As a solo traveller who was in Halifax for only one night, this was a perfect no-frills place to stay. There was an event downtown and the hotels were over $500 so this was a no-brainer. There were lots of families around and there is campus security monitoring overnight. It’s up and away from the road so not many people driving past unless they are going to the school or the other residences. About a 15 minute Uber ride to downtown.

Good value. Definitely not fancy but that was not what I was looking for. Everything was clean. Free parking. All the people working there were extremely helpful and willing to bend over backwards. Would have been cool if there were some cooking pots and utensils available in the apartment but maybe there was ( I never asked). I would definitely come back and would recommend to small group.

It’s a university residence. If you go in with that understanding, it’s great. It’s not the 4 seasons. But I loved it. And the woman at the desk on Friday night was amazing and very professional.

Loved how it was all single rooms for a hostel, the only thing you shared was the bathroom in the hallways and even that was private bathroom just in the hallway, as well as the common area. Nice and quiet except for the construction happening across the road, and the rooms were pleasant. For the price and location, would be back

Good price for a basic twin bed dorm style room. Clean, semi easy to find, easy check in. Close to downtown, 15 minutes. Easy access to airport, 25 minutes. Simple and basic. Better to have own car if staying there!!

My stay was completely derailed by a severe safety and security issue. Late one night, I had to deal with a highly erratic individual, accompanied by an unknown person, causing massive chaos right outside my door. They were knocking and trying to push their way into my room at midnight. This quickly escalated into them screaming unhinged, discriminatory and offensive abuse towards me. The situation was so out of control that security and then the police had to intervene. This individual was shortly arrested. The most shocking part was when the responding officers explicitly stated that this individual was actually on house arrest, and that this university residence was the address as part of their release conditions. Furthermore, their stay had been prepaid for about a month. This means the property had explicitly agreed to house someone under the active supervision of the criminal courts while the general public was booking rooms right down the hall. The consequences of this dangerous situation came right to my door in the middle of the night. Two unknown individuals attempted to push their way into my small dorm room in a strange city—all because the property was de facto functioning similarly to a halfway house. Despite my attempts to discuss the matter with staff and calling the manager, no one seemed to care about my experience in the days following the event. As a visiting guest just looking for a place to sleep, finding out you are sharing a paper-thin dorm hallway wit

We stayed in a 4‑bedroom, 2‑bathroom dorm unit at Mount Saint Vincent. It was spacious, clean, and a decent price for what you got. Each bedroom was basic but comfortable, and having two bathrooms made mornings much easier. The location is a bit outside downtown Halifax (about 15‑20 minutes by car), so plan for that if you don't have a vehicle. Parking was fine. Overall, a solid budget option for a group or family. Not fancy, but good value.

Quiet building. We booked the 4 room apartment with 2 bathrooms. Lots of room. Beds were super singles, I believe (longer than a twin). Not the best sleep, but what do you expect when your 58 and sleep in a queen. Bring your own fan for a/c as the rooms are a little stuffy. Good water pressure. Tv stations are basic cable. WiFi included. At check in you are presented with a piece of paper that shows wifi credentials. The funny thing is you are also given a description of how to use the shower 😂! I have never used a shower knob function like this one and the notes were helpful! I would stay again.

When a customer arrives, not everyone carries water at-least offer them a fresh water bottle or just leave it in the room. Other than that refill the machine where we can get water.

The room was great. I especially loved that they came equipped with a sink. I found the mattress challenging to have a good nights rest, but they provided me with an extra pillow for added comfort. The dorm itself was more spacious than I thought with plenty of storage and drawers. I also appreciate the locked washrooms being equipped with showers. I was under the impression that shower stalls were going to be the mode of use, so that was a pleasant surprise. I will definitely be back!
