A great 3-night stay in a twin private room with bathroom/shower. Room and amenities basic but very clean, good radiator heating for chilly November. The very helpful receptionist provided me an extra duvet - I’m a colbody South African!  - which I didn’t need. 
The place was almost empty so we had the large well-equipped no-frills kitchen, and foyer seating almost to ourselves. Also the cost TV room. The cafe attached to the hostel is great- - friendly staff & locals, great cheap food. 
Very good place. 

Friendly clean comfortable place 10min walk from the centre

Friendly staff, good rates and an easy ten minute walk into town. There is a great cheap cafe on site for breakfasts and close to many bars. Scary looking locals pub opposite but actually ok. Lots of other bars around the corner too

All good

I stayed in this hostel with my brother, we shared a room with two single beds. We were really happy with our stay. The prices are reasonable and the staff were kind and helpful. It’s perfect if you want to explore Belfast and don’t want to overspend on accommodation.

Friendly staff and good location

I have just returned from Belfast after a five day field trip with my geography students.  The hostel was perfect for our needs. It's in a fantastic location - just close enough to the city centre to experience Belfast urban life in NI' s amazing capital city but just tucked away enough to relax when needed. The staff in this hostel are outstanding - so professional and highly organised - and really helpful with every single query. Special mention must be given to David, Phil and Georgina all of whom heled make our stay a huge success. Thank you all so much. Hope to be back again soon!

Perfect Location With Outstanding Staff

Lovely staff. 
Very close to the city centre. 
We’ve stayed here every remembrance weekend for several years now and can’t fault the place.   
Excellent value for money and if you want a brekkie the cafe next door does one of the biggest & best ulster fry’s I’ve ever had.

YHA Belfast.

Staff was marvelous, helpful and kind, always ready to help. Thank you for the free towels guys, we were ready to pay for them, but we appreciated the treat!
Prices were the lowest in town, period.
Highlight: hot showers non-stop, a real treat, and also clean and spacious.
Rooms are even too warm, and the street can be very loud at night during weekend. We didn't mind, but just so y'all know. I'd rather have a bit too warm than damp and cold, and come on, it's a weekend, what do you expect! Good ventilation in the rooms.
The place was generally decently clean. Not sparkling by any means, but I have seen waaaay worse and all essentials were definitely clean - sheets, towels, toilets, etc.p
We had a very clean fridge available in a common area and clean counter with water, kettle, microwave and toaster, milk, sugar, coffee and tea. There are also some tables in the lounge so you can make yourself some simple food even if the kitchen proper is closed due to Covid. Hey, Tesco reduced to clear shelf is full of soups and ready meals 😁 Anyway the cafe is lovely if you fancy a Belfast fry or a giant plate of pancakes.
Stuff kept breaking down, key cards were malfunctioning on and off, no lift, but the staff were always there to solve problems and we didn't suffer any discomfort. It's been a weird year and a half for them, closing and reopening and having less tourists around; in my opinion it is already a miracle that they are operating at all, and I am grateful for it.
The place is at walking distance from literally everything in Belfast city, including the bus stop to Dublin. The area is not fancy, quite rough actually, but we never felt unsafe walking around at night.
Definitely going to be my basecamp for holidays in Belfast!

Cheap, cheerful and central

Half way through our tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland it got cancelled because of everything that is going on with COVID-19. We as a group were left in Dublin for us to chose to go home or wait until our flights. As a group we decided we still wanted to see what we could of Belfast the very next morning. As it was going by UK laws and regulations nothing had been shut down yet, unfortunately for Phil at this hostel we called about 30 times to get help and ask a million questions as it was such last minute planning and the eve of St Paddy's day. We're we to go and stay and party there or stay in Dublin and get the bus in the morning, we asked everything possible and seriously called way too many times, which to our surprise Phil was actually so understanding and helpful through out the whole process.. We can't thank him enough as I'm sure we would have drove him nuts that night.. But he did give the best advice, we took it and had the best day we could possibly have with everything that was happening around the world. We couldn't have asked for anything more for our last day.. We appreciated it so much..

Best Customer Service

Cozy room and a very nice stay. The staff even gave us towels because we forgot, which was cool! Taps in the bathroom were a bit of a challenge, but otherwise, we really can't complain! Cafe downstairs is super cool, and everything was close to town, which was exactly what we needed! :)

For the price, this hostel is good.  We had the smallest private room with bunk beds.  We had been warned by the hostel that it was very small but in actual fact it wasn’t too bad.  Very grateful they had a lift though because we were on the 2nd floor.  We pushed our cases under the bottom bunk for more room.  Only downfall was that the top bunk mattress had springs that stuck up and could easily be felt.  Plus was having a sink in the room.  The kitchen was good and the TV room a nice spot to sit.  Staff were friendly and helpful.  Shower area was fine but the toilet at our end was dirty.  We chose the hostel because it was easy walking distance from the train and Europa bus station.  It is also a comfortable walk downtown, close to shops and restaurants.  There is a pub across the road that was noisy into the early hours of the morning however, it was Saturday night so only to be expected I guess.  All in all we would recommend for a couple of nights.

Good value

There was no recycling at all at the hostel. In the kitchen there was a single bin where food waste, plastics, paper, cans and bottles were all mixed together. I was really shocked by this. I spoke to the management about it and they said they hope to have recycling soon. But it seems very regressive that recycling is not in place in 2023!
Apart from that the hostel was great. We had a family room with a sink and an amazing view over the Devis Hills. We also had a view of the Royal Pub which was definitely to be avoided as it was rough and sectarian. Once you avoided the rough pub and ignored the flags the area was really handy, with a great selection of restaurants around the corner, a 15 minute walk to the city and on the train line to the Titanic and the coast.
This hostel is an ideal base for exploring Belfast City on a budget with kids, but stay away from the rowdy pub and they need to sort out the recycling immediately.
