If you don't mind shared bathroom/toilet facilities it's great value. Rooms are cosy, but clean and comfortable. Parking can be a problem due to a single driveway and limited roadside parking but all was okay. Take Helen lightly as you may get the wrong idea, but she is friendly and helpful. Jane's restaurant up the road was also nice. more

Basically, this place is designed for budget travellers. It is actually cheaper to stay here than at a youth hostel, and you get your own room. The owner is charging the lowest rates that you will find in Halifax. I had a room for only 40 dollars. It was clean and I could see that the place was well run.... more

The first room was small but clean, well maintained, quiet... more

This lodge is cheaper than the local hostels and you do not need any membership. However, you cannot use the kitchen to cook or the laundry room to do your wash. Also, it's located across the street from the commons park which had a number of robberies where they skateboard during my stay. Other than that, the price was right!!! more

If I go back to Halifax, I'll definitely try to stay back there. The money saved from going to a hotel means a lot more fun around town. It's a pleasant guesthouse with 1 1/2 baths to the five rooms on my floor. There's no a/c, but we had a fan which helped at night (there was a minor heat... more
