“Great value for money”

Belfast International Youth Hostel

4 of 5 stars

1/1 found this review helpful

Stayed in this Hostel last summer and was very pleasantly surprised. Booked a double room with a bathroom and it was as good as many hotels that I've stayed in. Well located with very friendly staff and a great cheap kitchen/dining room for breakfast - this hostel was well worth the visit.

Anyone planning to visit the Giant's Causeway can book a day trip that leaves from the hostel at about 9am and gets back at around 7pm.

If you're in Belfast this hostel is a great place to stay.

Belfast International Youth Hostel

3/3 found this review helpful

This is a wonderful hostel in a blooming city, and well worth a stay for all people, singles, couples, families, whatever. I saw all sorts while there. It is located in the University district, a walk down the road from the Botanical Gardens which are very pretty and near everything. Many of the tours (notable the one to Giant's Causeway) depart from there and it's easy access to all tourist sights in Belfast.
The hostel itself has tight security, the staff are relatively friendly and definitely helpful. They have laundry facilities, a library, tv room, kitchen, and a cafe open in the mornings for a wonderful breakfast (heavenly french toast) It comes highly recommended. The rooms are small but clean and a good place to spend the night. You can't go wrong here, well worth the small price they ask!

“Great location”

If you are a single traveller in Belfast this place makes it affordable. The highest rate of 28 pounds for twin ensuite room on the weekend is a third the price of a similar hotel room in the same area!! Spent nights in both the bunk bed twin standard room and the twin bed ensuite room. Worth the extra 6 pounds for your own bathroom I think. More room to spread out your stuff too. The self catering kitchen had everything you needed to cook for yourself or just make a snack. The cafe also served a nice breakfast at a price you won't find anywhere in the area.
Staff were very helpful and the tour bus does stop right out the door. Internet, phones and laundry facilities.........all there too.
Can be a bit noisy when the pub across the street closes and the patrons are staggering home. I am a 50 year old female and there were lots of others my age about as well as the young crowd.
