Good place to stay

Late at night it was not perfectly clean in the toilets and showers but that is to be expected with shared bathrooms. Staff cleaned everything 3 times per day. They are a great bunch of people

价格还是不错的，可以推荐。

旁边是一所大学，环境很清净，没事就去散散步，这是我最喜欢的地方。另外周边步行不远，吃饭地方也不少。

淋浴条件太差了一点，不方便。但这个应该不难改善。整体管理上感觉没有用心去做。

Very bad night

I booked a room for £45 and unfortunately it was not my own room. I did not find comfort or independence. I was surprised after I paid the amount. I received a room with 6 beds as if I was in a prison. A room is not worth the amount of £45. I ask you for compensation. I await your response.

I need refund my money. I can't sleep all night.

There’s nothing good about this place.

Dirty, derelict, and bug ridden. Stayed one night against my better judgement. Ended up with scabies.

A pleasant, global sort of hostel, good bang for your buck and easy digs if you just need a bed for tourism.

I had a pleasant time staying in Lagan Backpackers. The bedroom was warm and the beds were comfortable, with clean linen and warm duvets. There was a large kitchen and a kitchen/dining seating area with extra tea and coffee if you forgot your own plus geography/travel books to read at mealtimes. The showers were clean and there were several cubicles, plus clean washbasins and clean toilets. I thought the staff were quite friendly and I got given a clean towel. The lounge seating area was comfortable and I drank my wine in there with a friend I made. I made a few friends in the hostel and people were generally well mannered.

It was a bit cold in the hallway.

To this price, there is better options

Nothing special

Should be cleaner, shared areas are not clean enough, they don’t do daily cleaning. Floor ceramics are broken in bathroom, making too much sound. Needs fixing. No hot water at all, their excuse is we are full. Generally everything in rooms are too old, could be more clean. Location is really far to center, about 30 mins walk.

Poor management

- Location - Specious room - Provide tea/ coffee

- Few staff members were friendly and rest of the staff was as if they were on their vacation. - You won't get a dedicated bed. So, consider yourself lucky, if you find it available after leaving it for a couple of hours. - Bad oder in the kitchen and in the room. But, especially in the kitchen.

Disaster

The only redeeming aspect of the hostel was its location. Being centrally located was undoubtedly convenient for accessing nearby attractions and amenities.

I booked a two-night stay at this hostel with my friend, hoping for a comfortable and enjoyable experience. However, our expectations were shattered from the very beginning. On the first night, I awoke to a shocking discovery - I had been mercilessly attacked by bed bugs during my sleep. The result? A swollen eye that greeted me in the morning, leaving me physically uncomfortable and deeply disappointed. Such a blatant disregard for basic hygiene and cleanliness is entirely unacceptable and raises serious concerns about the upkeep of the hostel. The horrors did not end there. The state of the bathrooms was nothing short of deplorable. It was evident that cleanliness was not a priority for the management. Filthy floors, clogged drains, and an overwhelming stench were just a few of the unpleasant surprises awaiting us. It is inconceivable that a supposedly reputable hostel would neglect such an essential aspect of guest comfort and well-being. As if these nightmarish experiences were not enough, upon returning from a day exploring the city, we were shocked to find an unknown individual sound asleep in the bunk bed designated for my friend. It became apparent that the administration had utterly botched the room allocation, leading to an unauthorized intrusion into our personal space. This lack of professionalism and attention to detail is utterly inexcusable and demonstrates a severe dereliction of duty on the part of the hostel staff. It is my sincerest hope that this review serves as a wake-up call for the management of the hostel to address these egregious issues promptly and take the necessary steps to ensure the safety, cleanliness, and professionalism that every guest rightfully expects and deserves.

Don't recommend.

It was where it said it would be and was cheap.

You hope for a bed and shower upon your stay. Unfortunately, this location had no towels and the way the staff spoke made it seem this wasn't the first time. As well my room did not lock upon arrival (they did kindly fix this when I commented on it). The following day towels were still not available. I left rested but still not washed. I wouldn't recommend.

Don't stay there

God left this place a long time ago. Staff is friendly but also gave up hope - they don't help to fix broken things

Everything is broken (including the windows, door locks, lockers etc), it's dirty and I am very sure I got bedbugs from there. Terrible hostel, don't go there.

Arrived at the property and couldn't get in! Tried ringing the doorbell,rang 2! Separate no's and nothing but an answering machine! Had to drive back home after running the Belfast marathon ruined all my plans! And to top it off had to pay the price of the room since it was marked a "no show"! Absolute waste of time!
