The Short Version: Small train station with the tiniest…read morelounge I have ever seen in my life, lol. The Long Version: So while the train station is open everyday, there are only 3 departures and 3 arrivals a week. The only train inbound or outbound at this station is The Ocean which goes to and from Montreal (with several stops along the way). There is economy class where you sit in chairs and there's Sleeper Class where you get a cabin (with your own bathroom and shower). The entire Halifax to Montreal trip is 23 hours. If you do the entire trip, with Sleeper Class you get 3 meals included which are served in the dining cart. There's a canteen for Economy class passengers to buy snacks. The main waiting area is large, but the lounge for Sleeper Class customers is the tiniest lounge I have ever seen in my life. There are only 11 seats (!) So people who got there closer to departure had to sit in the main waiting area. The lounge has a Van Houtte coffee machine, teas, soft drinks and juice, which are complimentary for Sleeper Class travelers. I could only take one picture of the lounge because the rest was full of people, but it was very dated looking and even had those old school water radiators. I don't know if they are functional and the room is heated by the radiators or if they are vestigial from times past and the place actually has central heating. I guess it looks homey and has its own charm. It is very different from the Business Class lounges in Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, which are much more modern, but I suppose one could argue are more corporate-looking and less cozy. The main hall is large and spacious and has the same look and feel as other VIA Rail stations. There is a Maritime Bus ticket wicket in the station and a car rental office. There are no food vendors. It's attached to a hotel (the Westin Nova Scotian), which does have a restaurant, but it's quite pricey. There is a supermarket within walking distance (The Atlantic Superstore) and a few restaurants within walking distance. We travelled Halifax to Montreal recently and while our cabin was small, it had the amenities we needed and was as comfortable as can be expected. The seats in your cabin convert to bunk beds for sleeping. It's snug but the small space is thoughtful designed with a tiny foldable night table and reading light. Staff were pleasant and meals were satisfactory. They sounded and looked better than they tasted. Strangely, I found the food on The Ocean not as tasty as the food served in VIA1/Business Class along the Windsor to Quebec City corridor. Although the presentation was better and of course eating in a dedicated dining cart has its charm, over eating at your seat. There's a dining cart on the train where meals are served. They have 2 seatings for lunch (12pm and 1:30pm), and 3 seatings for dinner (5pm, 6:30pm and 8pm), you chose which seating time you want. Breakfast is open and you go anytime 6am-9am. Be advised that if you are traveling as a couple you may be seated with strangers at a table for four, if all the tables for two are occupied. The have activities like wine tasting, railway trivia, Maritime trivia and some live music entertainment. The Ocean is fun to take. We've done the trip several times. The Halifax train station itself is ok. I suppose since it has so few departures and arrivals it's not surprising that it has less there than stations with more traffic. I was going to give it 3 stars, but considering the low traffic to and from this station compared to the bigger cities, I guess I need to compare it to train stations in small towns, so I settled on 4 stars given the situation. There is paid parking available, both long term and short term parking. Review #133 (2026)
