Lagan Backpackers Reviews

Nice hostel. Good staff, clean but old, right by museum and gardens but 15 20mins to city so bit of a walk.

Very nice hostel and staff. The breakfast option was great and it's within a walkable distance to all the sites. Only suggestion would be to fix the broken locker in our room for better security. Also, the Causeway tour was nice.

This place is amazing. I can't believe how much you get for the incredibly low rate. The most difficult part of my stay was makin myself leave. The staff are all really amazing and welcoming. Watch out especially for Shōna. She's the sweetest person youre likely to meet in Ireland, but once she gets you to play drinking games her diabolical side comes out. If I had indefinite time to travel, I might have tried to work there for a while. It was my favorite thing about Belfast.

Place is on it's last legs, the furniture is falling to pieces. There is damp on the ceilings. There are staff who can't comprehend simple English working on the reception. Emailed twice about whether towels are included in the rooms, didn't hear anything back. When I quizzed the staff about the non response, I was told 'they don't look at emails'. So what is the point of having an email address?

Great busy city centre hostel, with everything you could want, including breakfast and a cheap dinner if you're on a budget. My second time here, I didn't see any reason to go anywhere else

Really good hostel! The staff were great, the breakfeast really good and the rooms and bathroom clean! Steve is a great owner and gives really nice tips about what to do in Belfast. Everyone should book the Black Taxi Tour and Giant's Causeway tour that the hostel offer as well.

The staff was very helpful and personable. The value for money is great, as you get a free hot breakfast every morning that gets made, when you order it - amazing! There is also a nightly communal dinner that you can get in on for £2.50 which is a pretty awesome deal.. I would like more outlets in the rooms for electronics, but I love that the Wi-Fi works in the rooms. I would definitely stay here again.

the hostel with best atmosphere ever, if you are alone, just go to their communal diner and you will make friends for your stay in belfast

Top notch hostel! Between the free hot made to order breakfasts, cheap community dinners, and outstanding staff this hostel really rises above the rest. Be sure and spend an evening playing drunk jenga in the common room!

The locker provided is not very secure. Breakfast has a few choices. Only one problem is the backyard is still noisy after 12:00pm

The staff were absolutley terrific. It was easy to find. Also the fact that a free breakfast was offered was fantastic. I would stay again.

Where to begin? This is the perfect hostel (except for people that like those soulless giant chain hostels). Really feels like youre just at a mates place. Amazing staff (except they lure you into playing drinking games) if youre there for long enough you get to know them and they make you feel like part of the family, 15 mins from city centre, astonishing breakfast, cheap communal dinners, great showers, kitchen, wifi, etc. Wonderful atmosphere, cant help but make friends. Thanks guys! -Luke

Really great atmosphere. Hot breakfast and dinner included, great chance to meet people.

The bathroom had a light broken, we needed to use another. Our bedroom had a roof window that didnt close very well so in the morning the light of the sun was annoying. I think this little things could be fixed to avoid insatiafaction.

A quick but nice stay! The staff was very kind, thanks!

Overall it was good.

Very friendly staff

Really top hostel, good breakfast and staff, laid back and chilled out was really easy to meet people. Only problem was trying to remember the door codes but otherwise a nice place to stay

This place had a way of making you feel at home. The Staff were very accomodating,and informative. Was glad to have the chance to be part of it for a few days

This is by far the best hostel we stayed in on our trip across Ireland the staff was friendly and very helpful in recommending all the local attractions to see in Belfast. You got breakfast every morning and the nightly dinners they had were great. I would definitely recommend this as the place to stay to anyone travelling to Belfast.
