What people say
I really appreciated Steve's email letting me know about the free bus from the rail station to the city centre, as well as all the local info that he gave me about Derry on my arrival at the hostel. I was upgraded to a two bed room at no extra charge, which was great. This is a very comfortable & centrally located hostel. It has the best breakfasts which are included in the price.
Helpful, friendly, accommodating staff especially Steve the owner. Great small hostel with a very sociable common room for meeting fellow travellers. Well kept rooms and the facilities were great for self catering... Nothing better than free tea! Safe and friendly area that added to the experience. Thank you Steve!. all reviews »

Nothing!.
Nothing.
no bedside lamp or light switch (so I had to get up to turn the light off); can be a bit noisy (depending on guests).
Nothing. Loved the city and hostel.
Bathroom quite dirty. Bed clothes old and decrepit. A general air of nobody in charge of business. The 'concierge' was not particularly friendly and would perhaps be better employed cleaning the place up rather than waxing his moustache. Quite expensive for what was on offer. Overall, I was disappointed.
