    1/The bunk beds were very uncomfortable, far too low, narrow and the mattresses were too soft for the back. 2/The metallic wardrobes are terribly noisy for a bedroom. 3/Pegs were missing, so it was not possible to hang the coats. 4/Bulbs had too low power for the room.

    1/The location was excellent. 2/The cafe for breakfast was convenient and the breakfast was superb and economic. 3/Price/bed was excellent

    Noise from the main Rd starts early, okay value for money.

    Great location, 10 min walk to the centre, City Hall etc. Plenty of good restaurants and pubs nearby.Tea, coffee facilities in reception, friendly staff on reception with advice on things to see and do. Cracking cafe next door for breakfast.

    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.

    Very clear instructions on room facilities emailed before our arrival, however I think a non slip shower mat should be there

    Staff at reception absolute gentlemen, simple check in procedure completed in 5 mins max, our bags had been safely stored beforehand, however the 13.30 check in was essential for us as we had a 3pm function in the North of the city, I was really happy with the price we paid for our ensuite room.

    We had issue with a smell in the room that came from the carpet. We had to leave the window open most of the time. Not sure if we would have managed to do this in the winter. There was some noise in the corridor at night which was not great.

    We stayed in a twin room which is efficient. There is a sink in the room. Staff were fantastic. They helped us in every way, from swift checking in to providing information about the accommodation and the nearby amenities. Location is excellent as in Belfast City centre and across from a bus tour company. Breakfast in the Causeway Café next door was fantastic. Staff at the café are wonderful too. The free tea and coffee facility is a great idea.

    The cleaning was just okay, nothing in particular was wrong, but i do wish id brought flip flops, even though i had a privet shower. Outside my room at night i could hear others walking around, which is what you would expect from a hostel, but i could also hear others yelling on the street after a night out. I felt safe, it was just loud.

    The staff where friendly and assisted me to check in. I checked in late and they where very accommodating. My room was up to standard. The location was very central and easy to walk around Belfast from.

    There was a very annoying buzzing noise we could hear from our room the entire stay, it sounded like some sort of electrical unit in another room, made it difficult to sleep. A small bench in the room for sitting on or placing objects would have been appreciated too.

    Clean, modern facility with lots of amenities. Appreciated the kitchen and the cafe next door. Staff were lovely, very helpful and friendly. A 10 minute walk to city centre and nearby take-outs and stores right around the corner. Everything worked well, and a great price. (If you take a shower, I recommend leaving your clothes outside the door so they don't get wet!)

    There is no shampoo or shower gels. The bathrom provide less water shower. But I don’t mind about those because we paid lower prices compared with other hotels.

    Me and my mom stayed at Belfast International Youth Hostel for 2 nights when our first time visit to Belfast. The location is great , about 10 mins walk to the europa buscenter and city center. There is a lot of restaurants and grocery stores around there. The hostel kitchen is quite systematic, they provide label which we can attach on our foods and we could have microwave dinner there. Our room is a twin bedroom with private bathroom. The room has enough space for us and has a good view of the mountains. The beds are comfortable.

    No plug next to the bed so so inconvenient to get phone charged up at night. Shower water not warm enough. I think the bathroom facilities need to improved

    I had the best sleep here. Simple and clean and very nice staff. I love my 4 heds in dorm.

    The staff were very friendly from arrival to departure and helped us with whatever we needed. The room was the perfect base for us to explore the city, and we couldn't fault the location being well linked by public transport, but with plenty of bars and restaurants close by if we didn't want to venture far that night.

    The key card system was pretty ordinary to be honest. We had to get our card recalibrated a couple of times as it just wouldn't work when we went to scan into our room.

    The staff were really friendly and happy to help. The location was quite good, only a 10 minute walk into the city centre and conveniently next to a cheap cafe.
