Awesome 4 nights stay at Vagabonds. Super cool staff, mad facilities, good breakfasts, comfy beds, clean bathrooms & the funkiest home interior design. Would definitely recommend it, see you guys next time we're in Belfast! And the black taxi tour with Paddy & Vagabonds Giants Causeway Day Tours were major highlights!

Loved the stay there! The staff cares so much about the hostel so they keep it really clean and they are so helpful, whatever you need to know. But it doesn't mean that they would be boring, no, they really know how to have fun and they take you with them ;D felt so welcomed and definitely the best hostel stay that I've ever experienced. Thanks guys and see you again!

Vagabonds was a great place to stay, I would definitely stay here again. It was only a 10 minute walk from the bus station. The staff was friendly and the rooms and bathrooms were clean.

By far the beat hostel I've stayed in in Ireland. The staff was so much fun yet still professional, and helped us figure out what we wanted to do while we were in Belfast. Rooms were very clean and shower was spotless - I was very impressed! When we were asking for directions somewhere, the owner of the hostel, Curt, offered to drive us there in his car. I would definitely recommend this hostel and would stay here if I were ever in Belfast again.
