The wifi only works in the lobby area, which was pretty much always crowded. The hostel was always very noisy at all hours of the night. There was a kitchen that was decent enough. The staff seemed nice. The beds were pretty uncomfortable, even for a hostel. It was a manageable experience but we were glad to leave. more

Before i start, ive had to change some swear words around, so you'll prob get the drift!! As you can see from the title of this review, myself and my friends were really NOT impressed with this 'Hostel' Im still itching from my stay!! A group of 10 of us stayed here a few nights ago. Fair enough we werent... more

My daughter and I was booked to stay there. We arrived and were very uncomfortable with the state of the place, it was dirty, the stairs leading up to the rooms were unsafe, it was down a dirty alley way and all in all it was a bad day. Internet access via wifi is a joke, it does not happen... more

kinda dirty feel about this place, hard to actually get in with their security door stuff (gotta get you worried from the start). the receptionist was really daft, over booked rooms, had us in one room in other peoples beds, then in the middle of the night we find out the new beds we're in were also spoken for. i... more

We were a group of ten people to spend three days to Belfast (we've booked on line a room for 10 the week before) and when we arrived (30th may) there wasn't beds enough and a friend of us had to sleep in a mattress on the floor... The room was very small and not very clean, we have to... more

We are sorry that your stay with us was not as positive as we would of like it. However I would like to correct you in the bathroom situation (keep in mind 2 dorm rooms have ensuits)-On each floor there is 6 or 7 toilets and 4 or 5 showers (not 2 as mentioned). Also an ensuit for the room...

the 3 of us shared a room with 9 other guests, and it was horrible. En-Suite: Disgusting - Thick Grime and Scum on the surfaces, very unhygenic. Bedding: Not Clean, dirty, and not changed from the previous group. No Lockers No Privacy. No Ventilation. Disgraceful and overall dirty. more

Regarding this review; There is no ensuit in our 12 bed dorm. All our showers and toilets are cleaned twice a day by our cleaners and night staff. Should something be quite unhygenic our stuff should be informed to attend to it straight away. All sheets are washed after every use by our staff in the laundry. There are a...

I stayed in this hostel as a student in a group. Our room was FREEZING...just like a cellar!! The sheets were almost wet because of the damp!! We had to sleep in coats and scarves!!! Apparently not all rooms were that cold but this one was awful. The bathrooms are not very clean either, and as it's so cold you... more

Terribly sorry about your room during your stay. Im please to say that the heating in your room has been fixed and the hot water has been fixed-it was due to a power shortage. Should you wish to come back we will upgrade your room free of charge. Linen House Hostel
