Victoria, 1-night trip

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.
David T, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and quiet. Did the trick for a one night stay.
Samantha, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lorraine, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was okay

It was okay for the price. Not a fancy place, but clean and safe.
shahram, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A very good place to stay.

We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. We had a 4 bedroom suite with 2 bathrooms. It was very spacious . For us the only flaw was that we found the mattresses to be uncomfortable. We knew ,in advance, that there was no air conditioning,so we brought two fans. We were pleased to see that they also provided fans.
Jules, 8-night trip

Quiet and inexpensive
David, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay.
Parvinderjit, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Week day was fine
Nicholas, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Robyn, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent budget accommodation.
Derek, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good affordable place to get a good night’s sleep. No frills. With a car, it is very easy to get around. Public transit is doable. Lovely campus - trees and trails and a pond.
Elizabeth, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Would stay here again
Brenda, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very minimal
Samantha, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Many of the dishes had barely been washed and the furniture in the sitting area was disgusting/filthy.
Heather, 1-night trip

Lynn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good location, worth the money to stay.
