Quite frankly, this place is too nice to be called a hostel. Yes, there are shared dorm rooms (probably individual rooms too - I'm not sure) but that is about where the comparison with a hostel ends. It has just had a big revamp and looks more like a gorgeous, stately B&B. You'll be invited to go out and enjoy... More

Welcoming, helpful and accommodating international lot. More importantly: this is the case time and time again, so wonderfully consistent! THANKS! :) ....and nicely redone recently. What else could you ask for?! More

We really liked Paddy´s staff. They were absolutely great and welcoming. They were giving us directions in town. They even took us out to a great Irish Pub with live music and invited us to a Party at Paddy´s later. We definitely had a awesome stay in Derry! Thank you guys! Kathrin More

I really enjoyed my time at this hostel. I found it clean and cheerful and the location was great for exploring the city. The staff were friendly and more than helpful with any questions and even organised a free shuttle bus after our stay! With an open fire, great atmosphere, HOT water and a cat to top it off, this...

The place itself is a bit 'tired', such as half finished bathrooms and 'raw wood' staircase, but for £13 a night with breakfasrt you couldnt ask for more. Location is great... More

My time at Paddy's Palace hostel is like a dream I never want to wake up from. This dream consisted of fresh linen that cushioned my weakened backpackers body, clean showers that didn't leave me paranoid about picking up a weird fungal infection and just an atmosphere that can not be recreated anywhere else in the world. The hostel opened... More

On the plus side for this hostel, it was quite central, the staff seemed nice and you could help yourself to tea, toast and coffee in the morning. There also seemed to be quite a good and friendly atmosphere among those who were in the main building (there are 2 to this hostel, we were in the 2nd building). However... More

I got to stay in this hostel during the spring time and I had one of the best times I had during my gap year. The people that I worked with were soooo much fun and the people that I got to meet were awesome =) The city was nice and we all had a good time out during night.... More
