I happened to stay at Howe Hall residence when visiting Halifax last week. It's a very good place to stay if anyone's looking for cheap accommodation in the Halifax city centre.
Location: Howe Hall is located inside the Dalhousie University campus. It's a very good location because it is walking distance to the waterfront and city centre- restaurant and bars. And it's about 10 mins busing to downtown, the route 1 bus stop is right outside of the residence.
Parking: free, but you need to register your vehicle.
Room service: daily if requested.
Wifi: free.
Bathroom: shared, gender-neutral bathroom. Very clean and bright.
Food: cafeteria in the building is open daily, buffet style, and cheap!
Overall: I am glad I stayed there instead of some sketchy airbnb places. It's the best value for your $$. read more
