Lagan Backpackers Reviews

Not enough toilets and shower rooms! These should be separated. If the shower is in use you can't have access to the toilets or wash basins. We were waiting one morning for over an hour to use the toilet because the room was constantly in use! 1 wash room/toilet is not enough for 3rooms where as many as 10 people could be staying! Not possible to use on other floors- everyone had the same problem running around to find an empty toilet.

They have great staff!!

hostel okay though very noisy (outside the hostel and from inside (thin walls!!)) Stayed two nights with not much sleep.

Nice tours at the desk. People on the hostel says: "hah, are you kiding? it is just 20min walking to the city center", just, but if you can avoid gheto and have friends with your it is ok. But, nice hostel. Really great breakfast!!

I found lagan one of those hostels that fall into the ' puts effort and money into the wrong things' catogory. They offer a free big breakfast in the mornings, but what i would of preferred was a clean toilet and shower. They have a cinema room, but the bedroom lockers would rattle everytime someone would move in the room. The owner cooks up a bbq everynight, but what i really want at night is a pillow that isnt 1cm thick. I think they are trying really hard, but they have their priorities wrong

Excellent place to live. Owner and staff are very friendly and helping. Hostel is very clean. Also, they provide nice breakfast. I had 4 night stay at hostel and that was my first time to visit Belfast but at Lagan Backpackers I never felt like stranger.

super friendly atmosphere! owner is the MAN

- Water heater on the third floor doesn't work well. For one second its too hot, the next second its freezing cold. Hope you guys can improve it. - No plastic bag in the trash bin.

A lovely hostel with friendly and informative staff. A great atmosphere, even given whiskey upon our arrival! Staff definitely understand the needs of a backpacker and really go the extra mile to ensure that you have a great stay. This was my second time at Lagan backpackers and I highly recommend the hostel. Cooked breakfast included in the price, I can't really work out how they make their money. A very friendly atmosphere and a great nights sleep. Thanks a million.

The breakfast is amazing!! staff are really helpful and friendly!

A really great value hostel - staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and free breakfasts and wifi are great. really recommended for budget travellers, i had a great time.

One of the best hostels I have ever stayed, they really make you feel at home, besides they worry about you be comfortable all time, they take care you live Irish culture with things like breakfast, giving advice about places to visit, William’s Irish dance and so on, and if by any chance one of the days you are in the hostel is your birthday ask for your gift at the reception. This is definitely the hostel to stay in Belfast, of course if you want to have a great time, if not chose another one

Best hostel stay we've ever had thanks to the great staff. We stayed over Christmas and they cooked us all a delicious Christmas dinner. Also great advice on things to do and see.

Maybe I'll come there again...

The hostel is located quite far from the centre (about 20 mins. walking/ costs around 4 pounds by taxi from the bus station), but there is the supermarket nearby for you to buy the food for self-catering. The breakfast provided by the hostel is also great, there are 5 or 6 options to choose from. Moreover, travel to other cities by train is easy as the hostel is close to the Botanic station. The cleanliness is acceptable even though the bed linens are old. The bathroom is also clean.

Really great hostel, the location was central and accessible anywhere by walking. The breakfast was fantastic and the staff really friendly and helpful. Recommend to anyone, and will stay here again when I return to Belfast.

It was in a great location... nothing more than a 5 pound cab ride anywhere, or else everything is within walking distance. The staff is lovely and gives you a map with great directions to everything you would want to do. The staff was also very friendly that night and tried to persuade us to go out with them a few times, which I definitely would have done normally. An included breakfast is a great touch, as it was much better than any I have had at another hostel. Overall, great stay.

It's in a great part of town in a cute neighborhood. Botanic Ave starts right near you and you have a great walk to the center by City Hall. Got good recommendation for the Black Taxi Tour (choose Paddy Kane!!) from front desk as well as nice full breakfast in the morning and one night even got treated along with some other guests to a nice dinner by William the owner. Nice salmon! My only recommendation would be that you include some juice in the morning incase someone isn't into tea or coffee.

this is a very confinience hostel. the owner is very friendly. the hot breakfast that it offers is owesome. it has a room wich we can watch at any time.

Very good! The staff was excellent! Well Recommended!!!
