  • Overall: Rating of 3.5 out of 5

    "Overall though, considering that it was also easy to meet with and get to know my fellow travellers, I'd have to say it was good value for money and I would stay again were I travelling alone once more." source Hostelworld

    "If you want decent affordable and safe accomodation in Belfast, then I highly recommend the International Youth Hostel on Donegall Rd." source Hostelworld

    "I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to all cheap travellers like myself." source Hostelworld

    "Almost always full, even in fairly off-seasons, so a great place to meet other travelers." source Hostelworld

    "I\'m sure there are worse places to stay but I would not recommend this place to anyone." source Hostelworld

  • Clean: Rating of 3.0 out of 5

    "Rooms are good although don't seem to be cleaned that often but since I was the only one in my room that could be why. The basement would be heaps of fun if it was cleaned up." source Hostelworld

    "a very dirty smelly hostel, needs a good cleaning and needs lots of money put into it to make it more clean , modern and secure and much better." source Hostelworld

    "The kitchen and bathroom facilities seemed clean enough, and there was plenty of hot water, although the floor of the shower room was a permanent puddle." source Hostelworld

    "Yes the showers were not the cleanest, but what hostel is after 30 people use the shower, but I saw them being cleaned by their cleaners." source Hostelworld

    "Lots of teenagers, people smoke in rooms, it is quite noise all night, bathrooms and showers are "not perfectly clean" and quite busy." source Hostelworld

  • Service: Rating of 3.9 out of 5

    "The bathroom could be warmer (there was no heating on) and also there could be a coffee machine in the other premise like in the first one; besides that everything was almost perfect; Thank you, guys, for your service and a nice athmosphere." source Hostelworld

    "Really friendly staff, helped pair me up with another girl in the hostel to go out round round belfast with." source Hostelworld

    "great hostel in a fantastic location,two minutes walk from centre,very helpful & friendly staff." source Hostelworld

    "Great customer service, I had to cancel a night and they were happy to refund my purchase." source Hostelworld

    "Really nice hostel, excellent location and very friendly staff." source Hostelworld

  • Location: Rating of 4.1 out of 5

    "When i arrived at the hostel i was redirected to another location which was 10min walk away, where there was no security, poor lighting/heating. There was no mention of this other location on the website." source Hostelworld

    "Location and good staff, but the room was shabby to say the least, the bathroom was unclean and the doonas smelled like feet. Also, the basement hangout area more like a dungeon." source Hostelworld

    "Wifi is not free, there is no breakfast included, but it is dirt cheap, the staff knows everything about Belfast, and the location allows you to go everywhere in under 10 minutes by foot." source Hostelworld

    "When we showed up to the hostel (after wallking for 20 min) they told us our room wasn\'t actually at their location and made us walk all the way back to where we had come from." source Hostelworld

    "The first night was a bit tiring so we didnt fully experience it all, but then we went to its second location on College Square North and absolutely loved it." source Hostelworld

  • Value

    "Admittedly it does smell a bit, and really could do with an abultion block/room as under provided for in the mornings, but for the price it was good." source Hostelworld

    "There wasn't any breakfast included but in the lobby you can buy some good coffee from a machine and at a very reasonable price ;)." source Hostelworld

    "Linen House was kind of sketchy but for the price and if only staying a short time, it\'s worth it." source Hostelworld

    "Depends on what scale you put this hostel, for the price it's about as good as you could hope for." source Hostelworld

    "We couldn't believe that we can stay that kind of nice hostel with fantastic price." source Hostelworld

Traveler Photos of La Glacerie

9f27761d9b638b96ce0d24e5f7c27264 Arrival in Bayeux.  Saw the amazing church on the way to find my hostel.  Abnormally large for a small town like Bayeux, but evidence of the town's importance in the past.

A direct hit on a bunker, Point Du Hoc, Normandy, France. Driving (!) around the Arch De Triomphe, Paris, France.
