Vagabonds hostel is like home away from home. Everybody is very friendly and go out of their way to provide what you need. Staff is very friendly and work there because they like being there. The bathroom facilities are new and in proper working order, cleaned regularly. Bedding is clean/white and well pressed. Everything looks like someone thought it through, both practically and aesthetically. I had some bad news coming in on my phone, just before I arrived and I even got offered a HUG!!! :-)

Wowzas. Had a wondrous time at Vagabonds. The place is fiendishly clean, sociable, and vibrant. Staff go above and beyond not only to help you get the most out of all that Belfast has to offer, but also when it comes to the boogying side of thing. A more jolly, delightful and welcoming gang you could not hope to meet. I've travelled a hell of a lot, This place is without a shadow of a doubt one of my favourites.

This place is awesome! I'll be back. Room was very clean. Two showers & 2toilets for our 14-bed mixed dorm. Staff was great, knowledgable about area, food, pubs, a blast to hang out. There are 2 living room/hang out areas with oversized couches, pillows, books to read, games to play, and DVDs to watch. Kitchen is galley style. Easy to cook & store food. Great atmosphere between staff & guests. One night most of us in hostel & a few staff stayed in, had some drinks & played cards. Super fun.

I'm very happy that I chose that hostel!! The 2 most important reasons what I liked it so much: the batroom (the shower) and the staff. They were very very nice!! More than I expected. The room was a little bit warm, but it is good if you are coming from outside (especionally if it rains). It is very close to the International Youth Hostel, and it is good if you have a ticket to the Giant's Causeway Tour (buses departures in front of the IYH). So I absolutely recommend this hostel!!!

This hostel is great if you're looking for a place that has great character, atmosphere, and easy going friendly staff. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 nights we stayed there. Even enjoyed a free breakfast in the morning! Great location also! Close to some great pubs, main bus station and in walking distance to the west side of Belfast! The staff at this hostel also have a lot of useful information about tours and sites to see! Highly recommended!

Outstanding staff, they know the city well. Wonderful conversations are enjoyed at breakfast and at the end of the day around the huge gathering table. It was a nice mix of ages here, mostly under 30 but a few older guest as well. Made for great sharing of stories.

The staff were SO friendly and helpful...immediately upon check-in they invited us out with them for the evening. Very clean place with lots of character, very secure. Great location. AND they have PEANUT BUTTER! One of the smaller hostels I've stayed in, and I love that.

Vagabonds was awesome. The staff are really cool and they include you when they go out which is awesome. The rooms are really nice and the bathrooms are also really nice. The chill out area and kitchen are really well decorated. It's close to the bus station and in walking distance of most of the tourist attractions. I would definitely recommend this hostel.

Loved my stay at this Hostel! All of the staff were friendly and helpful, it was clean and the bathrooms were excellent. Without a doubt the best Hostel I have stayed in in Ireland. The only issue was that you need cash to pay for your stay as there are no Eftpos faciities which is slightly annoying.
