The hostel was truly such a perfect way to start my backpacking journey. The hostel feels so safe and cozy and like a little home away from home. For me, it was a great place to relax and reset. I found myself drinking lots of tea, doing crossword puzzles, making bracelets, and hanging out with the pigeons in the garden. Erika the owner is so sweet and has the best stories and recommendations on places to go. I would highly recommend this volunteer experience <3

The hostel is a haven full of lovely & inspiring women. The jobs are simple, and the afternoon shifts will fly by if you're crafting or get too invested in cryptic crosswords! If you're interested in the city's night life, the quiet-after-9 rule makes a homely space to come back to, and you know your safety is prioritised. Erika has the biggest heart of anyone I've ever worked for & she genuinely cares for all her volunteers and guests. Also, every day is made even more enjoyable because of the other volunteers! Emily, Keira, Alexa & Alex will be in my heart forever! <3

I had such a wonderful time during my stay! Everyone I met from staff and volunteers to guests were wonderful and so kind and welcoming. Had some brilliant experiences getting to know everyone and my only complaint is that I wish I stayed longer! Thank you so much to Erika, Emily and Anna you have all been so sweet 🩷

I had an absolutely incredible time volunteering at the hostel. Erika was such a wonderful host/boss, so friendly and welcoming. Tasks were easy to do, well explained and set out. Erika was very accommodating to any changes in shift schedule that I requested which I really appreciated. Plenty of time to explore Belfast and Northern Ireland. The hostel itself is cosy and creates such a safe environment. A fantastic experience for my first Worldpackers volunteer position.

Working at Erica's hostel was a great introduction to what Worldpackers can offer. Erica's convivial and idiosyncratic personality gives the hostel character, and I'll miss Erica's captivating stories. The work provided a satisfying amount of physical activity, and I appreciated the trust Erica gave me to complete tasks independently. After requesting a locker, I was provided with one. However, having a curtain and a functioning door lock in my room would have improved my sense of security and privacy. Belfast is a charming city, and I particularly enjoyed visiting the Botanic Gardens.
