Staying here would have been a lovely experience...except there was a guest in the room next to mine who screamed obscenities and banged on the walls from the time I arrived at 2pm until 1am that night, and began again the next morning at 8am. When I knocked on their door after midnight and they opened the door, they appeared to be using drugs and said they were having a bipolar episode. The college staff was very apologetic the next day and moved my room, but they let this guest stay, which I question. After communicating with the guest that night, I was afraid to reenter the hallway or even use the bathroom because they were clearly not in a stable place and were extremely angry.

This is a good operation, and the staff seems to be great all the way around. The issue seems to be how the building was remodeled with all its fire doors etc, there's no cross-ventilation and the building just retains heat. It could be 15C outside and your window wide open, and it'll still be low 20s in your room and mid 20s in the hallway. The mattress is pretty tough, too. A guy with a butt and and upped back and a smaller waist isn't gonna have his lower back touching the mattress all night, and will be feeling that in the morning (and for several mornings) Having said that, I'd choose this place again for a summer visit to Halifax given the value and enough time for my back and body to recover.

It was good overall and a great price for people who don’t need a lot. It could be a tad cleaner. Some random hairs and dust were in my room.

all you need to rest.

Loved it and will stay again.

Everything you need for your stay is provided. Rooms are quite spacious for dorm rooms. Bathrooms close to the room. My only complaint was the bottom of shower curtain was dirty. $10 Uber ride to waterfront, would definitely stay again.

Shared washroom with showers on 1st floor had little to no hot water, no paper towels, and two shower units had no handles. Entry door to the room, so heavy it had to be propped open with a shoe which is what guests directly across also had to do. I had to clean room desk top because it had congealed something on it. Expedia listing mentioned dining hall which there was not.

Fine for a residence accommodation. Parking is fine but not available until after 4 pm.

The towels have poor quality. It is not made of corton and doesn't absorb water. And it faded and the microfiber is stick to all body

Good

an alright option for a nite or two. Neat and tidy, good surroundings. Transportation and parking.

Actually everything are nice and worth for the prices. Just a bit far from DT Halifax only, nit a big deal if you take the buses.

Sharing a bathroom with men when the shower curtains did not provide privacy made no sense to me. Toilet and stall area were not always clean. Convenient for walking or biking, library had a water bottle refill station, security was good, and wifi was excellent.

I feel very sorry for students who sleep on those mattresses during the uni term. It was brutal for us. The rooms are very hot (no AC), sheets and towels are very thin/well used; dirty dirty dirty coed shared bathrooms (e.g., hair in drains, toilets soiled) - no change in the cleanliness in the 3 days we were there. No coffee or kettle to use. No TVs (not even a shared one). It was an expensive stay for so little in return. The saving grace were the the student hosts - very kind. No parking M to F - only street parking which is nearly impossible to find open space. No closeby eating places. Walked to the harbour each day - about 35 min walk.

Comfortable and quiet room. Convenient location.

I enjoyed the experience of staying in a dorm room and the convenience of being on campus because I didn't do that when I was in university. It was clean and nicely renovated. Staff was helpful when I locked myself out. My only concern was the accessibility of the bathroom and shower. It was a good use of space but close in for someone bigger.

The beds are hard. You have to like a hard bed. But otherwise, fantastic, with amazing staff.

I enjoyed staying at the University. The restroom down the hall was clean and secured. Laundry facilities available, though you do need to load money on a card you can get from the desk.

Pay for parking was $15 extra, staff was banging on the door next to ours at 12:40 am saying House Keeping over and over. and no one was in the room. They began moving furniture on the floor above before 9 am and then had fire alarm drillsthat began around 10:00 am. and they continued for close to 2 hours Coming from a western province the effective time zone was 6am. Beatiful exterior very tired interior. Staff friendly

Mice in room, bathroom out of order

Though the city is highly walkable, there is no information available about mass transit costs, how often common bathrooms are cleaned, and the surrounding area is unlevel causing tripping hazards. I didn't feel safe walking alone at night. I was uninformed about uber, or taxis serves. I was an unfamiliar stranger with little or no information about the local community, or area.

Great location. Room was as expected. Bathrooms not the cleanest and run down. Otherwise the facility was great and the staff at front desk were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Location is perfect.

I had an overnight stay for a society dinner being hosted at King's. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful and I very much appreciated the free overnight parking. I could have stayed at a more expensive hotel in downtown Halifax but this very much suited my needs and was a bargain at the price and an excellent choice for budget conscious visitors to Halifax.

Beautiful area, close to water and downtown Friendly staff Doors close brutally loud There was nowhere to drop off the keys at checkout as we left early, therefore we left the keys in the room, but couldn't lock the room, this leaves the guest's reservation vulnerable to other guests that can go in the room, for example, theft or vandalism

Recommend a summer residence stay to everyone. Not that inexpensive but cheaper than many going hotel rates at the moment.

My son and I were in town for a tournament and this was a quick and easy place to stay. It turned out even better than expected. The rooms were larger than anticipated and it was way more affordable than the available hotels. We had to stay for 3 nights and so, probably saved at least $500. It also allowed us to be in a central location to visit some of our favorite Halifax spots. We will definitely stay here again.

Very convenient. Close to downtown.

Great experience. Thank you

We checked into the property around 8pm and it was around 25-26 degrees in the room. We asked the staff for fans since there was a heat alert in the city. They had no fans available and told us to leave the windows on. There were also issues with the main door lock. The lock had to be placed in a certain position for it to lock. When informed about this, they simply brushed it off and showed us a way to get it done which means it was a known problem which have not been addressed. We also had a guest who did not come with us and one of the other guests did not feel comfortable sleeping alone. We asked the staff if we could cancel one of the rooms and they did not accommodate that request. Usually I wouldn't care since it was a last minute request, but considering the other issues, this should have been taken care of by the staff. Overall, pretty disappointed in the stay even tho we were initially very excited to stay here.

We were only in town for the 1 evening. This 2 bedroom dorm room was perfect. It was easy to get to, within a couple km from the main strip in the Halifax Peninsula, the harbour, parks etc. Easy to access, checking in and check out were super simple. Zero complaints.

It was exactly as you’d expect from a dorm room. Clean amenities including the shared bathrooms. Staff was kind and very helpful. Only wish is that there would be a fan in each room as they are very hot in the summer with no AC!
