A heritage house (hence the name) in downtown Halifax. Walking distance to everything, safe location. The hostel is clean and safe, the staff helpful and friendly. Good sized kitchen and dining area plus a reading room separate from TV room. Backyard space as well. Busy but not distractingly so. Call ahead to book.

Location just a couple blocks from via rail, and short walk to the harbor front. My only dislike was that while you could choose male,female, or mixed dorm, the wash rooms were coed. A plus for the hostel is their commitment for going green. Would definitely go back.

This hostel is located 10 mins away from the heart of downtown Halifax and also a 3 minute walk to the train/bus station and a big supermarket so very ideal. The rooms are good and clean with comfy beds and lockers. Bathrooms were clean with good showers. The kitchen/dining area, TV room, reading room and patio are all great and... More

Loved the location of this hostel, so closely situated to transport and to downtown shops as well as a very large and well equipped supermarket (Atlantic superstore) barely even 400m down the road from the hostel. I found the hostel charming, the exteriors are old but well kept looking like a heritage building should be. My bed(s) were both comfortable... More

The location of this hostel was fantastic!!! Everything you needed was within a reasonable walking distance including Atlantic Superstore (for groceries), the Farmers Market, Waterfront the the Maritimes Museum, Halifax Citadel, Alexander Keith's Brewery, and many restaurants and pubs. The property is older, but it has lots of character, was really clean and friendly staff. We really enjoyed use of... More

I stayed here for one night after flying into Halifax, i think there was a $45 shuttle from the airport. The hostel was clean and the staff were very helpful! Free Wifi on your laptop...It was 5 minute walk from the bus/train station.

We had a private room up on the 3rd floor. The room was not very clean - sheets were changed, but there was dirt and dust on the floors and windowsill. There was a lot of noise from the street below, but we couldn't close the window because it was so hot in there. We didn't get towels, which was... More

We stayed just one night in this HI Hostel in a private room. The room was very small and old furnished. The private bath was in the hallway and not locked by the time we arrived, so other people used it already. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was a little pricy for what we got. Maybe the stay... More

I really enjoyed staying at this hostel. The building is quite old, I think they said almost 150 years, but it's so well kept that you just appreciate it! There were nice details maintained throughout the building and at the same time it was very clean and warm. Stepping into this hostel from outside (October and chilly in Halifax!) was... More
