Lovely friendly staff - Super comfy bed - Clean common spaces - 3 bathroom options - Heating on most of the time - Very quiet inside - Well equipped kitchen - Free hot drinks, cereal n toast - Really good location, close to shops, restaurants - Train station 15 min walk
In my room, the carpet was in much need of a hoover, and window area needed some serious dusting.
Noisy street below but the actual hostel was very quiet
Pillow was a quite lumpy,
But i would stay again!

This is my first trip where I stayed in hostels. And this was the second hostel. I like that it was clean. Even though that there was no bathroom in the room, they there was really nice bathroom down the hall. I love the fact that there was a little kitchen and coffee and toast for guest.
There was nothing really to dislike. It was clean. I slept well and the staff members were helpful. This is not a hostile that has activities for guest.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. It was very clean, spacious with loads of room and access to kitchen area. They provided free tea, breakfast things. There was always someone around monitoring property so it felt very safe. I felt really at home there. There were plenty of showers, toilets so never had to queue. Loads of great restaurants nearby, easy access to train and buses. Very central but at the same time close to some fabulous parks - great for running. My first time in Belfast and having a great place to stay made a positive impression on me. I’ll be back!
Nothing really. A bit noisy on Halloween night! But once the windows were closed it cut down on the noise. The hostel itself was very quiet, slept great

Great location. Only minutes away from the bus station and the city centre. The staff were pleasant and all the facilities were brilliant. I especially enjoyed the shower the next morning. It's very refreshing.
The creaky beds, but you kind of expect that in any hostel.

Stunning cleanliness of every facility including toilet, showers and kitchen, far exceed any hostels I have stayed in.
A lot of things come for free including towels, toiletries, locker with key and free self-service breakfast (cereals, bread and tea/coffee) which I didn’t expect at all.
Easy check-in and helpful staff.
On a relatively busy street with a lot of drinking places so noises could be heard till quite late at night, but I expected it and had noise-cancelling headphones on.
Slightly further from the city centre (15-20 minutes walk or a very quick bus trip).

Everything extremely clean!
Extra tip: I had one of the best showers in my entire life, the bathroom was outstanding (they provide, shampoo, shower gel, towel for free). ❤️
When I arrived with other guests we waited at the door for around 40 minutes ringing the bell and calling the number to check in. Then we noticed they sent the door password to get into the hostel in our email. Just make sure this info is clear for the guests would be really handy. 😊

The location is close to Queen's university, I am going to visit a friend there. It is convenient. The place is clean, the roommate are friendly. There is a case to lock my things.
It could be better if there were laundry.

It’s clean. The bathrooms especially are incredible, I couldn’t get enough of the shower pressure and the beautiful little towels and mats. They’ve really gone above and beyond with that, even having body wash and hair products available for use. The communal rooms are super cute and well furnished
It’s not a hostel vibe, it’s really more a renovated apartment, which is fine depending on your needs. As a solo female traveller, I cannot recommend it. The security is lacking, it’s incredibly easy to get in, if you somehow find out the code to the front door there are no other locks, including a back door away from reception, which was opening and closing all night I was there despite there only being 3 of us in the entire hostel. The doors don’t have keys, so if you want to lock it you have to be inside and you would be locking out your roommates.
I honestly felt quite unsafe there, the staff were hard to find/absent, the area felt a bit dodgy and combined with the lack of security I didn’t enjoy my stay and I left early.
If you are travelling in a group, it would be a great spot, but if you are alone or a young female, I’d recommend finding somewhere else

Very clean, great location, friendly staff, and comfortable beds.
One minor complaint is lack of privacy curtains on the beds. But I'd still stay here again.

Clean shower room
It was noisy outside, like a club or bar with loud music until around 2:00am. I barely slept.
9.0 / 10.0
Very good location, easy check-in, clean, never had to wait for a shower or toilet, great lockers (i could fit all my stuff in one, and it had a key for me to use). Room had plenty of space and a reading lamp for each bunk. Window shade kept the bright morning light out very well.
Bunks seemed to be a little squeaky (at least mine was), but otherwise comfortable. Common areas were a bit sparse or sterile-not too much character or lived-in feeling, but I was mostly out exploring the city, so that didn’t really matter to me.

Location and cleanliness
The fact it was a mixed dorm and my experience with a male visitor was very intimidating. I felt unsafe.

Great property in a good location for getting around Belfast. They’ve just redone the shower rooms as well and are a lot nicer than most hostels I’ve been too. They’ve staff were great to and very helpful.

Very spacious hostel with very comfortable beds and a great location in the Botanic quarter where there is a vast range of worldwide foods and the botanic gardens are nearby. There was a continental style breakfast of cereal, toast tea etc

L'ostello ha un buon potenziale, apprezzato il breakfast corner messo a disposizione dalla struttura con cereali, pane, latte burro marmellata, the e tisane.
Le camerate però sono fredde, gli infissi in legno con chiusura a ghigliottina lasciano passare l'aria come non ci fosse nulla... Quando fuori di notte la temperatura scende sottozero le camerate sono veramente fredde e non bastano i piccoli radiatori per scaldarle. Stesso dicasi del locale docce. Il pavimento delle camerate hanno la moquette, sporca e sotto i letti c'erano residui di altri ospiti chissà da quanto tempo. Inoltre, credo che alcuni ospiti siano persone del luogo con difficoltà, il che fa sì che si aggirino personaggi un po' ambigui.

