King’s College summer accommodation staff were lovely. The room I stayed in was noisy, not sure if it was HVAC or what; however I the room was clean and tidy. The bathroom showers could have been cleaner. Over all it was okay and a great price for a short stay in central Halifax.

This place was disgusting. No heat, windows in the dorm didn’t close and they give you the thinnest blanket in the WINTER. The place was filthy with mice and mouse droppings everywhere. I would never go back to this place.
