THE HOSTEL:

The biggest and best hostel in Belfast ... ideally situated just 10 minutes walk from the Europa Bus Station and 5 minutes from Botanic Train Station. We are open 24 hours a day 365 days a year! The best location in town for museums, galleries, music venues, shops and pubs and clubs. Queen's University and the Botanic Gardens are a 5 minute walk - and City Hall just 15 minutes away on foot.

The hostel is 2 buildings in one ... the original hostel building where our standard rooms are located ... and our extension where we have our en-suite rooms. We have recently refurbished many of our shower rooms and toilets in the original hostel building.

Our 'standard' rooms have black metal bunk beds - again all with a reading light.

Rooms listed on our booking page as 'twin private shared bathroom' have bunk beds. Standard twins are small and designed for those seeking a budget room, but some privacy.
