This huge hostel is the biggest in Belfast and the only one affiliated with Hostelling International. It's a short walk from all a tourist heart desire's, from Queen's Quarter pubs and attractions to city centre shops and restaurants. A recent rennovation has heralded a slew of top class amenities including en-suite rooms, left luggage, currency exchange and laundry facilities. The Causeway and internet cafes serve up good value grub and Mini Coach tours (based at the hostel) offer daily tours to the Giant's Causeway. more » « less

Even though Belfast International Youth Hostel is called a hostel, this place felt much more like a hotel. I wish every hostel we stayed at on our trip to Ireland and Northern Ireland would have been this nice. Everything was so clean and felt so secure. The location is a short walk to City Center, but there is a lot... more

Stayed here one weeked with my 12 year old daughter. We had a twin en-suite. Room was clean and functional, apart from the bathroom which was a bit grubby. Beds were narrow, high, and mattresses rather hard. Our room was at the front opposite a taxi firm, a bit noisy late at night. We enjoyed good value breakfast at the... more

Although the Hostel itself is 'refurbished', this should not mean 'soul-less'. Maybe this is why every member of staff with whom I had dealings left much to be desired. Surliness, rudeness, disinterest were constants here. This was evident from the failure to look up, offer any greeting, say ANYTHING, by a person on reception(shamefully, another New Zealander). This set the... more

This was the first hostel my friend and I stayed in during our trip to Europe during the summer, it was also the first hostel experience I have had. Unfortunately we got quite unlucky and were put in one of the unrenovated rooms. I didn't really have a problem with the room itself. It definitely was nowhere close to being... more

Allowed us to check in early to our room. Had a private twin room with a sink. I only had an issue with the shower which was basically a small bathroom with a hole in the ground without a drain cover. The floors in the showers aren't tile they're just some sort of industrial flooring. I highly recommend bringing flip-flops.... more

My boyfriend and I stayed here...booked a double room - they don't have double beds...only single ones. Not very romantic. Room - The beds look like they could turn into bunks. Were very high off the ground and fixed to the wall (ie you cannot push them together). It was clean. Bathroom - Terrible. Shower had no shower curtain...just an... more

The staff was very nice and tried to help out a lot. They weren't too knowledgeable, but tried to help any way they could. The place is very "institutionalized" looking. Looks like a hospital, very clean and sterile. The bathroom in our room was a sink, toilet, and shower, no curtain for the shower. So when you shower you are... more

We stayed here for two nights at the end of August. We had a twin ensuite. As far as hostels go it was clean, secure, and relatively quiet. Our room overlooked the street (and the bar across from it), so we did feel a little less private than we would have liked. The beds were your traditional dorm bed -... more

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... more
