Good location close to downtown. Dormitory living and very basic. Kind and helpful young staff. I was rarely at the room but a place to sleep and Wi-Fi. The cost was low compared to a hotel. Thanks for the stay

A King's stay
This summer residence stay experience was exceptional on many fronts. The reception and the room preparation staff have been top notch. I highly recommend this location on a main bus line (route 1), a 2 km walk to downtown to the East passing by the fantastic Public Gardens as well as three away from Point Pleasant Park to the South. The colourful neighborhood is worth the walk to the Citadel. The student residence is roomy and impeccable. Worth the extra effort to stay out of the tourist zone of hotels. A definitive way to enjoy Halifax as a local.

This is a dorm, which is fine.
Shared bathrooms, which is ok.
Just they only give towels and soap for one day, they don’t refresh the rooms.

Room was clean, and washroom was far from the room which we don’t like it.

There was a mouse in our room. We had booked for 7 days, and unfortunately we’re not allowed to use the kitchen so we had to get drinking water from the shared bathroom sinks. University itself was nice though.

Accommodations for parking is needed. I was checking out at 9 and staff was reluctant to issue me a pass for two hours so my car would not get towed.

Not quiet
I might have been unlucky, but our room neighbor started to slam his room door at 6am. The sound was so loud that I did awake in shock every time. That happened about 10 times within an hour.

Room heat was stuck on full and quite dirty. Had to switch rooms but meant very little sleep or first night.
