Hostel Connect

In the heart of Derry's historic walled city on Strand Road, a couple of minutes' walk from the action. You're within a 10-minute stroll of the Diamond and Tower Museum, about 0.4 mi from the Museum of Free Derry and Bloody Sunday Memorial, and close to the Derry City Walls, River Foyle, Magazine Gate, the Bogside murals and Waterloo Square's pubs and nightlife.

Funky, chilled-out hostel vibe with original wooden floors and rooms painted in bold colours. Sleep in mixed or female-only dorms, private doubles, a twin or a family room — the property accommodates up to 64 guests across its guestrooms and dorms. Huge top-floor common room with a large-screen TV keeps the social energy alive, and six electric shower rooms mean you'll never run out of hot water.

Free Wi‑Fi throughout, complimentary continental breakfast daily (8–10 AM), a big shared kitchen and dining area (open 7 AM–10:30 PM), fitness centre and tour/ticket assistance. Practical perks include free parking zone for guests with cars, laundry, luggage storage, a safe-deposit box and elevator access for guests with reduced mobility.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the hostel keeps you connected.

Self-cater in the communal kitchen or grab the free continental breakfast each morning. Plenty of pubs, clubs and local restaurants are just minutes away for hearty Northern Irish grub and late-night bites.
