Great friendly, hospitable, knowledgeable staff. Overall happy with the accommodations. Slept comfortably. I would recommend and stay again. I wish the basement rooms had windows that were more accessible to open for fresh air since there's no AC. Bathroom showers could use a better scrubbing in the corners. There were cob webs & long leg spiders. Spider & cob webs in the corners of the room too.

This place is cheap which is great. The room was very hot and stuffy. Hard mattress. The bathroom is down the hall and for all genders. I didn't want to shower while someone is pooping a few feet away.

I checked in and left to attend a concert without being in my room more than a few seconds. When I returned, I quickly realized that the heating system was turned on and the radiators here hot. That would be awesome in February but we are in July in a prolonged heat wave. The heaters were overpowering the open window. I had no choice but to leave and I faced a long drive home at midnight.

King’s College summer accommodation staff were lovely. The room I stayed in was noisy, not sure if it was HVAC or what; however I the room was clean and tidy. The bathroom showers could have been cleaner. Over all it was okay and a great price for a short stay in central Halifax.

Not quiet

I might have been unlucky, but our room neighbor started to slam his room door at 6am. The sound was so loud that I did awake in shock every time. That happened about 10 times within an hour.
