Belfast International Youth Hostel

The staff is friendly and professional, offering excellent service. Conveniently located near downtown and transportation. However, discomfort arises from short beds, lack of heating, and noisy bunk beds.

absolute dumphole of a place,cold rooms,when asked about heating was told NO heating like it or lump it,room carpets and beds were taken out of a skip it was bogging,booked for 3 nights left after first night... THE STAFF ARE NOT INTERESTED IN ANYTHING YOU SAY DO NOT STAY HERE.

You'd think it's 'cheap' to stay in a hostel, but no. Sure, the nightly rate might be considered cheap but given all the restrictions the hostel has set, it appears to be quite expensive, considering that we even got an ensuite. WiFi has very limited access--I can't even access Outlook, no access to YouTube and several other 'basic' sites. You can't even send nor receive photos on some messaging apps, can't see the gifs, can't upload photos even on here. The WiFi in restaurants are way better. Everything else has limited time: use of Kitchen, heating, hot water, etc. You only discover this once you check in. I'm posting the photos of their signs. We’ve stayed in several other hostels in the past, and it’s not like this. No towel and toiletries--although this is indicated when you book. Even then, you'd think that if you're booking an ensuite, that's the least they'll provide, but no. The design of the shower and toilet is bad. You'd get everything wet, and they don't even have any bath mat. If you ask for one, they'd give you a towel. Thankfully, for free. But if you ask for a new one because the other one just got soaking wet, they won't give you another one to replace it. Some staff members are not friendly nor accommodating at all. Location is pretty central--that's probably the only positive thing that can be said of them. But there are many other accommodations in the centre. You're better off paying a bit more and booking with them! Don't think twice! It's just horrible.
