Guests love this centrally located, clean, and newly renovated hostel with a friendly staff and great amenities. However, some recent reviews report cleanliness issues in kitchens and fridges, as well as difficulty securing refunds for weather-related cancellations.

Staff were friendly, but couldn’t do early check-in despite traveling in winter (the place was empty). No breakfast, I’d opt for a hotel next time since comparable price to a private room. Stayed in a room with ensuite on the ground floor, and thankfully staff were able to move us to 3rd floor the second night - the heater rads need the window to stay opened, otherwise it’s too hot, and we felt unsafe sleeping at ground floor with folks walking around at night outside. Window was unlocked when we arrived. The common room was also very warm. Location is great - near Pier 21 and short walk to the boardwalk.

So, i don’t know about the property resources; but i booked the room for 2 days; going for US appointment; but due to bad weather and delayed flights; i got halifax and only able to attend US appointment directly but don’t use the room; then i went to back and forth messages with hotel staff and manager; but they deduct no show fees and after requesting for Goodwill refunds they don’t gave it. So my experience was bad; because as we all know weather is unpredictable and i can’t do anything at that time; and they refuse to pay anything.

Was pleasantly surprised with this hostel! Location is great and close to the waterfront. Staff were accommodating, rooms and bathrooms were very clean, and common areas were larger than expected. Beds and lockers are pretty standard, but mattresses were comfortable and I had no safety concerns staying here as a woman.

The perfect Hostel. Within walking distance to all pubs and attractions downtown. This place is super clean. The staff regularly go in to clean the bathrooms. The rooms and common spaces are clean aswell. I highly recommend. I've been having a great time here.

I stayed in a women's-only dorm here and had a good experience! First off, the location was great. I was able to get to most places I wanted by walking. The place feels secure with key access to the building, floors and rooms. Quick heads up that womens dorms are on the 3rd floor with stairs only access, so getting my bag up was an experience to say the least! This hostel has clearly been updated recently and everything looks very bright and new. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. It seemed like bathrooms were cleaned once daily, as well as the rooms. The common areas were clean and well-maintained as well. The kitchen is very spacious. The common room felt a bit hot and stuffy so I didn't spend time there. Where things could be improved: it seems as though the quiet hours were not enforced. There was one night where there was a group on the rooftop deck until probably 2am. I was also not able to get a towel as they had not laundered any in time. As well, the fridge was starting to smell from guests that had checked out and left their food. Should be gone through more frequently. Vibe wise, it's a pretty quiet hostel. There were very limited social events while I was there. It would have been nice to have a few more opportunities to meet fellow travellers, but was a nice and relaxing experience staying there. Overall I would recommend staying here for your next visit to Halifax!

Had a great time here! The space is super clean and there is even a nice rooftop area. Rooms are big enough and have lockers to safely store your stuff. Unfortunately no curtains on the bunks, that would’ve provided a little more privacy. The shared kitchen is big enough and offers everything that you need. Staff is beyond friendly and always trying to accommodate to your wishes. Would stay here again for sure!

Highly recommend, great value for money, very central location and clean. I stayed there for 4 nights in the women’s only dorm in August. The staff was very helpful, common areas are bright and spacious. The other travellers were respectful and friendly and I was able to get good sleep.
