Lagan Backpackers

I liked the simplicity. I just needed somewhere to stay, with no fuss. The staff at the hostel were incredibly lovely and helpful. The facilities were just what was needed. The location was absolutely brilliant for getting to the Ulster Museum, local restaurants, transport into the city centre, and accessibility.

There isn’t anything I didn’t like. It is a plain and simple hostel, well managed, run by really nice people.

Clean tidy beds, friendly staff, big kitchen nicely equipped, safety locks on doors, free internet.

The lockers in the room was broken.

The property's location is excellent. Good value for money. The staff are very nice.

It's quite an old property so the cleanliness is not really good.

The staff were very kind and helpful. The lockers are large enough for carry-on luggage, provided you get one that is functioning properly. The hostel also seemed to make a genuine effort to keep the premises clean. The Wi-Fi was strong enough, and the price reflects the basic standard of the accommodation.

The equipment and furniture feel outdated and are not in the best condition. The beds are quite squeaky, some power sockets in the rooms do not work, and some of the lockers are damaged and cannot be locked properly. There is also no small shelf next to the bed for personal items such as glasses, no reading light, and no privacy curtains. The showers were another weak point. It was quite difficult to find and maintain a comfortable water temperature while keeping a decent water pressure. They are fine for a quick shower, but not particularly suitable for a longer or more relaxing one. I would recommend arriving early for check-in, so you have a better chance of choosing a bed near a working socket and a locker that can actually be locked.
