Like many others who went to The Verandah, we expected to enjoy our two night stay in Halifax. The B & B sounded central and pleasant, but the reality was not. The host was total chaos, although in a way interesting. We would never return to this bed and breakfast because the service was not at an acceptable standard (the... More

We had planned to stay in Halifax for a week this past August. We booked in January and put our 50% deposit down on the Blue Room and the Pink Room. We wound up changing our plans and cancelled our reservations 8 days before our originally scheduled arrival (well within the 48 hours required). I cancelled our reservations by e-mail... More

Readers will see from other reviews that experiences at The Verandah are variable. We will try to be objective. First: there are three options with bathrooms: a first floor bedroom with tiny ensuite, a first floor bedroom with good bathroom outside the door, and the loft which is large and has a good ensuite but is up a steep second...

I had to be in Halifax for 2½ weeks during major surgery for my son. I am thankful that I stayed with Joan at the Verandah. She was very kind and compassionate regarding my situation and went out of her way to help. Her B & B became my home away from home during this very stressful time. Breakfasts were... More

We stayed in the top floor "loft". The room needed a good cleaning. The toilet did not flush, and the shower did not drain properly. We had an extra person with us for one night - there was a substantial extra fee for the use of a sofa bed, and we had to make up the bed ourselves. The owner... More

We were in Halifax for a few days and chose this B&B for it's proximity to family. The room was adequate in size, though very warm with little ventilation and too much light, all resulting in a rather uncomfortable and abbreviated sleep. The owner is quite unpleasant and we were disappointed with our stay. This B&B is not recommended for... More

You have to stay here!! My husband and I found by chance this little slice of heaven in the big city , we were making last minute reservations when a woman at the Lord Nelson reffered us to this Bed and Breakfast. The owner was sweet beyond words, we have never received such amazing hospitality!! She even offered to pick... More

Despite a great location we were subjected to a bait & switch similar to what we now read in other reviews. We called ahead and reached Joan on her cell and she promised us the Blue Room. when we arrived she didn't remember who I was or speaking with me, she had been at a party when we called and... More

When we arrived at the check in time, Joan had left a note on the mailbox to call her cellphone when we arrived as she was out. Fortunately, one of the other guests informed us that there was parking in the back as there were no signs to indicate parking for the B&B. We were disappointed to be designated to... More
