Good self-catering place near Halifax

Good location. Good place to stay for those who want to do self-catering. Fully equipped with kitchen, dining area and 2 bathrooms. Relatively inexpensive accommodation. Signs of student abuse/neglect but a good stay overall.

Great value for short stay

Dorm room living perfect for cheap short stay. Room had its own sink which was helpful. Bed was small but mostly comfortable. Extremely clean and very quiet. Only issue is a long walk up the hill if taking public transport.

It is a fine budget stay. No frills, clean, shared bathroom, friendly and helpful staff, easy access to transit, the mattress and pillows leave much to be desired but it’s a dorm. It was perfect for travelling on a shoestring, but would recommend bringing your own pillow.

10/10 Exceptional

Just like home, excellent staff, service, impeccably clean, excellent security, quiet, kitchenette down the hall with microwave, kettle to boil water for coffee(bring your own instant coffee). I bring my own cozy extra pillows and then its just like home! Wish they were open for non students to stay year round, but greatful i can stag there and a very fair and greatly appreciated rate. Wonderful to be able to visit the City and stay over! Thank you so much!

We got 4 bedrooms for our family (3) so everyone of us had a good sleep. The rooms are clean and there is also a kitchen available. The campus was quiet as it was in summer break of the school.

Price was very reasonable. Apartment was perfect for 4 people but would have liked air conditioning as it was quite warm. It was very comfortable which I would recommend.

Was great, n8ce for everyone in a party of 4 to have their own room, and have 2 bathrooms, plus full kitchen. Rhe only downside was not having AC, but at least there were fans in all the rooms.

8/10 Very good

Spacious 4 bedroom apartment, fabulous view of the harbour. It's a university residence so nothing fancy which was fine, but some things need to be cleaned better like the stove fan that was broken and dirty and some walls/broken light switch covers. Suited our purpose for home base while visiting family and we would stay again.
