Our super-friendly staff are guaranteed to give you an amazing welcome and introduction to our fair city. Our hostel, situated in Great James Street, has the best possible location directly in the city centre. Hostelworld.com customers seem to think we are doing a good job as they rate it as the BEST HOSTEL IN IRELAND.
Our Staff have justifiably earned the reputation as being some of the friendliest staff in any hostel around. You can be sure that you will receive the best welcome possible. You will be welcomed with tea or coffee and a smile. We will then provide you with a free city map and show you all the hotspots, ie murals, city walls, pubs, restaurants etc. (everything is literally around the corner from us.)FREE BROADBAND INTERNET AND FREE WiFi .
FREE BREAKFAST AND FREE TEA AND COFFEE for us have always been another standard - we realise the hassle of carrying a pint of milk and a bag of sugar in your backpack.OUR WORLD FAMOUS 'ALL YOU CAN EAT BARBEQUES'
Most nights during summer (July/August) we offer 'all you can eat' barbeques (burgers, sausages, chicken wings, veggie burgers, bread, sauces, etc).
Cost is just 3 POUNDS and of course the craic is mighty. These usually lead onto a pub crawl. FUN. FUN. FUN.
PUB CRAWLS
Most nights, a member of staff will round up those who are interested and take them out on a rollicking Irish pub crawl.
We usually head for the pubs offering the best cheap drinks promotions, then head onto the live music pubs or clubs. This is a great way to get out and meet the locals. Derry people are reknown for being very friendly and this is a great way to meet them or hang out with other backpackers.
FREE DERRY TOURS
Every day organised tours of the Bogside, run by the acclaimed Free Derry Tours, leave from very close our hostel. These are tours conducted by local people from the Bogside, giving you a unique first-hand insight into the sad events of Bloody Sunday, the Battle of the Bogside, the many political murals and life in Derry during the troubles.
ALADIN'S CAVE...........
Over the last few years we travelled to many exotic places, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkey , Morocco, Syria, Egypt, to name but a few and from these travels we have brought back lots of bits and pieces to decorate our hostels.. We have transformed our dining room into a an Indian-style dining room, a virtual Aladin's Cave with low tables and low seats, lots of beautiful hangings. And many amazing artefacts scattered around the room you will be transported to another time and another place .
Which after all, if you are a traveller is where you want to be.SO WHERE DO YOU WANT TO BE?
Come and stay with us and you will fall in love with Derry.
Who says so? Well for a start you do. Backpackers have consistently voted us as the BEST HOSTEL IN IRELAND, but other people also agree. You will find our hostel highly acclaimed in every major guide book: Lonely Planet , Lets Go, Rough Guide , Routarde , MTV, Neos , Moon Guides , etc.
