Kip & Kaboodle Mahone Bay/Lunenburg Hostel in Lunenburg Wow! What a great hostel. It was really friendly, bright and colorful. What a change from the other hostels I've stayed in! Plus it has REALLY comfortable beds!
Kip & Kaboodle Mahone Bay/Lunenburg Hostel in Lunenburg If you are on a tight budget but still want to stay in a clean and comfortable place, then this is the hostel for you. The bathrooms were above and beyond my expectations and the kitchen is well equipped. It was nice to have breakfast included as well. The bunkbeds were a bit of an issue if your fellow travellers snore but other than that it was a great place to stay!
Kip & Kaboodle Mahone Bay/Lunenburg Hostel in Lunenburg Great hostel with very friendly owners. The hostel is small and has the best beds I have ever experienced in a hostel. Its very nicely decorated upstairs and has a comfortable living room downstairs. Bathrooms are like a hotel. Great place to chill out at and great location between Mahone Bay and Lunenberg.
HI - Halifax Heritage House Hostel in Halifax I personally had a blast staying at HI - Halifax, I'd never stayed in a hostel before, and my experience was great. The hostel was very clean, the bathrooms especially. I found the atmosphere was great, we even had a few nights on the town with staff members! It's kind of one of those don't judge a book by its cover situations, it's an older building, but that just gives you a chance to bask in the heritage of halifax. Each night at 11 p.m. the hostel doors were locked from the outside, and only those staying at the hostel could get in with a door code. This set my mind at ease, since not just anyone could walk in off the street. I loved the kitchen, very conducive to meeting different people who were staying there -- in fact we even had a big family style dinner with a few people we met during our stay. The staff really made the whole trip worthwhile, though they may be a bit shy at first, all you need to do is ask, and they are more than willing to give you some advice on where to
Kip & Kaboodle Mahone Bay/Lunenburg Hostel in Lunenburg I love the décor (I do!) and I love the location. This is a relatively cheap, relaxed place to stay in a beautiful but expensive part of Nova Scotia. The hosts are friendly and are full of great ideas (cheap ideas) of things to do.
Halifax Backpacker's Hostel in Halifax I did not spend long at this hostel but I loved it. The rooms were a bit small but they were okay. The staff were fantastic! Even though they were booked full, they found space for me in my time of need. They have big hearts. They knew so much about Nova Scotia and helped me plan my whole trip. They have a coffee shop downstairs with amazing artwork painted on the walls. The coffee and sandwiches are cheap and taste so good! The surrounding area seems a little daunting, but it's actually quite interesting and safe. Expect to spend some time sitting out in front of the coffee shop drinking coffee and chatting to the many interesting locals. This hostel attracts a friendly bunch of people. Within hours of arriving, I had met everyone in the hostel and was enjoying an awesome BBQ feast, with delicious mussels and beer because one kind guy decided to shout the whole hostel. That's the kind of beautiful people that this place attracts! This place is great!
HI - Halifax Heritage House Hostel in Halifax Having never stayed in a Hostel before, and bearing in mind that we are in our late fifties, we can honestly say that we enjoyed every minute of our stay there! The atmosphere was friendly, the accommodation comfortable and very clean! We found the staff extremely helpful and entertaining. The kitchen with its eating facilities was absolutely ideal and we found all the guests, whatever their nationality, to be jolly and friendly. The staff went out of their way to make the guests feel at home, giving up their free time to organize fun things to do! Nothing was too much trouble, and we would not hesitate in recommending it! If ever we come back to Halifax (and sincerely hope that we do), we certainly would stay there again! Well done, everyone!
Kip & Kaboodle Mahone Bay/Lunenburg Hostel in Lunenburg The painting is awesome. It's so bright and sends out a great vibe. This is a great place to stay when you're in Mahone Bay.
Halifax Backpacker's Hostel in Halifax I stayed at this hostel a couple months back and loved it so much that my work was going to put me up in a hotel with everything paid for for a night because there was a problem with my semi-permanent residence there. And I turned to down cause this place is a lot better. Friendly staff, great people staying there, and the best atmosphere you'll find.
HI - Halifax Heritage House Hostel in Halifax I had to stay in the hostel for a week while looking for a place to live in Halifax for the summer. Since the hostel was so nicely kept, so clean, and well organized, I stayed there for two more weeks! Employees were great. Manager was super nice. I too had forgotten to notify them that I was checking out within the twenty-four-hour rule. But they made it clear that if I wanted to stay I could, and if I checked out, then they could give my bed away, but I would still be charged. So I just stayed one more night. I told them I was staying and then checked out by the stated time of 11 a.m. There was no problem in this. I knew the rules, they stated them to me clearly and friendly. I am a young adult, and recommend this hostel to other young adults. I found that the only people that caused any drama in my stay were the older adults that were looking for hotel luxury at a hostel price! Go to a hotel if you want the luxury! oh, and the smells in the kitchen were inspiring! I met tons of
