Really enjoyed our stay here last week. The house is absolutely beautiful and has a very boutique feel. The rooftop patio, hot tub, and sauna were definitely highlights after spending the day exploring Halifax. Everything was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and having a private bathroom was a huge plus (one bathroom is accessed via a shared hall). A couple of small things worth mentioning—breakfast is only available during a set window in the morning, so if you're an early departure or like to sleep in, just plan around that. Also, because the house is very modern and runs on a lot of smart home technology, there was a bit of a learning curve with a few of the doors and access systems. Once we got the hang of it, it was easy, and Julia was nearby and quick to help whenever we had a question. Overall, we'd definitely stay again for the location and price in comparison to some of the downtown hotel prices during peak season. It's a unique place with great amenities, thoughtful design, and hosts who genuinely care about making sure guests have a good experience.

filthy King Penthouse Suite. overpriced and will not ever return. dirty drips on the walls. dust bunnies unter all furniture. trims and light strips falling off. vessels holding q-tips and toothpicks were covered in dirty drips. lighting timers would shut the lights off while you were in the room or motion sensors would turn on all lights, waking the person sleeping if you walked into the bathroom. roller blind motors are dying and one at the bed would not close fully. when i texted the house supervisor they responded 3 hours later. Thankfully i wasn't texting about check-in issues!! jetted tub took 45 mins to fill due to extremely low water pressure. Once i turned the jets on grease and debris came out and i was nauseated. green mold/mildew in the shower i didn't try the sauna in the room as i was worried about cleanliness issues and didn't want to get sick at the start of my trip. breakfast was a stale costco croissant and a couple cookies left out from the night before. there was a fruit bowl, but nothing in it. there was a family pack of sliced cheese kept in the fridge that anyone could have opened, touched, etc. nothing here is food-safe, so i would recommend not eating whatever they decide to put out and call "breakfast". "spa-like" products in the room are kirkland bodywash and pantene knock off shampoo and conditioner. costco bottles are visible in the cupboards. Ridiculously high priced for the terribly low quality.

The property has a great concept and a visually impressive industrial rooftop design, which creates a strong first impression. However, the stay itself was very disappointing. Cleanliness was a major issue, with visible dust, stained bedding, and stained towels. The overall maintenance level did not meet basic expectations for a paid accommodation. The room layout also lacks privacy, as the toilet is not separated from the sleeping area, making it unsuitable for two people. The bed felt unstable and noisy, and the constant background and plumbing noise made it difficult to relax. Communication was inconsistent, and some advertised amenities were not available during my stay. Overall, the concept is very strong and the place has clear potential, but in its current condition it needs significant improvement in cleanliness, maintenance, and attention to detail to match what guests would expect.

We booked the Sunrise Suite for a long weekend stay and ended up spending way more time at the house than we expected. The rooftop was probably our favorite part—having coffee up there in the morning and using the hot tub in the evening was a nice break after walking around Halifax all day. The Sunrise Suite is a very open concept - bathroom and bedroom all in one, so good to be mindful of this if you are traveling with another person. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and everything matched the listing photos pretty accurately - I guess we didn’t realize just how open of a space it was, but there’s an additional half bath on the main floor. It's not a hotel, which is actually what we liked about it. It felt more relaxed and personal. The instructions for check-in and the shared amenities were clear, and we never had any issues with noise or privacy but a lot of codes to remember. The North End location worked well for us since we wanted to try local restaurants and breweries without being right in the middle of downtown but be mindful of the overnight street cleaning as they give out tickets. Overall, it was good place to stay with an affordable price that felt easy. We'd definitely stay here again the next time we're in Halifax. Really enjoy Julia and Dami’s customer service.

We stayed here for a short getaway and overall had a really good experience — it felt comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully run, but still very much like a real home rather than a hotel. Dami, Julia & Rebecca were also great! The room itself was nice and the bed was very comfortable, which made sleeping easy after long days out. Everything was clean and well kept, and the check-in process was simple with clear instructions. It’s worth noting it is a shared space, so you are aware of other guests coming and going. We didn’t mind that, but it’s not total privacy the way a hotel would be. The hot tub is a shared amenity, so you do need to be mindful and coordinate timing if you want it to yourself, which sometimes takes a bit of planning. Also, the HRV system can be a bit noticeable at times — not constantly, but you do hear it occasionally, especially in quieter moments. It wasn’t a dealbreaker for us, just something to be aware of if you’re sensitive to noise. What stood out most was that everything was still well maintained and the space felt intentional and welcoming. It has a relaxed, lived-in feel, and we appreciated that balance of comfort and simplicity. Overall, it was a solid stay and we’d come back again, just knowing it’s more of a shared, communal-style setup rather than a fully private hotel experience. It’s also a grab and go style breakfast and more just snacks, complimentary of the owner!

