Belfast International Youth Hostel Reviews

the only thing I didn´t like are the plastic covered matrases!! beside that all recomandable!!

Very friendly and helpful staff.

Very friendly staff. From the very warm welcome at the check-in to the detailed suggestion at night slot.

Great hostel, will come back. :)

We booked a room for two persons, and ended up in something like a prison cell. Compared to other hostels we booked for our journey in Ireland and Northern Ireland, this was easily the worst value for money and a big deception. We should emphasize that when booking a youth hostel, we're not waiting for a first class hotel room, but this was really poor: thin and unconfortable foam mattraces,dirty toilets, internet is not free and even this didn't work, unpersonal atmosphere. Not recommended!

Great Place, Friendly Staff! Very clean and tidy!

There was a loud noise at night, like something was hitting another thing (loudly wood knock). Everyday and about each hour.

not clean

Hostel was in good location, close to centre and sites. Very pleasant stay. would recommend and will use again. as was visiting friends i did not make use of any of the facilities other than parking so cannot comment on them. Overall very pleasant stay.n

The staff were fantastic and very friendly. The private room I booked was pretty poor, and didn't look at all how it appeared on the website. I think the twin rooms are very variable. I didn't sleep on the rubber sheets and pretty poor bathrooms, but the atmosphere and location were good.

The place is very warm, friendly and comfortable to live-in. The staff at the reception is exceedingly helpful and friendly; Though we checked-in at about 11 in the night, the gentleman at the reception was so patient and even marked all the places/things of interest on the map for us. The location of the hostel is superb (close to city center). The rooms are bare bones/minim but comfortable enough. Best part - Alan's causeway cafe! Breakfast is yum and menu item 'Belfast' is a must have!

A friend and I stayed at Belfast International Youth Hostel just for a night. When we arrived, the member of the staff was not very friendly and he required us to leave our ID's, which we needed for our stay (we are from Spain!) In the end, he agreed to take our student cards instead. The room was small but warm and it had a sink. The bathrooms were clean. Our beds were not made and when we took the sheets to make them, my friend found some hair on hers. Fine for a weekend only.

There should have been at least a big table to keep things. The heater should have been put on for a longer time since it was winter.

Receptionist didn't really bother to inform us neither about hostel facilities nor city. Room was tiny and cold because of single glased windows so we were freezing at night. In total: we didn't feel welcome at all.

The kitchen was very well equipped, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the location was ok but a little far from the city center. The only problemwe found was the temperature in the room...was winter and the heating only works at certain hours so in the most of the time the room was cold.

I have never seen a hostel where you have to pay for WIFI. It's ridiculous. The location and the cleanliness are not so good. It's expensive and you haven't breakfast.

- staff member at the reception desk was monosyllabic and responded to questions with a grunt (lighten up mate) - loose fitting sheets were annoying, which slipped off at the slightest movement, exposing the plastic wrapped mattress underneath - complimentary soap dispensers would be nice, given its a pretty standard feature in hostels

Ideal hostel for what we need just a one night stay in Belfast it is only 5 minutes walk away from city hall. Didnt spend much time in the hostel but a twin room was what we expected and clean would stay again. Thanks

Really helpful staff, clean rooms and bathrooms, big kitchen with variate menu, quiet location but not far from where Belfast gives its best.

We have a very nice stay in the hostel. Phil is so helpful and really nice! The twin room is a little small but all the facilities are in good condition.
