Out of the handful of hostels that I have stayed at so far, Global Village was by far the best. If you are in Belfast you can not miss the opportunity to go. Amazing staff who will do their best to make sure you have a great stay. The smoking out back is a fun way to socialize, and they sometimes have very hot staff working their as an added perk! Cheers!

A really awesome hostel. Everything about it feels young and energizing (the games, the people, the atmosphere...). Everything you may want is right down the street, the rooms are very clean and have lockers for everybody, the bathrooms are very nice and the living and dining rooms are just so pleasant. But definitely the best thing here is the staff, specially Fox, who always guided us through the city taking us to the best places and making us truly feel at home. Would definitely return!

Bit of a party Hostel, cranking on a Saturday night when we were there (and fairly noisy on level 1 where my room was) but good fun if that's what you're looking for. Very clean, and friendly staff

Great showers, free "lockers" in the room and a comfortable area to watch movies. I would have appreciated fruit and eggs or ham and cheese with the breakfast. The internet is a bit slow.

i left my phone behind in my room a and it was handed in to reception by the cleaning staff. i was then contacted to let me know my phone was found. staff then also went above and beyond to post my phone back to Me in London. I am truly appreciative of the lengths the staff went to not only in this instance with my phone but to make my stay at Global village as nice as possible. Great place, great facilities, great staff. would go back in a heart beat.

This hostel was beautifully clean an comfortable and provided excellent service with the free breakfast and homely feel. However it could really do with having lockers as I felt really uncomfortable with my belongings being unsecured in my room while I was out exploring. Other than that though it is definitely one of the best hostels I've stayed in so far.

This is one of the best hostels I have seen. One of the rooms I stayed in my second night was maybe too small for 4 people, but that's all I can say from a negative side.
