It was a quiet stay, nothing fancy - you get exactly what you're expecting from a stripped down dorm. Location was handy and the price was right. Showers left a bit to be desired but it was overall ok. I'd stay again.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Sweet and simple. Nothing fancy but if you are just looking for a place to sleep, it’s a solid spot.
Andrea, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Price is great. Super safe accommodations. A little warm at night and hot water takes a long time to get to shower and even when it finally arrives, it’s like warm. Beautiful university campus and it’s very close to some great food and coffee choices, along with recreation.
Brian, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Better signage would be very helpful. Check in staff while friendly, could be a bit better at explaining where things are, providing wifi info. Overall, good place to spend a night

Clean and affordable place to stay while enjoying Wolfville downtown. Easy to walk to. Stroll through the botanical gardens across the road.

Great place to stay. Large dorm room with several individual washrooms on the halls. Shared fridge and small kitchen. Clean room with linens and towels.

The Acadia University is located near the main street of Wolfville. It was such a lovely campus! I particularly loved visiting inside and outside of the Irving Environmental Science Centre, which was so close to the residence building!!

I arrived to find that air conditioning did not exist in the building. The room was 27 Celsius. A fan could be supplied but that would require a 20$ deposit. The solution was to pay another 45$ and move to the building with AC. This took time and energy when all I wanted to do was sleep. The person at the counter named Blessing was extremely helpful. Kudos to them.

4/10 Fair

The blanket smells of body odour. The shared kitchen has no kettle for boiling water, zero plates, bowl, spoon, etc. Two single use plastic cups were in the room, that all. I was given a room on 4th floor, there was no hot water the night I checked in, so I couldn't shower. The coffee and tea on offer was in a different building block, to access it I must get down from 4th floor, walking out the building where my room is, and through a large open space to another building to the reception area. Because there were no areas to sit, once you get your coffee, you must take it elsewhere to drink it. The check in was difficult too, because the buildings are looked the same and signage for check-in isn't obvious. I paid over $140 per night of stay and got an experience that was worse than accommodation I paid less than $80 for a night!

The dorm room was very clean and quiet. We went to spend the weeeknd helping our son move into another dorm and watch some of the football practices. The grounds were well maintained. Very easy to get around.

Staff were very kind Each person should get two pillows we rented a fan which was great but only knew that through someone else that stayed at another university. Is this advertised? The grounds, buildings are beautiful

Standard student accommodation. Nothing fancy but perfectly fine. Don’t expect luxury. Well situated and quiet. Shared bathrooms.
robert, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good price good location. No A/c or screens over windows. only 3 Shared bathrooms 2 w/ showers per floor. No hot water at night or in kitchen located on each floor. Hall floors never swept or moped in over a month - only bathrooms. In room dusty inappropriate ventilation system left running constantly all summer - should be cleaned during summers.

It’s a university dorm with few amenities. Read reviews! We took a fan and a Kerig coffee maker- thank goodness because it was a hot night. Nice little kitchen area with microwave and full fridge with freezer. Exactly what we expected. Check in area not well marked but staff were very friendly. We are both alumni so it was fun to come back!

Rien de plus qu' une chambre (sans air climatisé). Il faut être équipé pour profiter de la cuisine car il n'y a absolument rien. La serviette était cachée dans le armoire. Tout était très propre. Stationnement peu commode. Laveuse et sécheuse à disposition.
Helene, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a pretty solid choice for affordable summer travel accommodations with one big issue. It's a standard single dorm room with a bed, desk and wardrobe. There's a shared bathroom - two of them - and we were there with very few other people so there was no issue with waiting. There is a kitchenette with a fridge/freezer which we used to freshen up our cooler ice packs. What's the issue? There's no air conditioning and no fans. And when we were there Nova Scotia was in the grips of a heat wave. We went out and bought a fan from a local hardware store so we could sleep. The good news is we were there only one night and we are now up one portable fan. That said, parking was right by the building and the downtown strip was within walking distance (5-10 min). It's a great option, but book when the temperature isn't in the 30s, bring your own fan or prepare to sweat.
