Liked: Cleanliness
Convenient location downtown. Online check-in, and combination codes worked well. Room was quieter than we had thought it would be. Everything seemed clean. A small repair was necessary in the bathroom. ..and there was nowhere at all to lay down any objects in there, such as shave kit, which was a little inconvenient. But otherwise good.

My stay at Granville Hall was exactly what I wanted — a clean, quiet place near the waterfront! The staff were friendly, and the property was well managed and clean. I walked around easily to parks, museums, restaurants, shops and tourist attractions. Transit is also available nearby (I took a bus to and from the airport — with a short walk to Granville Hall.) Great for solo travellers!

Easy access to downtown and very quiet in the summer as it’s the break for students. This place is as advertised ! Perfect for a solo traveller needing a quiet place to crash with all the amenities.

Good but ... Let's start with the pros. It's a student residence and as long as you understand that when you book, you will know what to expect. The rooms are well furnished with a comfortable bed, a mini-fridge and a desk and wardrobe. The shared bathrooms are clean and well-functioning. Each floor is also equipped with a kitchen. The location is perfect and you are in the literal center of Halifax with many attractions just a short walking distance. However, there are cons. There are no staff on site at all, aside from the cleaning people who come in the morning. There is an office at the entrance with posted hours but no one was ever there during my 5-day stay. I could only communicate via text message with a support line, which I needed to do so upon arrival, as the codes they gave me did not work and it took nearly 40 minutes before it was resolved. Apparently, non-working codes are a regular thing, as they have a sign on the door with instructions in the event it happens, but which begs the question, if so many people have issues with codes, why can't they fix their own system? As well, their support staff have very poor public relation skills and tend to not respond if you ask them a question they don't know the answer to, nor do they offer apologies for any inconveniences. However, despite these cons, the stay was still comfortable.

Clean, affordable and very comfortable with a nice kitchen available for use. Near to a shopping centre and a short walk to the waterfront or Citadel. Mostly very quiet until the last night when construction workers decided to start early in the morning to dig up the sidewalk across the street.
