The room size was very good. The location was amazing right close to food, transport, places to visit and shopping whereas it is not exactly city center that takes you away from noise. The staff was very kind and respectful. Facilities at room and cleanliness is appreciated. Kitchen and other facilities are good.

We stayed as a family and had the room to ourselves (four single bunk beds and a queen bed). It was great for traveling with kids! They accommodated parking our camper, which made it easy to walk the 5 minutes to the Giant’s Causeway.

Great location to explore Portstewart and surrounding areas. Rick is a lovely guy and very helpful. Nice communal and laid back feel to the hostel. Plus good value for money compared to what else is around.

Quirky accommodation. We spent two nights in the hay barn room and it was perfect for what we needed. Beds were comfy, shower was good and plenty of hot water. Can't fault the cleanliness of the facilities and the breakfast was a bonus. It was quiet at night. Great location for exploring the area. Would definitely go back if we were in the area, would love to camp or stay in the glamping pods on site

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.
