Guest Reviews
- jeff (8/5): - Very affordable. Great parking. Great staff.
- Shauna-Kay (6/5): - The property was conveniently located, and accessible to most amenities. However, beds were uncomfortable and the noise level made it difficult to sleep. I appreciated that parking was convenient and a workout facility was close by.
- Sinéad (10/5): Good solo travel option - I found this a great place to stay as a solo female traveller. It felt safe, and although a little warn down everything was cleaner than I expected. Having access to the pool and gym was also nice. It had tge benefits of a hostel while being able to have your own space.
- Fouad (10/5): - Nice staff nice location
- Tobie (8/5): - Very clean
- Jamie (8/5): - Great stay!
- Kristina & Brad (10/5): - Location was great! Front staff was amazing. Surprisingly quiet & comfortable rooms.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - One morning of our stay, hot water pipe broke and then our faucet started squeaking randomly and then there were RATS on our floor ! Then we couldn’t use the elevator for a bit. The people at the front desk didn’t seem to know anything and the place didn’t come with shampoo, conditioner. The sink’s water pressure was bad and the beds were hard. But there was lots of space to lounge around in the room.
- Matilda (10/5): - It was nice that they let us leave our luggage after we checked out while we did other things. Great location and very friendly staff.
- Matt & Romi (2/5): - The Dalhousie house is a poor value and not set up well, a single bed (which we did not mind), a kitchen with no stove or utensils or cups in the room. A community kitchen down the hall with no cooking utensils, they have a sign that you can RENT cooking utensils. I have Stayed at Hostels across the world that were nicer and provide more value than this place. If you have to rent cooking and eating that is a joke. We checked out early and cancelled our last night just for the idea of this and found a much better and least expensive AirBnb an hour away. The check-in staff was pleasant and nice, the rooms were clean. The location is excellent. This could be a very value and more traveler friendly.
- Jacquelyn (4/5): Do not attempt in a heat wave - Not having A/C in the summer heat wave and the washrooms under renovation was not a pleasant experience. We booked 2 nights but could not sleep in the heat with the poor fan provided. We decided to check out and cut our vacation short a day. This was not an easy thing to do with cancelation policies.
- Candace (10/5): - It was quiet and had what I needed. The bed was a little high off the ground. 24 hr safe was nice and lots of security. I would suggest sign reminders for people to take lint out of dryers cause it was crazy full
- Verified traveler (8/5): - It was pretty good, there are shared bathrooms but they’re nice and clean! The door to your room does not auto lock when you close it. The room itself was pretty small and the curtains were dusty and the room smelled stale.
- Jeannette (10/5): - A bit cool and couldn’t adjust the thermostat. Otherwise, absolutely lovely. Would absolutely stay again.
- Karen (10/5): - Larger than expected and very convenient to have 2 bedrooms sharing a bathroom for my family. Clean, quiet and quite comfortable. Easy drive to sites and restaurants.
- Laurie (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay here. Close to downtown entertainment and restaurants.
- Henry (8/5): - Great place for a great price. Very clean. My only complaint is the rooms aren't air conditioned. I'd keep my window open all day and despite the temperatures dropping to 10-12C, the room never cooled off. They included a small fan which did help when aimed right at me while I slept.
- Cindy (10/5): - Inexpensive.
- Cassyanne (10/5): - Quiet clean convenient and affordable!!!
- Anusha (10/5): - The best accommodation in budget friendly 😇
- Caitlin (10/5): - Great deal for the price. Very clean! No AC but they give you fans.
- Donghui (10/5): - Nice place, nice people
- Tracy (10/5): - Beds were tiny but comfortable.
- Marianne (10/5): - Excellent access to downtown. Only a 30 minute walk , but the area isn’t the safest if you are walking alone at night.
- Paula (10/5): - Both rooms (bed and bath) were spotless abs the bed was super comfortable. Great to be able to purchase soap and get Chan’s to do laundry. Convenient to downtown. Despite all this it’s still only a drab but functional dorm room. Would stay here again as it is good value for price.
- Allison (10/5): - Simple accommodation with a great location for walking to downtown events, art gallery, theatre and restaurant waterfront. Nothing fancy, perfect if you are out and about all day. Generally quiet at night. I heard faint fireworks one night.
