The Moxy Halifax Downtown Hotel offers a modern and somewhat quirky experience with a focus on social spaces and a streamlined, minimalist approach to rooms. Recent reviews highlight both positive aspects like friendly staff and a lively bar, as well as significant concerns regarding room quality, particularly regarding cleanliness and basic amenities. Parking is a recurring issue due to a tight garage layout.
Really nice hotel and the food was excellent. The staff were pleasant and the overall experience was very good. However, the blinds in the room were not functioning properly, which was disappointing. My biggest concern was the parking garage — it is extremely tight and difficult to navigate. The garage has only one lane for both entering and exiting, and the parking spaces leave very little room on either side of the vehicle. It’s not surprising to see so many scratches and marks on the poles and walls, as the layout clearly creates challenges for drivers. The room card system is flawed. We were able to access our room on the first night, but we couldn’t get out of the parking garage. We waited 4–5 minutes with two cars behind us before security arrived to open the gate. The card is also required to use the elevators. Sometimes it worked fine, but other times I had to tap it several times before it registered — and by then, the elevator had already moved to another floor. By the morning of the second day, neither of our cards would open the room door, so we had to exchange them. Even after receiving new cards, we still had issues at the garage exit, where we needed to tap the card reader multiple times before the gate would open. You may want to follow up with the manufacturer regarding this card system, as it appears unreliable. It almost seems as though the card readers themselves may need to be recharged via USB or serviced regularly. I would stay at the hotel again, but I would definitely avoid using the parking garage in the future.
Super friendly staff, check in was at 3, we were yhere a couple of gours early. The staff allowed us to park in the underground parking as we went to check out the downtown area. When we got back to chck in, each person got a poker chip for a free drink alcohol or non alcoholic beverages. Very quiet when you get to your rooms with really nice big showers! Nice little fridge in the rooms, which helped seeing as are on our honeymoon, carrying fruit & veggies is great for the east coast trip. Free tea & coffee is also a pretty good score, that i noticed the morning after on my way to the gym with the price of everything these days. The gym was nice had everything I needed to get a good workout in. It was nice that the Halifax Moxy has a punching bag & boxing gloves. Thats my normal warm up & home, so having it in our trip was a HUGE SCORE FOR ME! All in all its was a great experience, definetly suggest the Moxy to anyone looking for a hotel thats worth what you pay!
Loved our experience here! The aesthetic of the hotel is unique and upscale, very pleasing. It smelled SO good from when you first enter. The staff were all so nice- special thanks to Bella, Sam and Shakir (sorry if we are misspelling any names). The welcome drink token was such a fun addition as well! My husband and his best friend loved the burger feature for burger week, and the oysters and garlic shrimp had me on lock! Oh, and make sure to check out the secret room too. ;) The bed rooms were stylish and the idea of hooks were cool, also the stash was appreciated - didn’t make us miss a closet at all. The ONLY feedback would be to kindly request fans be added into the washroom. Thanks Moxy, we’ll be back!!!
We stayed at the Moxy Hotel in Halifax during Easter weekend and we truly enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately, there was a bachelor party in the room next to ours. Because of that, we didn’t sleep well for two nights, as the men were shouting, singing, and making noise that disturbed our sleep around 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. I called the front desk, and they immediately contacted the room, and the noise stopped. Of course, we didn’t sleep very well, but that really wasn’t the hotel’s fault. We did mention that it was quite unpleasant to lose sleep for two nights out of four, and the hotel kindly offered us dinners, breakfasts, and a small glass of wine. I found this gesture very thoughtful and appreciated their kindness. If I may suggest just one small detail, unfortunately we had a very cold and rainy weekend. I found the rooms to be beautiful, but it would have been really nice to have a thicker blanket available. The ones provided felt more like lighter summer blankets. That said, it’s just a small comfort that I personally would have appreciated — not a big issue at all. This is definitely a hotel I would return to. Moxy Hotels can be found all around the world, and I truly enjoy staying at them. They are fun, colorful hotels, and the staff is always friendly.
