Set 7.1 km from Casino Nova Scotia Halifax, Mount Saint Vincent University offers 2-star accommodation in Halifax and has a fitness centre, a garden and a shared lounge. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and an ATM, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is located 7.2 km from Halifax Citadel National Historic Site of Canada.

At the hostel, the rooms are equipped with a wardrobe. Some rooms also feature a kitchen with a fridge, an oven and a microwave. As mentioned in my previous review, check-in was a breeze, although it did take me a fair bit of figuring out as to where on the campus the accommodation was located during our (my family included) first one-night stay on campus. Had to ask around to finally locate the building. On the return stay after our road trip, of course it was much easier. On the whole, the rooms were spacious enough. Sufficient utensils to assist in cooking up a meal to feed several rather hungry tummies! Location was good too.