- catherine (2/5): - Noisy
- Aldo (6/5): - Great location for a very short visit to campus. The rooms are basically dorm style rooms, very basic. Corridors are noisy, despite quiet hours after 10.00 pm. Room rates could be lower, given how basic the rooms/services are.
- William (10/5): - This is a university dorm, not a traditional hotel. Besides being good value, it was very comfortable. You have access to all campus’s amenities: dining hall, sports plex, library, etc., and it is on the heart of the city. We oarked the car and walked most places during our six day stay.
- Vivienne (10/5): - Clean, quite, close to transit.
- Colin (8/5): - I really liked this place and would definitely return. Quiet and pretty close to downtown (the bike share and bus stop is right next to the Risley residence). Gender neutral washrooms are ok, but there's no place to change in them so you're kinda forced to change in the shower or toilet stall. Would recommend providing more kitchen supplies in the lounge for cooking and eating. I think the hours should be later for dinner time at the dining hall (how about 6-9 range). Otherwise, I would definitely return.
- Naghma (10/5): - Nice clean secure very helpful staff
- Michelle (10/5): - Dalhousie summer accommodations were great. Very clean rooms and bathrooms. The dorms were quiet at night. The staff were friendly and addressed any concerns in a timely manner. The food was adequate. Good variety. Overall it was okay and a great price for a short stay in central Halifax.
- Francis Wing Hao (10/5): - We are so happy that we can book University dorm on Expedia, the 2 bedroom suite are very clean, spacious, quiet, great air con.
- William (10/5): - Location is so convenient. A lot of services, cafes, amenities around. Easy walk downtown great if you’re on a budget.
- Suzanne (8/5): - Clean, inexpensive and ultra-convenient access to campus.
- Jackson (8/5): - Could use air conditioning. Would be a must have in 30° weather
- Gail (8/5): - Staff and property were great. Unfortunately I have asthma and people tend to wear a lot of scent. I had an asthma attack. Except for that evening was great
- Xiaodai (10/5): - The location is great! Close to downtown entertainment area. We are a little busy so there is no much time to visit other facilities, I.e., Gym and dining area.
- Katherine (4/5): - I am Dalhousie Alumni, so I wanted to show my daughter the campus, I thought staying in the dorms would be fun. The service was great, but the room was less than mediocre for the price. $314 including tax for 2 nights. The shared washroom we knew about, and yes there were towels, but nothing else in the room. I feel like there can be more effort put in to the summer accommodations for the price they are expecting. I was grateful for the fans, as it was very hot. Nothing included. It used to be less expensive to stay in the dorms. Now, I would definitely opt for a hotel. I’m sorry for the negative review.
- Kathleen (8/5): Hidden value in Halifax - Great value, central location, felt very safe, staff were helpful and other guests/students very pleasant. Would stay again.
- Curtis (10/5): - Great
- lisa (10/5): - Every thing you need, quiet, spacious, clean but could have used more substantial quilt and pillows and a coffee maker. Otherwise terrific stay.
- Rhonda (8/5): - Very clean & friendly & helpful staff.
- Chelsea (10/5): - Affordable stay right downtown. Can’t beat the location and price of this place!
- Emma (4/5): - Colleague and I stayed at Howe Hall for a conference. We called the front desk every single night for noise disturbances - drunk visitors wandering the halls and making a ruckus at 3AM. Staff didn’t do a thing about it. We had to ask twice to change rooms, and our electrical outlets didn’t work! Won’t be back.
- Gary (10/5): - My stay was perfect, fit everything I needed. I had a friend who unfortunately could not take advantage due to your pet policy. It would be nice if their was a solution for people with small well-behaved dogs to stay. Thanks.
- Xiaochen (2/5): - I would give it zero star if I could. Found a rat in the dining hall. Rude dining hall staff and front desk staff. Unbearable smell in the dorm.
- Sterling (8/5): - It’s a good place to stay. It’s close to downtown. Price is right. Staff are great. Rooms and facilities do show their age but aren’t dirty by any means. My wife and I stay whenever we can.
