Maeve was incredibly nice and helpful. She offered to pick me up from the train station despite me being able to catch a bus, just because it was raining. The place is lovely, very clean and cozy. The hostel itself feels like it has a story to tell. I booked many accomodations during my trip in the UK and Ireland, and this was one of the best. Best Value for the price.

Lovely place that feels like your second home. Nicely decorated and really pleasant for short or longer stay. The surrounding area is well worth exploration, both Glenarm and Carlough. If you ever decide to explore coastal North Ireland do stay at this place and you will not regret it.

The location of the hostel is very good. You can walk there from the bus station. There are several fast food restaurants and small supermarkets around, which is very convenient. The meeting point for the scheduled one-day tour is right at the door. The four of us booked rooms three times. David also helped us arrange a room and helped us when we didn't know how to use the washing machine. It is also very convenient for the children to go to the kitchen on the first floor to make breakfast. In short, it is worth it.

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.
