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?

30 October 2012 Conor would recommend this property

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.
