Liked: Everything... Staff were super friendly, welcoming and helpful which made for such a good atmosphere, they were also always trying to get guests involved and were up for going out at night, which was great fun. The hostel itself was also really nice, super clean, proper individual bathrooms, great lounge and dining area and really cool interior to all the different rooms. Easily the best hostel I've ever stayed in!

Liked: I havent been to such a good hostel in soooo long! Everyone working there is more than helpful and so friendly to everyone. If one of them didnt know the answer to something, it would become a group effort to find the answers for me. Just loved it. Going back to Belfast just to stay at Vagabonds!!!

Disliked: Didnt like leaving!!

Liked: This hostel is great! The decor is the best I've ever seen, the kitchen is well equipped, the bathrooms are clean and there are plenty of them. Beds are comfy etc. What really makes this place special though is the staff. They are always ready to give well informed advice about where to eat, what is good to do etc. I stayed here 6 nights and they made me feel like family. I will be back i hope! Finally, awesome pub crawl on St Patricks day led by Conor!

Liked: Been travelling for 9 months to date. Vagabonds is right up there for what travellers are looking for in a hostel. Atmosphere and character wise, it is the best of all. Easy to be sociable, if you're the shy and quiet type. The guys make dinners sometimes, and are always keen to take the group out if there are numbers. 100% 'nuff said.

Liked: I absolutely adore this home...I mean hostel. But that is what it feels like. Home. First night there, I was shown around the building and was given information about the hotspots in Belfast. The rest of the days, I became quick friends with people who were staying there and the staff. The atmosphere is thick with warmth, friendliness and open hospitality. I caused quite a few problems like losing keys, mail issues and the such but there was no sign of hesitation or impatience in helping me out! This is truly the perfect place to go to. I stay again in a heartbeat.
