As someone who travels to Halifax frequently, I was so excited when I read about, and saw photos of, this new hotel. With prices that seemed to be lower than other hotels in the area and a fun, hip looking vibe, my partner and I booked here the moment that we saw it was available. All I can say is that it was a massive disappointment and that I will absolutely not be back. If you have the option to book elsewhere, I strongly encourage you to.
This hotel is essentially a hostel, and it is tremendously over-priced in comparison to the slightly more expensive reputable hotel options downtown.
Rooms are extremely small, beds are super uncomfortable, and there are no refrigerators available to guests. Many amenities that you would normally find in a room, such as ice buckets, are only found in a storage locker near the elevator on each level, assuming that the limited supplies are not all in use.
There is a major air circulation problem at this property. I have never been so warm in a hotel room with the air conditioner on full-blast, in the middle of October. I am thankful that staff were able to bring us a fan after requesting one, but that only really made it tolerable.
The bar in the lobby is a fun touch, but it doubles as the reception desk and the very busy bar (there is a DJ playing techno music on weekends and many non-guests are present) seems to be the priority; unfortunately, this too has an effect on the guest experience.
Parking hard to access and $28/night.
