기숙사 건물에서 숙박을 했는데, 상당히 편한 방이었고, 청결도도 상당히 좋았습니다. 공용화장실도 쾌적하게 유지되고 있었고, 다만 드라이기는 반드시 본인이 챙겨가야 하는 숙소이니 참고하시길 바래요.^^

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

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.

I stayed here for a concert at garrison grounds. 20-30 minute walking distance and 5-10 minute Uber. For the price it was well worth the money! I would consider staying here again. It was a little warm in the room but I asked for a fan at the front desk and they were more than happy to give us one. Also, the front desk attendant was very friendly and was able to let us check-in early.

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.
