Property Description

Welcome to Halifax Backpackers Hostel! We look forward to welcoming you to our little slice of Halifax and providing a comfortable stay from where you can explore the city and the rest of stunning Nova Scotia!

Our hostel is ideally surrounded by the best restaurants, independent arts and live music that Halifax has to offer. If you are seeking a connection to local history, art, and potential collaborators, this is your place. Our onsite cafe is woven into the fabric of the community. You can wake up in the morning to delicious strong coffee, artisanal lattes, fresh local dishes and independent music (following our Spotify is a must). In the evening we serve up local brews and have a relaxed atmosphere where you can unwind and play some of our cafe board games with your new friends.

We have been serving guests for over 20 years and hospitality is at the heart of what we do. Our staff and owners are avid travellers who know exactly what you need to make your trip to Nova Scotia unforgettable. We understand that meeting fellow travellers is a big part of your hostel experience, so please join us on our Wednesday Bar Crawl, Thursday Jeopardy! Trivia, Friday $10 All You Can Eat BBQ and Saturday Open Mic! These are great opportunities to make friends that and create memories that will last a lifetime!

Whether you are here to explore Halifax, meet like minded people, work on your next entrepreneurial project, or unplug for a while in a new city we have rates and rooms that will accommodate your needs. We know that strong reliable WIFI and clean safe spaces set the stage for you to comfortably enjoy your stay.

Our historic Nova Scotian building is over 100 years old and survived the Halifax explosion. It boasts 10ft ceilings and original hardwood floors. Our handcrafted bunks are spacious and comfortable.

We are situated on all major bus routes and located within walking distance of many amenities
