As mentioned in my previous review, check-in was a breeze, although it did take me a fair bit of figuring out as to where on the campus the accommodation was located during our (my family included) first one-night stay on campus. Had to ask around to finally locate the building. On the return stay after our road trip, of course it was much easier. On the whole, the rooms were spacious enough. Sufficient utensils to assist in cooking up a meal to feed several rather hungry tummies! Location was good too.

Feels more like a boutique hotel than a hostel. Couldn't recommend more strongly.

The room was spotless. So was the bathroom! Kitchen is organised and there's a small refridge and a big fan in the room. That's super helpful during summer time. Easy to check-in and check out. The location is really good too. Wish I could stay longer.

All hostels in Halifax

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

This is a 4b2b student dormitory suite, the price is not high based on the average price per bedroom, so it is good for multiple people, however, we are two people.The building is relatively modern, clean, and there is a parking space at the door.Quite and safe. The hallway is hot.

Budget stay with great location. Rooms were passable but a bit warm (was hard to cool them down at night). Recommend getting a room on any floor but the basement (windows do not open down there) and also facing the courtyard vs the road (noisy).
