loved the European charm, Breakfast at The Arms was great. lovely staff. No carpet in the rooms, only under the bed ( this was the best!!!!). Do not remember if they had heated floors but the room was nice and cosy, also had a comfy blanket!

The location is superb, right in the heart of downtown. The hotel is charming and historic. We encountered some technical issues in our stay but the staff was quick to help. We recommend this place for travellers who want to explore the city...

I like staying at historic hotels. It is great location across from the public gardens and near the Citadel, off Spring Garden road, not far from Dalhousie. The place was clean and the staff was excellent.
