The hostel was great, the staff were all super friendly and helpful. The only thing is that the door to the rooms are never locked, we had a key to the room but did not need to use it, this was not a problem because my friend and I shared a locker but there did not appear to be enough lockers for all guests. Will definitley stay here again!

Stop looking and just stay here. Cute, clean, cozy, lots of fun and great people. It ruined all other hostels for me, so thanks for that Vagabonds! ~The girl who NEVER writes reviews

Staff were very friendly and were very willing to provide information on local things in the city and surrounding area, as well as assist guests with their travel plans once they left Belfast. Showers were always clean and some were quite spacious.

I really enjoyed my stay at vagabonds. It was in a good location near the university district and botanic gardens and only about a 10 min walk to city centre. It was a homey place and a good place to chill and watch a movie if you want a night in. the staff were fun and informative. i would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in a private double at Vagabonds it was a really good hostel only negative was the noise at night (the walls were paper thin). The hostel has a no noise policy after 11:30pm but it was difficult to sleep with a lot of slamming doors and people running up and down the adjacent stairwell throught the night.

Er wow. This was probably the best hostel I've ever stayed in. The facilities were excellent and the private bathroom was heavenly. Staff were so welcoming and made an effort to learn your name. The place has a veryhomely feel and I liked the square table where everyone is facing each other for breakfast. Quite far away from public transport options and the beds were a bit uncomfortable but if you're coming to Belfast don't consider staying anywhere else, fantastic value for money.

Hey Genevieve, Thanks agin for staying with us and taking time to review us. We try and create a homely feel at the hostel. Public transport is not far away, there is bus stop on either side of the road outside the hostel door. We are also a 7-10 min walk to the centre of the city with lots of public transport stops along the way. Hopefully we see you again with us at the hostel. Happy travels. Vagabonds Staff

There are not many hostels around where you can see and feel the effort and love that was invested into the place. Spacious rooms with big lockers (:some need a fix:) and plenty of power sockets. Just a great place to stay and to have fun with the guests and staff members. Awesome hostel with an even better STAFF. Love you guys :)

This hostel was surprising because it had all the elements that I like about a social hostel-- that is, they have a great kitchen and a big old table that makes it easy to meet new people, a room for chilling out and watching movies, really friendly staff, etc., but it was also really clean, with amazingly clean and modern bathrooms and beds, which you usually don't get in a hostel with such a relaxed and social atmosphere. It was honestly a pleasure to take a shower here. I'll definitely beback

Everything was great - however our 6 bed room was a bit small and the bunk beds could use some updating! Bathrooms and showers were awesome, as was the free breakfast!

My friends and I spent two nights in Vegabonds, and as an experienced Hosteller, I can honestly say it is among the best places I've stayed. Clean, atmospheric, value for money, location - it really had it all and more. I won't bore you of the details, but simply recommend you go and try it out.
