Moxy Halifax Downtown

New hotel still under construction. Room was a bit sp****, no seat except to sit in the bed. Bathroom was spectacular and large. Parking cost is average-ish but there are cheaper options very close to this hotel. Interior parking on several levels that are all painted pink. We selected the wrong parking floor in the elevator and we thought our vehicle had been stolen, perhaps a different colour would help or better signage in the elevator. Staff were very nice although a bit slow, but I guess growing pains.

The hotel is set up like a lively bar and a young fun atmosphere. Unfortunately, the GM there Kelvin is NOT that guy! When 2am came around and it was time for drinks to be put away..... he approached our group with such aggression that we were all put off ever coming back. Other staff members were great! Just the one bad apple made us uncomfortable and we didn't go back for food and drink again. It is also the law according to Kelvin that you're not allowed to take drinks to your room, so consider this when choosing a Hotel. I would never go back or recommend based on the management.

This place is a VIBE. I wish I could have spent more than one night. Very clean, very welcoming, very unique, with a party atmosphere. It's clearly catering to the club crowd. The front desk is the bar and the front desk staff are skilled bartenders. They make traditional and signature cocktails the right way, none of that lime bar mix garbage. There was a live DJ spinning in the lobby/bar. Lots of comfortable seating. The room itself has a kind of industrial aesthetic, but not a cold one. To maximize space, the room has a host of hooks and shelving instead of a closet. The TV is huge and really nice, it's easy to access streaming or connect your own device. I especially loved the bathroom, which is fully tiled with a big walk-in shower and a sliding door. My only complaint, and the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5, was noise. The music from the bar was loud, and even though I was on the 7th floor I could still hear it until after midnight. Probably because my room was at the front of the hotel directly above the lobby, so the music wafted up to the window. The heat/ventilation is also really loud.

This hotel is absolutely mind blowing. I love the aesthetics of it. It is very modern with a unique design. From the suitcase wall to the hidden door to the play area it feels like a great place to getaway from everyday life. To me, it felt like I was at a socialite club. I love that the check in/out is done at the bar It’s very different but it instantly made the staycation feel like a party. The rooms are rather small but that didn’t really matter much to me since we didn’t spend a ton of time there outside of sleeping. The bathroom is gorgeous and super modern. I absolutely loved the wall art in the room and throughout the hotel. Very fun and playful. I love that the bedrooms were equipped with steamers as opposed to the traditional iron. Everything about this hotel screams unique and modern and it was amazing to stay at the very first one in Canada. On top of this, I loved that the price point was affordable despite the elegance and high end feel of the hotel. I’m so excited to booked my next staycation!! Special shout out to Stephen and Kelvin for being so warm and friendly. Stephen was exceptional in relating with us and building rapport. He took the time to listen to a query we had and quickly rectified it, and he did so with the utmost professionalism… He truly embodied great customer service and that is something I genuinely appreciate. On top of this, he crafted the Moxys House Drink for us which was absolutely breathtaking. It was quite refreshing and made us feel like we were in the tropics rather than cold Canada. Also really appreciated Kelvin who was so kind and offered to grab our bags as we were exiting the hotel. He was nice and friendly and added a special touch to our departure. It may seem rather minuscule but a little goes a long way. Thank you for your kindness and for putting us, as guests, first… you could’ve walked straight past us but you didn’t. Thank you!!

I recently had a great experience staying at this new hotel. The design is modern and practical, every detail is thought out. Starting with the functional reading light and ending with the steam iron in the room. The room is very clean, incredible view of the bridge, huge window. The bar pleased with delicious cocktails. Also delicious food right in the hotel. Elevator as a special kind of art
