My friend and I stayed here for 5 days last summer and enjoyed it immensely. Although, how can you not enjoy staying in Halifax. I love that city! But, back to the hostel. The person helping us at the front desk was very helpful the rooms were clean. Has a great patio out back where we could have a few... More

We stayed 3 nights in this hostel. We had one of the private rooms with a shared bathroom, however it was only shared with another private room, so we almost had it to ourselves. Bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet. The kitchen had everything you need to provide for yourself. The location is great since it is... More

The hostel has a great location. The centre of halifax is in walking distance. We arrived by train and walked from the train station. That was good after 21hours in the train. The hostel is under a great, friendly management. You can get good food at a good price. We had a private room for more privacy. The room was... More

Our room was located in a private wing of the hostel with a living room and washroom (shared... More

Stayed at HI Halifax for 4 nights, we have a wonderful stay. Helpful and cheerful staff; clean rooms and washrooms. Can't ask for more (budget range). Very close to waterfront, airport shuttle, superstore.

Clean Save Friendly staff Everything the other hostel in town is not! Pay the few extra $$ and enjoy your stay in Halifax. We stayed at both hostels so we know first hand which is the best. Thanks for a great stay HI.

I stayed 3 nights here and really enjoyed it. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean, though a little stuffy, likely from the door being closed all the time. Though I didn't use it much, the kitchen was big and well equipped for cooking. I booked online and had no trouble getting my room on arrival. If... More
