Halifax Backpackers

Felt like I was gonna get stabbed or mugged the entire time. Trash everywhere including on the stairs to exit. Never introduced to staff because of an event they were running and there was no front desk i found. Cut my stay short by one night because was too spooked to get a hotel. Avoid at all costs as a solo traveller. This may be the worst place I’ve stayed in.

Facilities are good, friendly atmosphere, but the bed in room 3 needs to be replaced. It makes a U shape and felt the bars from the frame - did not sleep well.

Super friendly staff, cute environment, great coffee, OUTSTANDING FOOD made by Hannah!!!!! Beautiful lamps at the Café!!!! We are coming back for more :))

Excellent

One of the best hostels I've had the pleasure of staying in! The staff are all so nice and the cafe downstairs is amazing. Perfect little spot on Halifax to travel on a budget, highly recommend!

The bed in room 5 is a disaster, nonsense without end and right at the window to the street, sleeping well is something else.

Small kitchen, washing machine, daytime restaurant

I will quickly take action against the site for gross misrepresentation of this property. (not the hostel) You people are criminals. Bedding sucked. Facilities sucked. Location was a work zone(hi-rise construction ongoing outside the windows). Never again. This parallels numerous other comments online. site online to be AVOIDED!!!!

Amazing atmosphere thanks to the staff

Nice people, cozy place and neat cafe!

Nice place but the beds move to much , then prepare for a difficult sleep

Full review on Google. Long story short, not accurately depicted in photos. Out of date and in desperate need of a deep clean and updating. Details are lacking, as is security. Mattress was all springs, construction next door very loud. Cafe and patio/outdoor space is sad. Kitchen is small, old and also very sad. Wouldn’t recommend and would try my chances at the other hostel in town. Also note the Hostelworld rating system is very generous. Worked out to 4.6 so I had to adjust to bring...

It's on the bus route, but the neighborhood is run down. Construction begins before 8 a.m. The beds are old; mine had a wire you could feel under your back. The staff is great. But for the money, keep shopping.

Great location in Halifax, wedged right between downtown and North Hali, with a bus away from Dartmouth and a ferry to Woodside. Will most likely come back to visit for a week to experience more of the surrounding areas around Halifax!

Great vibe, no privacy in terms of curtains but no issues regardless. Café on-site is very convenient!

Halifax does not have a lot of hostels, but this one was a good one. Was very satisfied. Food was enjoyable too.

It's a good hostel. But, compared to other hostelword hostels I have stayed, it is average. Mostly in terms of cleanliness. Convenient location. Parking is not provided. But, street parking is kinda free. I did park my car on street. Didn't got any ticket. Other facilities are good. Kitchen, small restaurant etc.

Great hostel, loved the stay and experience. The people are what make this hostel, a huge shout out to Shanny, Molly, Lina, and all for their kind welcome and friendliness. Looking forward to going back next time! :))

An excellent place to stay!

Friendly staff
