My husband and I stayed 2 separate nights here and were very happy we did. It was $50+tx for our first room, and $55+tx for our second room with a sink and fridge. It was cheaper and much nicer than staying in a hostel! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and a good size. It was old fashioned but for this... More

While I agree with the other commentor on bringing your own toilet paper, and I reccomend asking for the room with the sink and fridge upstairs, it is a great comfy place for the price. More

The hotel is clean and centrally located. Like the owner says, we are a budget hotel. You pay extra for breakfast, coffee/tea, have to go to Macs for internet and bring your pown toilet paper. More

While I wouldn't exactly recommend the Fountain View as a great place to stay, it is at least a reasonable option if you're in a pinch (last-minute booking, like us) or just looking for cheap accommodations. We stayed two nights upstairs (can't remember the room #, but facing the street) and one night downstairs (smallest on the mainfloor). Based on... More

We decided to check this place out because of the cheap accommodation and location close to the downtown area. The lady who owned the place came across not too friendly but didn't take to that too much. The place smelt old and of cigarettes in the walls.. Carpets dirty.. We had a huge wet stain on the floor.. And started... More

This was the coolest, cutest little guest house. Very homey, comfortable and I couldn't believe the price. If you are staying in Halifax you have to stay here. More

Caveats (small): no WIFI (for those who neeeeed WIFI). I've had two rooms so far (and if I keep putting off leaving Halifax, I may eventually get a third). For $30, I got a boxy, basic room on the 2nd floor. The bed was a single and there was a colour TV w. cable. The whole place is like visiting... More

My next trip I will try for a room on the main floor. My room for $30 CAD was up a flight of stairs. Rooms are made up daily if you like. 2 shared bathrooms and one tub and shower in the area I was in. Only complaint was TV noise of the one permanent resident there carried through the... More

We stayed two nights in two different rooms in this guesthouse. To be short; price is perfect (around CAD50 incl.), location too (walking distance to center and it's quiet), cleanliness could be better... the place you probably want to unwrap your travel sleeping bag... (if you have one with you)... If you're only there for one short night, good deal! More
