The Linen House Hostel Reviews

This is the bare minimum. I would only recommend staying here if you are facing significant budgetary restraints.

We had wifi only in the common room and heat was really low... Nevertheless, prices are very good!

I was a bit afraid og going there, after reading the negative comments on TripAdviser. But it's always better to have your own experience and it was : good! Value for money. It was not noisy, I slept very well in my single room, had enough of space around me and the staff offered help if I needed it. So I can recommend this hostel. It's in the center and could easy go for shopping, walking or a dinner in one of the pubs. And nice to be close to some gaybars too!

just GREAT! cleanest hostel ever!!!!!

blood stains on my pillow. gross. drunk unwanted guests from the bar nearby

I have enjoyed my stay,Nice staff,Location very central,If I have to come back to Belfast I will go back to the linen house hostel.

hi everybody, we were six girls and booked 6 beds in a 8 bedroom. When we arrived, they told us, we are not in the hostel, we are in another "house" really close to the hostel. It was 15 minutes away by foot. The house was dirty and the staff unfriendly. We got a six bedroom, where two other guests already slept in. We waisted two hours with discussing and the end, we got a nine bedroom. We had to share a bathroom and a toilet, (which you cant lock), with 15 other people. dont stay there!!!!!!!

We have booked room and breakfast, and the first day we didnt have it because they didnt arrange it. I complained about it, and i got free storage for our luggage. There was a large queu every morning to use the bathroom instead they were very dirty. The hostel is very noisy, you can heard everyone out of your room. The kitchen is too small and there were few chairs to be used. I think the hostel must be cheaper.

A guy who was staying in the hostel was always getting drunk and then agruing with every one... i got insulted by him in the middle of the reception and recetpionnist didnt do anything. If i was working there, I would have evicted him since long time... The bathrooms were sometimes not really clean, but they were so many people in the hostel, i dont think i can really blaim any one here. Everyday the cleaner was coming and doing very well her job! Appart from that, everything was great :)

The location is very central and good value for money. Nice kitchen and common area. Just the beds are not comfortable and there is no soap in the bathrooms.

A good place to stay, especially for its location (right near a lot of great pubs and historical stuff). I really liked that the kitchen and a sort of common room downstairs stayed open 24/7, and that there were two big tables with tourist info pamphlets and things to do. The staff were a little cool, and the wifi was very spotty, but otherwise no complaints!

Very close to the city centre (literally just around the corner) and great value for money. Dorm was fine, although despite it being an 18 bed dorm there was only 1 bathroom. Mixed opinion on the staff, met 2 who were very accommodating and friendly but another who just messed us around and fobbed us off regarding changing our booking,

Very friendly and helpful staff.

It was unclean, though not terribly so. Soap for handwashing after using the restroom would have been nice. But I would like to be fair here - the value is undeniable. You are paying for a budget lodging, and one can reasonably expect that the less you pay, the less you get. Such is the case with the linen house, but it had the basics - a clean bed and sheets, running water with heat, and wifi. Overall, if you come here, don't expect much - but be happy that you save a lot of money.

Helen on the reception desk was exceptionally helpful, charming and efficient.

i arrived very late the first night and the staff at the counter behaved like she didnt want to serve me at all, rude when i thought id made a mistake with my booking and was checking it, but staff on other days was excellent, wifi and computers not working the three days i was there, BEWARE ITS NOT FREE INTERNET ACCESS computer use is charged, but for the price and location which was excellent to walk from the main boulevard it was okay

It was clean and the staff was okay, but its a very old house where you can hear everything and there were only 2 toiletts and 1 shower on our floor.

Great value for money good atmosphere receptionist very helpful and friendly.

Good enough. Very cheap. I would stay again. The price won me. The only thing I didnt like was the chair on the tables, too low! Terrible to eat... The metal beds make too much noise...

The bathrooms can only fit one person ! So it's impossible to get a shower or get ready!
