This is an excellent place to stay for a short visit to Halifax. It is close to all tourist sites (we walked or cycled everywhere), parking is free and the rooms are roomy with lots of storage space to unpack your bags. Laundry facilities were a welcome surprise.

We didn’t know what to expect when staying at King’s College for our trip to Halifax but we were pleasantly surprised. The double room spaces are quite large, the price is affordable, and the staff are generous and work hard to make the stay enjoyable for you. Would definitely stay again!

It was a unique experience and would recommend staying there. The staff were very friendly, the rooms were clean. If you are looking for a safe budget friendly place to lay your head this is a good spot for that. One thing I would suggest would be having a second blanket in the room in case it is needed in the middle of the night.

If you want a safe, budget-friendly stay in Halifax, this is a great option. It has security, free parking, and a central location. The accommodation is very basic- bed, towels, soap and shampoo- but if you are here to see the city. you do not need a fancy room. It was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The staff was vey friendly and helpful.

For the price this place was perfect clean simple liked having separate sleeping areas for each bed. It wasn’t really a room for relaxing though but for a clean safe place to stay while exploring Halifax, it was perfect room didn’t come with water, but it does have a fridge you have to be prepared for communal washrooms on each floor.

The rooms were clean, the check in and check out was smooth. The washrooms even if shared were clean. They may have limited fans for got summer days, so it pays to ask ahead for them. Overall, this would be my go to pick when I visit Halifax since the price and quality are unbeatable!

Can't beat this place for a cost-effective way to discover Halifax. Very clean, staff helpful; internet was difficult to access and beds not overly comfortable. But hey, it's a university residence!
