    There was no breakfast and no availability to make coffee, tea or anything to make a simple food or beverage. Coffee shops, corner stores, or other amenities were a fair distance away.

    At 81 years old the thought of "gender neutral" washrooms was a bit uncomfortable but I would stay again.

    I needed an affordable place for a night,this room suited me well as it was a sleep and gone and I did not require any extras so I really cannot comment beyond my requirements,Thank you.

    Guests use the shower stalls and get the floor wet. A better splash barrier might help.

    Could not find drinking water, and room was hot as it had no air circulation.

    Bright, airy rooms. Very clean. Public rooms clean. Quiet, even though we were sharing a hall with some kids sports team. Beautiful campus, I would absolutely come back. Appreciated the amenities, as my sister forgot towels.

    no microwave available. it didn’t matter to us but travellers should know there is a no alcohol policy.

    very easy to find and centrally located. it was more spacious than I expected. It had two fridges in the room. The bathrooms were very close to the room. it was much quieter than I was expecting. The building was historic but the facilities all felt modern and new.

    No AC but fortunately, it was not too hot when I was there. The showers have low water pressure but I suppose that's a "first world problem" and it's probably like that for environmental reasons or something.

    The dorm that I was in looked like it was recently renovated and very clean. Was there breakfast available? I was not aware. King's College is very old so there's a cool old-timey feel to the place while the rooms inside are appropriately modern. The Number 1 bus nearby is convenient. Or, you can get your steps in and walk to get food.

    There is no AC and the fans available at the front desk were all gone when we requested one. Parking is around $18 per day but free between hrs of 4 pm-8am. Not much parking outside actual building where you are staying.

    Property was clean and quiet. Good value for $ considering the prices of hotels in downtown Halifax.

    Unisex public restrooms and washrooms feel inconvenienced. The room is small. Lack of drinking water facilities. The refrigerator in the room is very noisy. The corridor is very hot.

    The location is very convenient, closed to downtown(waterfront).Route 1 bus station is in front of the building,which directly reaches out waterfront and Halifax shopping center.The price is affordable. There is a 24-hour front desk, they are all students, very friendly. Clearly marked and easy to find. Located on campus, very safe.

    There was a mouse in my room one night which did not make me feel that things were very hygienic. I understand mice are fairly common but I do not expect to see them in a room I have paid for. I told the staff the next day and they didn't show any concern or apology. They just said I could move rooms but I didn't feel like packing my stuff up etc. Bathrooms were clean enough but also not super clean. E.g. the bins were taken out and some things cleaned but not everything - there was a decently sized dead bug on the floor next to the toilet that was not cleaned up during my entire stay (1 week). Nonetheless, the bathrooms were good enough. The location of the accommodation is convenient, safe, quiet, but be aware that there are no supermarkets or really any shops, cafes or food options under a 20 minute walk away so sometimes you can end up without easy access to food. I like walking so it was fine, and there is also a bus stop that goes straight downtown right outside the accommodation which was easy enough - but just something to bear in mind that you feel somewhat removed from the heart of the city and there's not much in the immediate vicinity.

    Great value for money, spacious room, bed was comfy enough. Bathrooms were okay as far as shared bathrooms go - they had places to put your towel, toiletries and clothes which is often rare in a shared shower - it was nice to not have it getting wet all the time. Nice to have a mini fridge in the room and good desk and storage. Conveniently located for the Dalhousie University archives which was the reason for my visit. This accommodation was so affordable and a really great alternative to hostels which were all booked up and not cheaper - really appreciated having proper privacy and space to myself even if it was not the most luxurious place.