Gostei muito da localização, que é excelente e bem próxima do centro, facilitando fazer tudo a pé. O ambiente é limpo, confortável e organizado, e a equipe foi muito atenciosa e prestativa durante toda a estadia. A acomodação também é tranquila e acolhedora, o que tornou a experiência ainda melhor.
Não tenho pontos negativos a destacar, tudo atendeu muito bem às minhas expectativas.

El personal era súper amable y la ubicación también estaba bien
Las camas eran demasiado incómodas, movías un músculo y la cama crujía (literalmente). Además el colchón era muy finito y me levanté todos los días con dolor de espalda. Por último, era bastante frío, yo pedí una frazada extra que me dieron sin problemas (cosa que en otros lados no pasa en habitaciones compartidas)

El Hostel es pequeño. Es la segunda planta de un edificio, lo bueno es que tiene ascensor para subir desde la calle. Tiene muy pocas habitaciones, así que es como muy familiar. Las habitaciones son muy espaciosas, tienen taquillas con llave. Tiene una pequeña cocina donde dejan café, té, tostadas, cereales, arroz... Para desayunar y demás. En el baño te dejan gel, champú, y acondicionador. Te dejan una toalla pequeña durante tu estancia. Aunque no está en el propio centro, queda relativamente cerca (2/3 paradas de autobús o un pequeño paseo). Pasan muchos autobuses por la zona, tanto en la puerta del Hostel como en la vuelta de la esquina.
La recepción es prácticamente inexistente. No hubo nadie para recibirme a pesar de haber indicado a la hora que llegaba y que me dijeran que no había problema (es cierto que llegue un poco antes, pero igualmente hasta mucho más tarde no acudieron). También es cierto que están pendientes de los mensajes de Booking y contestan rápido, y me dijeron que habitación y cama tenía en seguida. Solo hay un aseo en el Hostel y otro baño que lleva ducha incorporada. Hay una sala con 3 duchas que se estropeó en mi segundo día de estancia. Hacía mucho frío y la chica del Hostel me dio mantas por la noche cuando me buscó para hacer el check in, me dijo que había puesto la calefacción; al día siguiente fui yo la que se tuvo que dar cuenta de que el radiador no estaba abierto y por eso hacia ese frío polar. En mi primer día había una chica que parece ser que se fue antes de tiempo y dejó todo lleno de basura, un montón de platos, tazas tirados por su cama, además de un montón de toallas sucias por la habitación (a pesar de que vinieron a hacer la habitación, dejaron todo eso ahí, y tuve que convivir durante dos días con ello, teniendo que recoger yo los platos y las tazas, por no convivir con esa situación más tiempo). Hay una especie de sala común con sofá y TV que no pude utilizar puesto que un huésped se dedicó a prácticamente vivir ahí, incluso dormir en ese sofá (no es culpa del Hostel, pero debería al menos haber un revisión en mi opinión). Los colchones eran blandos.

Me gustó todo! Maravillosa ubicación. A diez minutos de centro histórico y de los bares. A diez minutos de la estación de trenes, 15 minutos de la prisión. Excelentes baños y confortables. Lugares comunes de descanso. Cocina muy completa y desayuno a disposición. Lo super recomiendo !!
Todo inmejorable. Por precio y calidad es lo mejor que puede haber.

部屋が広く、隣のベットとの距離があるので良かった。
宿泊者も多すぎないのか、シャワーやトイレやキッチンは共同ですがかち合う事が無かったです。
無料朝食もお茶もありがたかったです!
スタッフが常に居るわけでは無いのか、到着してもどこに行ったら良いのか分からなかったです。
夜遅くに到着したらしき人も、何処へ行けば良いのか分からず私のいる部屋に入って聞いてきて困りました。
あと、各部屋に鍵が無いので誰でも入れてしまう点。ロッカーはあるので貴重品はしまえます。白人の方が部屋の鍵が無い事に文句を言ってました。

スタッフの人がフレンドリーでした。
男女共用の部屋しかなかったですが、私が泊まった時は男女別にしてくれていたようで同じ部屋は女性だけでした。
簡単な朝ごはんとタオルが一枚ついてるのがよかったです。
ドライヤーの風量が強いのもよかったです。周りが繁華街なので夜はうるさかったですが窓を閉めたら音がかなりシャットアウトされました。
水回りは本当に綺麗でした。
シャワールームを男女別にするかもう一枚カーテンか壁があるとよかったです。
(私が使った時は誰もいませんでしたが、カーテン一枚だけなので男性も一緒だと着替えづらそうでした。)
マットレスは良かったのですが枕がへたっていました。
