Customer review

30 September 2009

Liked: Very suspicious of the good reviews we read. We noticed the reactions of most of the other backpackers arriving mirroring our own " this can't really be the place". Lack of Free breakfast and limited hot water aside the hostel does draw a much more romantic picture of what really is a budget school camp.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

BRUNO KONDER

17 July 2009 BRUNO would recommend this property

Liked: Installed in what used to be a elementary school building, smack in the middle of rural Northern Ireland. Car is a must. Facilities are just average. On the other hand, the staff was very helpful. Should offer more detailed directions on how to get there.

Disliked: BRUNO left no negative feedback.

Hannah Robillard

14 June 2009 Hannah would recommend this property

Liked: This is a lovely place that used to be an old school house. Its in a rural area about 20 minutes drive from Derry. It has a lot of character, and the staff is awesome, very helpful and friendly. There is internet access and all the amenities you could need. It is not accesible without a vehicle however. Highly recommended!

Disliked: Hannah left no negative feedback.