Built with intention, but maintained with none. The Halifax Rooftop looks high-end in photos, but the actual experience was defined by neglect and a complete lack of responsibility from management. The cleanliness was unacceptable from the start. Upon check-in, we found containers scattered across the floor and visible soil in both the sink and the toilet. The most disturbing discovery was a blood stain on the duvet which makes the sanitary conditions of the entire suite highly debatable. Furthermore, the makeup remover wipes were not even sealed properly, leaving them exposed and unhygienic. It is irresponsible to overlook such basic hygiene standards. The management also lacks basic logic. We booked for two guests for two nights yet were provided with ONLY ONE dental floss pick. It is baffling why basic essentials are not carried out with any common sense. Additionally, the shower curtain is the wrong size for the shower area, causing water to splash all over the floor every time you shower. To top it off, there is a $10 laundry load charge that is mentioned nowhere, not in the original listing and not in the provided price list. It is not about the cost, but the lack of transparency. This property is a case of a beautiful space ruined by poor maintenance and an irresponsible host. We will never go back.

The best part of our stay at the Halifax Rooftop was the location. It’s in a quiet neighbourhood but close to lively areas with great bars and restaurants. The interior also has a lot of potential, with spacious rooms that look impressive at first glance. Unfortunately, everything else fell short. Service was poor from the start. There was no help with bags up multiple flights of stairs and only a very brief rundown of the facilities, with no explanation of how to use the communal areas. It also wasn’t clear from the website that the two staff members live there, so being in the shared spaces felt like intruding in their home, interrupting phone calls and meals. It was all very unwelcoming. There were also dirty dishes from their meals left out the entire time we were there. The included breakfast was also disappointing. It wasn’t provided by Mindful Meals as stated in the house manual, and when we texted our order as instructed, we were told the menu was out of date and couldn’t have what we’d chosen. After trying it once, we skipped breakfast for the rest of our stay. One of our rooms had broken air conditioning in the middle of summer, and despite reviews from 2024 mentioning the same issue, nothing was done to fix it. There was also no divider or separation between the toilet, shower and the rest of the room. The house itself was rundown. The front door felt flimsy, a padlock was used to secure the back door, our bedroom door was broken, and half the outlets were taped over. The nice coffee machine was broken. There were empty packets and tools left lying around, adding to the sense that no one maintains the place. The roof terrace looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in quite some time, with bird droppings everywhere. There are also four loud air conditioning units, making it far from a peaceful spot. When it came time to check out, we had no instructions and no one was around, so we just left. Overall, this place feels like it could be great but falls massively short. We wouldn’t recommend staying here - and if you’re considering it, make sure to check reviews on Booking.com, not just Google. A mistake that we made.

We had a really great stay here and would definitely come back. The place feels like a little retreat — we loved the sauna and the big soaking tub. It was also a nice surprise that each suite has its own tub too, which made it extra relaxing. Just a couple things to know ahead of time: there are quite a few stairs, so keep that in mind if you’re bringing a lot of luggage or have mobility concerns. There are also three suites in the house, so some spaces are shared. One of the other guests left a bit of a mess in a common area while we were there, but honestly that’s just something that can happen when there are multiple guests staying. It didn’t really take away from our experience. We had a little trouble figuring out the front door when we first arrived, but the cleaners were able to help us out quickly which we appreciated. It’s self check-in and more hands-off than a traditional B&B, so don’t expect a full meet-and-greet, but the host/cleaning team were responsive when we needed them via text or call and that worked totally fine for us. Overall we really enjoyed our stay — it was cozy, relaxing, and the amenities made it feel special. Would happily stay again.

“Terrible” I have booked the Halifax Rooftop because of good reviews on the booking side, should have googled first. I got a major disappointment. Walking in a room and finding used, dirty dishes from the last guest is a big turn off. Dirty furniture, dust bunnies under the bed led to the conclusion. The room was not cleaned after the last guest. Then we have seen the bathroom (which was located over the hallway). Mouldy shower curtain, the toilet wedged between the tub and the Washer/Dryer combination. The door to the bathroom could not be locked from the outside. As I wrote to the owners with my complains, a lady showed up and said she will clean the room now. About the bathroom door not locking from the outside, all I got was: We have to have access for doing the laundry and everybody knows not to use it! The Main (shared) Living Room was unusable because the patio door was broken and you could not close it, and ice cold (-15 degree) wind was coming in. Maybe everything is better in the summer but this stay was horrible.

We had a great stay overall. A couple of the doors had minor issues from previous guests, but once we figured them out everything worked fine. Dami was extremely helpful and responsive whenever we had questions, which made things easy. The house is very tech-forward — smart locks, automated features, etc. — so I’d definitely recommend reading the manual when you arrive. Once you do, it’s straightforward and actually really convenient. Breakfast is more continental-style with snacks, pastries, and light options. That worked perfectly for us since we’re not big breakfast people anyway. The location felt safe and convenient, and the price was very reasonable for what you get. It’s important you check out the photos beforehand so you know which suite is yours as two are close together. Overall, it was a comfortable, affordable stay with responsive hosts and a modern vibe. We’d stay again.
