Everything about our stay and the value compared to other accommodations was GREAT! The only downfall was that the rooms weren’t connected directly to the building’s ac (seemed to only be in the hallways), but our room did at least have a window that could open and a circulating fan.

The check-in was easy, the staff was polite, helpful, and made me feel very welcomed. The location is situatated in a beautiful & quiet neighborhood. The building shower and washrooms were well-kept. The property featured a dining hall (very affordable), vending mavhines, a store for small goods and a tim hortons thats fully serviceable. 5 outta 5

We just found one microwave in the lounge and nothing in our room to keep food so it was hard to cook something. The room was hot but big and clean. The beds were confortable.

The only downside to this place was the no A/C. Definitely not a deal breaker, but it was hot. Other than that, it was good for a two night stay. Close to downtown and easy to get to and from.

Great value accommodation in South Halifax. The rooms are basic and a bit gloomy but the bed was very comfortable and everything was pretty clean. It would've been super helpful if there was a small fridge available to use but the microwave in the lounge was handy. Helpful staff and good public transport links, about 30 minute walk to the main boardwalk area

It was a pleasure to stay at Saint Mary's Loyola Residence this summer in July for 10 days. It resides close to Point Pleasant Park, the area is tree laden and gorgeous. While I was there, the cafeteria was open, along with a coffee shop with breakfast options, and a convenience store, among other options. I especially loved the staff working at the main desk 24/7. So lovely and kind. One more note, everything was so very clean. The building itself was lovely .

A very basic accomodation. Budget friendly. Beds were not the most comfortable, airflow in the room was minimal. Very clean. A fan was provided for added comfort. No kettle or coffee maker available. Microwave available.

It’s very convenient accommodation if you just looking for somewhere to sleep and take a shower. Overall, if you don’t mind seeing bunch of hair on the floor, place is pretty clean. I recommend getting indoor shoes. Staff is really helpful and so nice. You have to walk pretty much everywhere but it’s really close to downtown(15-20mins). If you are a solo traveler with low budget, this is where you stay.

The room was solid. It was good to have my own space. The shower and bathroom were both good. The room was very hot however. There was a small fan, but it did little to combat the heat. The staff were efficient, but didn't interact with me much. Also, this isn't a negative for the accommodation but I would have preferred if there were more people around to chat to. It felt pretty isolating at times.

As dorm rooms go this was pretty good. There were fans due to the heat wave, and the area was convenient to walk to downtown - probably about 25 minutes. The beds were comfortable and the view took in the Halifax harbour. You also got a birds eye view of the athletics field and we were treated to several mens league soccer games. Kind of a cool element.
The shared bathroom was clean and there was a separate single shower room. There were few people in our pod but there was never a wait for the facilities.
The only negative points were: One of the elevators opened reluctantly and we learned to avoid it in case we got trapped; and the hallway to our pod of rooms had the feel of a prison - low security prison to be sure, but there was a vibe. That said the whoe experience was quite nice. There's laundry facilities readily available on another floor. Parking is right outside the building. If you're travelling on a budget or with a small family this might be a great option for you.