- Sydney (6/5): - Howe Hall was NOT accessible friendly , and parking was not close either
- Riley (8/5): - Really solid cheap stay in a prime location for enjoying downtown halifax. Access to dalplex is also a really nice accomadation. Only downside really is that the higher floors get hot in the summer and the fan is pretty small
- Nicholas (8/5): - I think this is a really great alternative to a hotel! I would definitely recommend this to anyone coming by for a shortish stay, and the staff is very polite and kind. Only thing to write home about was the shared bathrooms. Though they were clean, the motion sensor lights and the half open doors are terrifying at night lol. Other than that, great alternative!
- Leticia (8/5): - .
- eugene (8/5): - Good value for money
- Suleyman (10/5): - Ocean
- June (10/5): - staff were very friendly and helpful.
- Fawzia (10/5): - Loved the layout and cleanliness . Need a tea/coffee station in the kitchen
- Robert (10/5): - Multiple stays here. Always great.
- Angus (6/5): - There was a subtle but frustrating chirp every ~30 seconds coming from the hallway, maybe a smoke alarm with low battery. I reported it after a sleepless first night but it remained unresolved on my second night. This made it hard to sleep.
- Krista (10/5): - Great location. Staff were excellent! Room was very clean
- Catherine (6/5): - Shower only had cold water and when you closed the door there was a 1cm gap all the way down which was uncomfortable since it is all gender bathroom. The door for my bedroom locks automatically which would have been nice to know in advance. The price is good, area good too
- Peter Vincent (8/5): - Good proximity to downtown Halifax. Clean and inexpensive with helpful staff.
- Melissa (6/5): Not family friendly - Coed showers did not make it feel safe for our young daughter to go to bathroom/shpwer.
- Rob (8/5): - Nice staff. Quiet rooms
- Douglas (10/5): - A good spot. Easy access to on-campus conferences.
- Derek (8/5): - Great value and lication..
- James (10/5): - Great location. Friendly staff.
- Nicholas (10/5): - Great service
- Kathy (8/5): I may be getting to old for this - The university is great, easy check in, nice staff, safe, super clean, awesome showers. There is a clean communal kitchen down the hall to cook and store food and there is a nice tv room which I made use of both. My only complaint is the beds, you need to be ok with sleeping on a hard glorified cot. These mattresses are hard, my bed had noisy springs and it was zero comfort. Having said that, my 25 year old son, had zero issues and had two great nights sleep. So it is very likely I have become “sensitive” in my years but I can’t do the dorm beds thing again. However in terms of all the other stuff, I’d give it 10/10 for safe, clean, economical, centrally located (with free parking) accommodation.
- Thomas (10/5): - The accommodations were exceptionally clean and the bed was very comfortable. Close to downtown and it’s many attractions.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Recent stay at Risley Hall - I found the room and shared bathroom mostly clean. The women's hygiene station in the bathroom needs to be cleaned more frequently but the shower was nice and clean. I also understand there may be a policy for students not to ask for printing to be done by staff, but I think visiting guests should be accommodated in this manner. Lastly the vending machines are not great. I imagine there's a contract across the university but two machines ate my money and the product was not delivered.
- mary ann (10/5): - Very nice place to stay.
- Ananya (10/5): - loved our stay in one of the suites, would stay again!
- Alexandra (10/5): - Good stay for the price, includes laundry
- David (6/5): - Basic but also economical, however the showers is Risley hall could use some attention they are very tired, and the kitchen work surfaces didnt seem to be cleaned daily either
- Eliza (6/5): - The property itself was great - clean, modern, safe and within walking distance of most of downtown. The only issue were the beds; the mattresses were insanely uncomfortable and the bedding really thin, which made for some really cold nights. Otherwise, everything was fine.
- Cheryl (8/5): - Very nice option instead of a very pricey hotel. My sister and I spent a few days in Halifax and we each had our own room (typical dorm room) and a connecting bathroom. Very basic of course but great for just having a place to sleep. Very impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms also. Didn’t check out any common areas or kitchen or pool. We would do this again.
- Doreen (10/5): - Staff were very helpful, the property and room were great value for its price and the area felt safe and in a good location. There's also free parking and staff let us store our luggage for a few hours after we checked out. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again!
- Renee (6/5): - My only issue with this accommodation is expedia listing multiple addresses rather than just the one required. A 50 minute walk in the rain rather than what should have been 10 minutes is slightly frustrating. The staff from dal were A . Expedia, not so much.
