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.

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.

I didn’t particularly like the shared bathroom. Also, they could’ve been cleaned better.

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

-Poor wifi, (always disconnect)
-Laundry needs to do coin operated for guest (it is card operated- we don’t have card)
-No microwave oven to heat food so I eat my cold left over food.
- i did not enjoy my stay…. I checked out early… ( 2 days early)

There was construction happening in the building while we were staying, which they didn’t disclose. There were also mice traps in the hall near our room, communal washrooms were dirty, and they left the windows open despite it being freezing. Had to check out early due to the conditions. Would not recommend.

Lovely stay!
Accommodations were fine. Pillows could be more appealing but overall, it was quiet and just what we needed for the two nights. Cannot beat this price. Will definitely stay again!!
