Rooms were comfortable but found the furniturequite outdated. Owner was a little grumpy but overall a nice place to stay. Wonderful showers and perfect location. Would have been nice to have a dining table. For a comfy place to stay i would definately reccomend

I booked a bed for myself for one night three weeks before. On this day I had a beautiful weather on Giant's Causeway and I wanted to stay longer so I called to Derry City Independent Hostel to tell them that I'm gonna arrive later, past 10 pm. The man on the line was unkind and impolite. He told me:... More

I had the privallage of staying at the Derry hostel for quite a while. The owners and staff are lovely and both buildings are comfortable, they make you feel at home. Good kitchen, clean bathrooms and rooms. Good price. You wouldn't want to miss this hostel.

We arrived and Steven, a very nice and also interesting person, with lots of stories to tell, received us with a smile, showed us the kitchen, bathrooms and our room.

You are just a short walk away from all the main sites and best pubs, clubs and restaurants so need to worry about getting back after a few jars. The hostel is exceptionally clean and tidy... More

I visited Derry in May 2012 together with a friend and we ended up in this hostel. I can just say it was a great stay. The hostels really nice. There are two buildings. The main one is really alternative - at least the welcome room. We stayed at the other house which was just magnificent. 3 great bathrooms where... More

I visited beautiful Derry with 3 friends in July 2012. We stayed for 3 days and with the help of Kylie saw many fantastic places and ate some great food! They were surprised 4 Cork lads were visiting so far north! This hostel has more of a feel like your staying at a friends house. Cups of tea and a... More
