Went here on a class trip about 40 of us. 25 of us were cramped into one room with one shower and one toilet. No keys for room seemed to be open to anyone because our group was so large. Though we were lucky not to have been put in the adjacent building that was supposedly like a shack and... More

No one to blame for this but myself really - I didn't check the reviews prior to booking. We booked a double room. The room and the bathrooms weren't exactly clean but certainly could have been worse. What made this stay memorable however were the details. All the doors were cleverly designed to bang. Loudly. Sound carried throughout the hostel.... More

A fine hostel at a very reasonable price. Not sparkling clean, but clean enough. I stayed in low season so only had to share a 10 bed dorm with one other person - had there been 10 of us, though, it would have been very tight. Also only one power outlet in the room which wasn't even working... The location... More

The Ulster bank sent me a debit card and a bank-statement with the pin number to Linen House ; and l went there to fetch the very important documents. A pretty woman clerk told me that they couldn't keep and pass the mail onto me, for handling mail is not their business. She claimed that if they did this for... More

I stayed here with a group a little while back, and was dissatisfied with the state of the rooms. The window had no latch and did not shut properly, the linen looked barely washed and the bedding itself was hard and unpleasant to sleep on. I'm glad that I brought my own towel and pillowcase. I thought the location was... More

Lol we stayed here for 1 night in February 2012, this place is a HOSTEL and as such it really is for students. The room we were given was large, very basic and really dirty. Even the sheets were covered in stains, we travel a lot and have been all over the world and this was the worst we have... More

This is truely the worst hostel I have ever been in. We were booked in as a large group on tour, and were placed out the back in a separate building to the main hostel, so we could party and be loud. That was really thoughtful, and the fact that there were 39 beds, boys and girls on one floor... More

We took a group of 16 to Belfast and found the staff very hospitable. Fantastic location, great value for money, good vibe in the hostel and all the catering facilities we needed. Beds were packed in the rooms, but our group loved it. Highly recommend this place. Surprised to see so many negative reviews! More
