7.4/10 Good! (36 reviews)
I recently stayed at The Halifax Rooftop Home and can see the vision behind the space. It’s modern, amenity‑focused, and visually impressive. The hot tub, steam shower, decor, and overall futuristic design were standout features, and the space is surprisingly large for a penthouse-style room.
However, several comfort and practicality issues affected the stay. The biggest problem was the bed. The memory foam mattress sank so deeply that it felt like a king‑size cot on a loose, squeaky metal frame. By morning, my back and hips were sore.
The room has a lot of built‑in tech, but the instructions weren’t clear. We spent a lot of time figuring out the blinds, remotes, and other systems. The hot tub was great once running, but the only water source is a slow waterfall-style shower head. The sauna warmed slightly but never reached a true sauna temperature.
A few basics were missing: only one garbage can, no tissues, and a sign asking guests to use makeup wipes even though none were provided. The toilet is mounted unusually high. Checkout is listed as 10am, though the owner was gracious in allowing us to stay until 11am.
The hot tub, steam shower, decor, fireplace heating, and storage were genuinely enjoyable, but clearer instructions and a better bed would make this a much stronger stay.
