Gapyear.com says...
When it comes to good hostelling, the Belfast International Youth Hostel has hit the nail on the head. This place may have a lively atmosphere, but it has a cosy feel to it too. With 54 rooms, the emphasis is on quality, not quantity and you are bound to feel at home here. Spend your days enjoying all that Belfast has to offer and the evenings relaxing with your fellow backpackers in the chillout areas before heading out again to sup Guinness in one of the city's many bars.
