Stayed here last week and it was a great place to stay! It was pretty close to a rail station and we were greeted by friendly staff. Location was good because it only took us about 5-10 minutes to get downtown. Though we did end up going to a fun pub just across the street and it was tons of... More

Best hostel I've stayed in hands down. Warm homey feel, plenty of space, decent breakfast, close to town but quiet location, comfy beds, well equipt kitchen and everything is clean. And it's cheap! But what really makes it are the staff. They are wonderful, they all try to get to know you and will help get you wherever you need... More

I loved this hostel! The decor was amazing and the outside patio was a really nice touch! The showers were also really nice with great pressure and warm water the whole time! The location was perfect, right next to queens college and the botanic gardens. I would also recommend the botanic inn restaurant right down the street!

Am a solo female backpacker and as soon as I walked in the door I felt instantly comfortable. Great location. Staff are fantastic. Facilities are very clean and very social but your privacy is also respected. Would highly recommend.

My friend and I were in Belfast for one night and this place was the best hostel I have ever set foot in. Every single room was incredible and so homely. The only tiny flaw is that you could feel the springs of the beds. You can book a black cab tour from the hostel and the breakfast is delicious.... More

I have stayed at well over 20 hostels in the UK and Ireland and this is by far the BEST I've been to. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful. These guys know what backpacker and budget travelers need and exceed expectations on all fronts. The hostel itself is a refreshing combination of interesting artwork, fun, cozy decor and warmth....

Such a great vibe. Super comfy beds. Clean showers. Really nice staff. Good location. Made me want to just spend all my time in the hostel just hanging out! Highly recommend. Also close to good food and they have a pool table!

This is a backpacker hostel set up by people who have been in a fair few hostels. Everything - from the art, posters, maps and articles covering the walls to the furniture, the guide books and guitars lying around (one of which was an Epiphone, not bad for a hostel guitar!) - adds up to a hostel full of character....

I can't say enough about how amazing this hostel is. The staff are warm and friendly and make you feel at home. There isn't a single spot of dust in the whole house. You can sign your name on the wall, there are books to read, movies to watch, and Scrabble and Jenga. Toast and jam every morning and coffee... More

Staff was very informative and kind. The rooms were clean and everyone was respectful. The common area was the best part. Everyone sat around the table chatting and playing jenga while the wood stove was burning. It was a comfortable relaxing atmosphere that I got no where else on my travels.