- Emilly (10/5): - Very clean rooms, pretty quiet and not too crowded when we stayed. Great option for affordable accommodations with more privacy than a hostel.
- Elliot (10/5): - Great property. Clean, efficent, queit. The risley hall residence has no airconditioning and they only prpvide one pillow. Other than that a very pleseant stay.
- Ryoko (8/5): - The facility and room are very clean. If I could use dishes at least a cup for tea ir coffee, it would be nice.
- Tom (8/5): - Very basic accomodation. Shared washrooms could have been a bit less stark. Also laundry facilities should have clearer labeling and instruction. Maybe the students get an orientation but the guests have to guess how to operate the machines and figure out which are the washers and which are the dryers. Also doors on public rooms (kitchen, lounge) didn't always open and there was no notice about when those rooms were available for use.
- Judith (8/5): Great! - Clean, conveniently located. Had trouble with people noise after quiet hours
- Peggy (10/5): - It was a nice place to come to after travelling each day I made this my home base this week
- Veronika (8/5): Comfortable for solo travellers - It was super nice and handy to have my own room with a sink. I felt very safe and comfortable. The only thing I did not like and didn't expect is that the kitchen did not have any kitchen wear so I could not cook my own meals. However, I could use the fridge, though it smelled bad and was full of expired and rotten food which made me hesitant to use it.
- Stephanie (6/5): - The staff were lovely and it felt secure. The bed was so uncomfortable that it made it hard to sleep and aggravated pre-existing back problems. I would recommend this accommodation if you are on a budget and don’t mind a less comfortable bed. The location is great and the staff are wonderful.
- Alana (8/5): - Very few amenities, quite a cold environment
- Kadi (10/5): Very good and unique experience - Red the security desk person was awesome and very helpful and friendly. The showers could be a little cleaner and have more shelves and not be dark until you close the door but other than that it's a great value for the price and the parking pass is nice that it's included very much appreciated that it's not extra for parking like at many hotels. It's very close to the water front and has some nice views from the lounge.
- Karen Elizabeth (10/5): - If you ever lived in a residence building while you were at school, you know exactly what to expect here! They keep the place well cleaned (as much as shared bathrooms in an older building can be, at any rate), and the beds are as comfy as school loft beds ever are, with cozy fleece blankets if it gets chilly. Lots of convenient outlets for your devices, big desk if you've got some work to get done, very friendly and knowledgeable staff, and the location's central so you can get anywhere in the city either by walking or a quick bus trip. Perfect as a base-camp when you've got plans and things to do during your days, although probably not a place you'd want to kick your feet up and spend a whole day in the room (unless you're nostalgic for the halcyon student days of cramming a last-minute assignment into a 24-hour panicked fugue? You do you).
- Melissa (8/5): - Staff was very helpful and room was clean and perfect. As somebody with allergies and sensitivities I very much appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms. We got the suite with 3 private rooms, 2 washrooms and a kitchen with full sized fridge and freezer. Residence was central to everything we needed for our 3 night stay, quiet and we felt quite safe. Would recommend!
- Brian (8/5): Vacation - Dorm room. Quiet and on a budget.
- Bora (6/5): - Airconditioning would be a big imprivement
- Germain (8/5): - Nice
- Agnes (8/5): enough basic sleeping room - Just basic sleeping room dorm student type Enough what u pay no utensils u can heat bring your own
- Yadav (6/5): - Not bad for the price paid. But water in the shower was not clean. My skin started to itch and turned red after showering. Happened to my partner as well.
- Marie-France (10/5): - I thoroughly enjoyed my short stay at Dalhousie. Excellent value! Thank you for the kind and efficient welcome and service.
- Joan (10/5): - Very reasonable, centrally located, walked to downtown. Room basic, but very adequate. Convenient kitchen on the floor with fridge and stove. Can rent cooking equipment and cutlery, dishes, etc. very cheaply. Also can supply hair dryer. Thank you.
- Donald (8/5): - Beautiful historic buildings in the area. More than enough sights to see walking distance. Hallways can be noisy when trying to sleep in the residence.
- Sina (10/5): - Great place. Very clean.
