfast is included in your rate has not been confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 12 eligible properties in Halifax. This one balanced a high guest score, a large number of reviews and a reference price below the median. It is not the cheapest option.
Before you book
