Liked: This hostel is located in the worst part of the city! I was always afraid for my safety when walking back to the hostel. The ppl staying at the hostel were older therefore a bit less social.

Customer review

24 April 2007 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It had a nice, friendly feel, with lots of room to hang out with the other guests if you so chose. It was a short walk to downtown Halifax, and you could return at whatever time you wanted. There were towels and linen freely available, as well as a computer with Internet access. You felt as though they really were trying to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as they could. I had a wonderful time and would definitely stay there again in any future visits to the beautiful city of Halifax.Thank you!
