I've visited Belfast with Josh in February... The hostel we stayed at needed some improvements.

We've spent two weeks in Ireland and could only visit Dublin, Belfast and Galway, so there are still many sights left to see! ;)

About your website, it is nice indeed... you might want to put an image gallery and a "book now" button on the front page though. Potential guests want to see plenty of pictures and if they want to book, you shouldn't hide the booking page in your website! ;)

Looking forward to visit your place next time I go there (That would be probably just after the next HW conference) ! :)

Anyone wanna join? :D

Hi folks, I was in Belfast several years ago and loved it. When I go back to Ireland I will stop in for a couple nights.

Good Luck

I'm ex-Dublin, now in Sicily, and I love Belfast. Great city and lovely people. Next time I'm back in Ireland I'll try to make a trip up to visit you.

Congratulation for making your dream reality!

I was checking your website and it seems like you have around 40 beds. Can you manage that sort of size hostel between the two of you and make enough money to live? I'm looking at opening a 20 bed hostel and I'm struggling with figures and don't think I'd be able to employ more than one part-timer including myself as full-timer...

I have another two questions for you: do you have to be there 24 hours by law? do you clean bed linen yourselves or you pay some laundry company? how much do they charge you?

Thanks a lot and good luck.

Looks nice with good facilities. In my opinion, a TV is out of place in a hostel common room, but if you have a separate dining area that's social, that would be good.

Just a comment about your website: the photos are all squashed vertically! I took a look at your code, and found a number of lines that look like this:

You might try to make the width value less or the height more (or both) and see if that makes the pictures look more natural.

It's an issue with Drupal's Imagecache module settings. If you would like, I could send over some quick Imagecache settings that should fix it...
