Vagabonds backpackers hostel

Travelers will find in Vagabonds a proper travelers' home.
A resting spot from the hikings, sailings or ridings of their lives. A cozy home were to chill under a blanket in front of the fire or sharing a glass with fellow ramblers.
Watch movies, talk of everything and nothing and get ready for a Irish pub at night!
Other than that we organize meals together, we party together..
And you always have enough free time to follow your projects.

The staff here is a big enlarged family. A lot of former volunteers live now in Belfast on their own but they still come visit the nest; some of them jumping back from the other side of the world just to pop in for one. On the job we help each other out and we are always flexible with shifts and chores. The job is 1,5 - 2 hours cleaning the hostel everyday, plus 1 afternoon shift and 1 breakfast shift per week where you are in charge of the reception. Totally 23-28 hours per week most of which you will spend on the couch chatting and laughing.

Lidia is a lovely girl, a good volunteer and a great teamplayer.
we enjoyed her wit and her energy.
She found her place with us right away and has been a pillar for the hostel for the sort time we had the luck to have her.
Good luck to you wherever you ll go!

It was my second volunteering experience, and I highly recommend Vagabonds Hostel!!
I appreciated it so much, the staff members were wonderful, Bob and Richard as well.

My goal in coming here was to practice my English and I could really improve it with international travellers and the reception task.

The tasks are really easy and even if you don’t have technically days off during the week, working hours are arranged to be able to visit the surroundings and enjoy the nightlife!! Belfast is such a great city!!

It was a great pleasure to volunteer here!! Thank you Vagabonds!!

I really enjoyed my stay at Vagabonds! I instantly felt very welcomed and comfortable by all the staff & the hostel itself is very homey. The work is very straight forward and the agreed upon hours were respected. Belfast is a great city to explore with lots to explore; I loved learning about the interesting history and enjoying all the nearby nature. The hostel is in a great location, with public transport easily accessible. While you technically don’t have a day off throughout the week, I still found it easy to explore plenty around the city and neighboring areas.

I had a great time at vagabonds! It was my first volunteer experience and was a great place to learn about working in a hostel. Bob and Richard are fair and kind and always wanted to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our time.

The only downside is that you don’t technically get days off but the work that you are doing is very fair and manageable.

The hostel itself is clean and homey. And in a pretty central location

I made so many new friends during my time and would recommend this experience!
