Liked: Codes to enter rooms. Good sized room for 4 people Good breakfast
Disliked: Not enough plug sockets in the rooms Showers and sinks in female toilet quite dirty Nowhere secure to leave belongings Although I know it's hard to control 2 extra people stayed in our room - I didn't feel it was my responsibility to kick them out so left it. Don't know how you would really deal with this.

Liked: Really bustling with activities because of the pub - can chill in the pub!
Disliked: 18 man bunk is really too many I guess - and the beds can be better allocated so all of us who are travelling together can be on one side of the room etc?

Liked: The hostel was good craic. The staff, in particular Emma and Mel made it class banter. They need to understand the Belfast accent a little better and get the Guinness sorted out, but they were a good laugh. Scott, another staff member, is good for a beer and and out on the town for a good piss up. I didnt eat breakfast as i was too hung over but Emma kept me in good spirits talking a lot of nonsense to me the next morning. Cheers Emma:)
Disliked: Bar needs to be open later, but apart from that, it was good auld craic.
