Dalhousie University Accommodations

A great place to stay for solo travellers! Pros: Great location close to downtown, private room, inexpensive and tasty breakfast/lunch/dinner buffet served daily, very clean bathrooms, comfortable bed, ample storage space, towels and linens provided, able to store luggage past check out time, friendly staff, access to pool and gym included with room Cons: Loud at times (doors slam), no screen on window, no AC, light above bed didn’t work, lack of pillows Overall, this place gives you the best bang for your buck! The location is great and super close to transit as well. As a solo female, I felt safe walking around the building at night. If I’m travelling solo in Halifax again I would likely stay here again! :)

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.

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.

Very nice place to stay.
