There was a lot of construction next to the property which made it very noisy. Accessing the building was a challenge as it didn't work the first time we tried. We texted someone and they were very helpful so we eventually got it right. The room we had was lovely and roomy. The beds were very comfortable, bathrooms, kitchen and dining area were very clean. We have no complaints about the place. It was very convenient to get to the boardwalk and restaurants in the area. Would recommend and would probably stay again next time in Halifax.

Chambre sans ventilation

La chambre n'avait aucune ventilation, aucune bouche d'aération. Il y avait une fenêtre mais celle-ci donnait sur un équipement bruyant. Il faisait trop chaud même quand la température extérieure n'était pas chaude.

Very disappointing. The room and especially the sheets smelled of chemicals/bleach very strongly. Both me and my guest had sore throats(and still do), headaches during the length of our stay, and were up both nights sneezing blowing our noses and coughing. I’ve never had allergies before and I equate this to the strong chemical smell in our room. We even tried turning both fans on and leaving the windows open after the second night but it didn’t help. Also both washrooms on the second floor smelled strongly of urine consistently. I had a former student recommend staying here after having a good experience and I’m disappointed to say that we didn’t experience the same.

It's a dorm, but it was quiet and clean. You have to take care of your own stuff, but I loved the location and would definitely stay there again.
