My wife and I stayed here for the Saturday of the Halifax Music Festival. ALL of the hotels were booked during this busy time of year. While the room itself is basically a college dorm room (no bathroom in the room) it met our needs for a place to sleep for the night. Reasonably priced, good location and pleasant/helpful staff made it a good place for us.

King’s College summer accommodation staff were lovely. The room I stayed in was noisy, not sure if it was HVAC or what; however I the room was clean and tidy. The bathroom showers could have been cleaner. Over all it was okay and a great price for a short stay in central Halifax.

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

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.

This place is cheap which is great. The room was very hot and stuffy. Hard mattress. The bathroom is down the hall and for all genders. I didn't want to shower while someone is pooping a few feet away.

Great friendly, hospitable, knowledgeable staff. Overall happy with the accommodations. Slept comfortably. I would recommend and stay again. I wish the basement rooms had windows that were more accessible to open for fresh air since there's no AC. Bathroom showers could use a better scrubbing in the corners. There were cob webs & long leg spiders. Spider & cob webs in the corners of the room too.