A great designer on a TEMU shopping spree made this hotel look amazing with the cheapest quality build. Knob in shower fell off, bed reading lamp was broken, cloth pull on drawer under bed had let go on one side, went to open the fridge and handle came off in hand, terrible draft coming through window, cool lantern handle required snapping together. We were in a bunk room which is a very cool option but needs a fan in the room. The people in the top bunks were too warm. The people in the bottom bunks were uncomfortably cold. The lobby vibe was excellent. The coffee was ok, the water for the tea was lukewarm warm. The staff were lovely but every staff member that I spoke with were struggling with the computer system. We had to check in twice because they gave our party a room with one bed when we had reserved a room with two bunk beds. I reported these issues when checking out. Hope they have a maintenance person visit the room. Every time we left the parking lot the door didn’t work and someone had to get out to push the button by the door
This hotel was my favourite for a while. It’s highly recommended. The location is just a five-minute walk from the US consulate, making it perfect for any visa interviews. A pleasant surprise was the water fountains on each floor. The hotel also gave us a complimentary drinks coupon, which made our stay even better. They also have a great gym. I’m definitely coming back to stay here.
This is quite an interesting hotel. Very modern and trendy. You check in at the bar and they give you a poker chip for a complimentary drink which is a nice touch. The rooms are possibly the smallest hotel rooms I've ever seen and I stay in hotels weekly. They are however very very modern, very very clean, and very very nice. The bathrooms are extremely nice. Despite the tiny room I really enjoyed my 2 nights at the Moxy Halifax Downtown Hotel and definitely recommend it. The bar area is also very modern and trendy, very cool spot. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.
"It's not for everyone" shouldn't be something used to describe anything to do with hospitality, but here we are... If you enjoy dorm rooms and social media-ready spaces, you'll probably find yourself quite at home here. Otherwise, you may just feel out of touch, or cast aside. The staff are very nice and welcoming, as one would expect from Marriott, you even get a free drink - but that's about where the actual hospitality ends. From the front desk/bar onwards it's all about the modern outside-the-box instagram backdrop aesthetic and not about you. The rooms throw convention (and comfort) out the large picture window. The sliding, un-lockable bathroom doors reveal what your family ate last night. The only place to sit is a wooden folding chair hung from the wall (which may be appealing to some). In winter, the cold vinyl floors and colder bedding mirror the cold concrete ceiling. The (double sold as queen) beds have been turned sideways and installed head to head so that someone gets to sleep against the wall and you all get to feel like you're at summer camp. Boring old pillows are replaced by large cushions which you have to prop in the awkward gap against the wall so you can sit and watch the TV. A wall mounted box unfolds to reveal a slanty desk that you could only use to rest a pizza. Nothing about the room seems to be intentionally designed to improve your experience - everything is a challenge to the horrors of normalcy. Even the lack of closet shows its disdain for the old ways. Boomers certainly needn't darken these slogan-covered doors. It's a bit odd that this is all coming from a company with a century of hospitality experience behind it. While I might not want to stay in a 1927 hotel, I would still like to benefit from the lessons learned over time - which all seem to have been flushed down the sink here - that is if the sink didn't have a flat bottom and you could actually flush things down it.
Thank you to the Moxy staff for making this staycation a very special one. The hotel has a central Europe vibe very modern. Smaller rooms that can accommodate families. The common areas really add alot to this hotel. They have many games to play. Life size connect 4, jenga, chess and a cool room hidden behind a book shelf.Family friendly . Healther was so amazing. She and the other front staff were so nice and acommodating. The wait staff were amazing too. This morning at breakfast, i dropped my knife and before I even looked up the waiter had a new one on my table. I recommend this hotel if you are looking for a modern place to enjoy time with family and friends.So much to do we stayed in the hotel for the entire night. Didn't even have to leave. Thank you MOXY, our engagement staycation was one that we will not forget due to the amazing staff.
Our stay at the Moxy Marriott Downtown Halifax location was extremely disappointing and we will not return to this Hotel. We are Marriott BonVoy members and have stayed at numerous Marriott Hotels throughout Canada and the United States. We have always been satisfied with each of the Hotels until our recent stay at the Moxy Marriott Halifax Downtown. The main reasons are: - During our 5 day/4night stay no room servicing ever happened (ie changing bedding and towels) despite being advised by the “Bar Reception” that room servicing will occur every other day. - The bathroom in our room (#416) had an extremely strong “musty” smell. The smell was of a severity that made me feel there may be mold. - The laminate floor was coming up in several spots so dangerous for walking about in bare feet. - There were no plugs for technology devices despite being a “new” Hotel. - Some of the pegs for hanging clothes on were behind the large television. We had read about the concept of this NEW Hotel and were willing to experience the modern “minimalist but functional” premises as promoted. In reality we paid rates similar to other hotels for far less service and comfort.
