The building is very centrally located and the room itself was very nice, as was the kitchen area. Bathroom also very convenient and clean. However, a couple of points: 1) There is no customer service, despite a notice on the office door saying staff will be there 10-4 on weekdays. I wanted a couple of things - to borrow a hairdryer, and to see if I could leave my suitcase for a few hours on the last day. But there was no one to ask. I emailed the address on my booking confirmation, but never received a reply. I was reluctant to phone as it would have counted as a call from the UK on my cellphone plan. If there are no onsite staff during summer holidays, you need to take down the notice saying that there are. And if staff don't answer emails, remove the email address from the booking confirmation. But relying on a mobile phone number alone is in my view not adequate. 2) The room was quite noisy, due to construction work going on directly outside. But presumably this is a temporary problem. 3) Another visitor was also looking for a hairdryer. I think this is definitely something Granville Hall should provide. Perhaps build it into the wall of the bathroom, as many hotels do. 4) In the end, I had to pay a completely separate business to hold my luggage for a few hours - an extra cost which would probably have been avoidable if I'd been able to speak to someone. Not ideal.

We stayed at this property for one night, we travel a lot and no sleeping issues before. But last night we had very bad experience, first of all the top windows no curtains at all, no privacy and too bright in the early morning when you still want to sleep. Secondly, all night is so noisy. We didn’t sleep all night long! Our room number is 201, Other than these two issues, everything else is ok. The property is reasonable clean and well maintained. all the process are smooth as well.

Floor boards in the washroom seemed to be damaged. Everything was a compact sort of like an RV. Service desk closes very soon so don't have any issues after 16:30.

Great for price, not so much for comfort

Great location. Room was a bit tight and desk a bit big for the size of the room. AC was broken and it was crazy hot.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The "laundry" amenity really should not be listed for this property when advertised for hotel-like stays. If you are only staying here short-term, you will not actually be able to use the laundry, as it requires a proprietary "laundry card," which you can only purchase from a human in the office...the problem with that is no one appears to actually be in the office at this property. Posted office hours are 10-4, but checking multiple times over a two-day stay, I never saw a single person during that time period. Also, parking in the area is fairly expensive ($32 for a single overnight at a nearby garage), so if you are travelling by car, you are may not be saving any money here compared to a hotel with its own garage in the area.

I liked that the rooms were very clean and in a good neighbourhood of Halifax. (Central to everything). I disliked how hard the beds were and how you need to be very tech savvy to access the hotel.

Loved the property - clean, centrally located, cool spot. Check on was very frustrating. It was a self serve check in but the confirmation number given by Expedia wasn’t for the hotel but for Expedia. The proper confirmation number should have been easily displayed in the email. We had to call Expedia and were only able to speak with an AI agent who wasn’t very helpful. It took over 30 minutes to check in when it should have been a minute or two and the process was very frustrating. Love the spot but the check in process needs to be fixed by simply communicating the process clearly in the email from Expedia.

Liked: Cleanliness
Pros: - Cheap price in the area - Clean and well maintained bathrooms (though one of the taps only flows hot water) - Good shared amenities - Friendly residents Cons: - My room has bad ventilation. Strong odor goes out from the walls and the window could not be opened. - The bed isn't comfortable. It squeaks and accumulates body heat at night so I got a very shallow sleep. - Thin walls that don't isolate noise - The self-checkin process is confusing. It takes a while to figure out the door lock. Also the website claims the checkout time to be 8am, 3 hours earlier from what's on Expedia. Apparently, most residents stayed pass 8am anyways, but I was worried that I might get kicked out anytime after 8.
