Very clean and affordable, perfect location.

Granville Hall was smack dab in the middle of downtown Halifaz. Everything we wanted to see or do was usually only a 10 minute walk away including the Citadel, the Wharf, Harbour Hopper and so much more! There is tons of food options around or bring your own to cook in the full kitchen. Bathrooms were always clean. The only problem we experienced was the plug in kept falling out of the wall so the fan wouldn't stay on during the night. And the chair for the desk needed some screws, but it wasn't dangerous, you just couldn't lift it well. Be prepared to walk and the third stairwell is a little narrow with luggae. Otherwise, an amazing stay. We felt safe with multiple security pins and the other peoppe in the dorm were friendly.

The accommodation was great. Good room with mini fridge, super clean everywhere, nice showers, kitchen on every floor and comfy lounge with smart tv. Right in the city centre close to the waterfront and many cafes and bars. But the communication and check in were awful. Pretty much impossible to get a hold of someone on the phone even during office hours and thankfully we met someone from house keeping who could help us with the check in as we hadn’t received the needed email to get our codes. Altogether a comfy stay for a night or more but as everything around Canada rather expensive for what you get.

Very happy with our recent stay here, keeping in mind this is university housing accommodation with shared bathrooms, 2 per floor - each floor has 12 rooms. No AC in rooms but windows open & fan is provided. Very quiet in the building but there is construction currently being down nearby. Location in downtown Halifax is excellent but parking around facility is pricey but that’s the case regardless of where you stay.

Nice

Excellent value for money in a central location. Comfortable bed and very clean

Loved finding an affordable downtown option. It is a dormitory. The room is small and not big on comfort items. But it is clean, there is a big shared kitchen fully stocked and it is close to all the downtown places you'd want to go.

It was close to the Boardwalk, a few minutes away. Quite enjoyable.

If you’re a light sleeper this may not be the best option if you need a good nights rest. At night the sounds of doors opening and closing can be easily heard. Location is great and the price is good for what you’re receiving (clean facilities, a private room, contactless check-in). I will note that I did observe some pest traps set up in the room I stayed in (it would seem that many of the older buildings in downtown Halifax have their challenges with pests like ants and mice). Overall, it was a pleasant stay for a very affordable price.

Only stayed one night, but the small room was perfectly fine, given the price point. The shared bathroom and kitchen facilities were both clean and the entertainment lounge was great, including a nice big TV. Would definitely stay here again. The only negative was the small beds, which aren't long enough for anyone over 6 feet tall.

There’s no ac at this property. It was a really hot weekend in Halifax and they only have ac in the common areas so a lot of the guests staying J’s their room doors cracked open. Laundry is also not available for short stays. Other than that, Granville hall is pretty cheap considering how much other accommodations cost in the area. It’s very clean considering the washrooms are shared. The cleaning ladies are super efficient and nice.

Although the common areas were air conditioned, the room was not (although the electric fan helped a bit with the heat/humidity). The TV lounge was awesome, with a large TV and access to many services. Note that soap/shampoo typically provided by hotels are not available at Granville Hall, so you will need to bring your own.

Great place to stay if you are on a budget and don't require any luxuries. Excellent location, clean, comfortable.

well organize and clean

Great place. Excellent price for being so close to the water. Walking distance to alot of places. I would stay again. Only issue the room gets hot and stuffy. A/C would be nice. There was a fan in the room which helped. The common room, kitchen and washrooms had a/c so was comfortable.

Great price, great location and very clean. Will definitely try to come back.

Yeah, that was very nice. Sure, the people around you are nice. The restaurants are nice. The workers were nice.

Room was very small

Comfortable and clean. Our room was great but another guest saw two mice.

Wonderful accommodations. Super clean and secure. Check in was a bit complicated but texts were answered pronto. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

It was a great place to sleep, comfy bed and pillows. Stayed only one night but would stay longer next time.

Very clean & comfort place. I'll stay there again.

Clean and convenient for the harbour front and eating options. Staff was helpful. Overall great experience.

not the hostel’s fault; road construction and adjacent building renovations. BEWARE though if you presume the all hostel facilities have aircon; GH does not but it was my oversight that I missed that it did not list AC as part of amenities

No air conditioning and no television. Central location was convenient, but navigating downtown is not.

convenient camp bed ok for 1night

Good property, would stay again

We just needed a place to sleep and nothing fancy. Grandville hall is it. Thanks!

what was unique is that there is no staff but all the instructions for building/room access are sent to you 24 hours in advance so there are no problems with no staff.

Nice room and bathrooms were clean. Very noisy outside past 10, but I'm old.

I wanted to do laundry but didn't have a laundry card and nobody could tell me where to get one. no laundromats in the area. frustrating.

Fantastic. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
