The staff is really kind and friendly. Everything was clean, working and in good shape. I had to leave before the official check out and they were ok with that, which was a big plus.

Belfast International Youth Hostel is located 7 minutes’ walk from the Botanic Garden. It offers private and dormitory rooms, an on-site café and a free Wi-Fi zone.

Rooms at the hostel feature shared or private bathroom facilities. Linens are provided and dormitory rooms also feature lockers. Guests can also relax in the lounge areas. Self service laundry facilities are also available.

Our room on the third floor was clean with just enough room to accomplish all we wanted to do. It has a pleasant street outlook and there was some noise at night but not too much and not too late, less than you'd expect from a downtown hostel. The bathroom had a shower which drained well and was not slippery which I thought it might might have been when I first saw it. The reception staff were courteous and went out of their way to help which was a big improvement on a huge Heathrow hotel which charged twice as much. Very good lo

    Hostel in a Great location as easy to walk to major city sites. Causeway Cafe next door was lovely with a choice of tasty foods for most tastes including specialist diets - Gluten Free, Vegetarian, Vegan. Both hostel & cafe staff friendly and helpful. Beds were just about Ok. Also Found a great restaurant not far away Darcy's which also served fab food.

    Overall good place for the budget stay in Belfast. We had the room next to the main door so heard everyone going in and out but it probably needs to be considered when booking shared accomodation. It has everything you need for few nights in the city. Check in and out is easy and communication with the owner is good as well. Bus stop is literally 2 min walk and it's very easy to get to the city center. Uber was 15£ on Saturday night so it's not bad as well. Can recommend for anyone looking for something cheaper than hotels.

    Well-located, accessible by public transport or by foot to the main station and downtown area. Friendly staff.It was ok for the price level in Belfast. It is a simple youth hostel but it was good for a short stay.

    Located close to the city center, the hostel is worth the price: the rooms are small but clean and the staff is friendly and willing to help. Individual showers is a plus, and other bathroom facilities are what you would expect from a cheap youth hostel. Good experience overall.

    Cheap and cheerful hostel. Good location and clean. I stayed in a private room and had my own en suite bathroom, which was handy. Everything worked as expected and the building felt safe and secure.

    The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room itself was exactly what you needed it to be - clean, comfortable, convenient and as a bonus, cheap! It was extremely good value for money and was a great location. Very close to the Botanic Train Station and to the Botanic Gardens/ student area. Some really great places to eat were nearby too. I would definitely stay here again. The area felt very safe and wasn't far to walk to from the city centre. Comes recommended!
