The staff at front desk were amazing. Always ready to assist you. They were available 24hrs, that was very usefull as our door closed in the middle of the night and they were there to gave us a master key. Also they have a daily whiteboard with the wheather and some Halifax festivals and activities inviting to draw...my daughter loved it. Also the stafg at the dinning room were increible, the food options and price of the buffet were great and they had many gluten free options and dairy free optios as well. Cleaning were perfect at the rooms, washrooms, and the entire building. The location is very accesible walkeable to water front and other places as Emera Oval Park, Citadel, Museums, spring garden road, etc. We really want to thank you all for make our stay memorable and super confortable.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
