Belfast International Youth Hostel

The Harborfront Haven Hotel was a perfect maritime escape. The hotel's location right on the harbor offered stunning views of the boats and the sea. Our room was comfortable and had a balcony for soaking in the maritime atmosphere. The hotel staff were attentive and provided excellent recommendations for seafood dining. It's a place where the sea breeze soothes the soul.

We got the private two person room which was small but comfortable. The beds were soft and there was a sink/ lockers to put your bags in. There were at least 4 bathrooms/ showers on the floor, all single stall and were clean the whole time we were there. Although we did here bits of noise during the day, the nights were quiet. The staff were very friendly, and more than happy to help with queries *a note on accessibility: the lift was broken while we were there so make sure to check beforehand

You can't beat the location - right in the heart of Belfast and walkable to many places nearby. Price is reasonable as well, and there is a restaurant next door with good food. The staff is also friendly and helpful. The downside is the room. You get what you pay for of course , but the private room bathroom was just an open space with the toilet, sink and shower. No separate tub or enclosed shower. The issue is there is no table or racks to put toiletries, your bath towel, etc so you either had to keep things on the floor and get wet, or store things outside the bathroom. A waterproof table or extra racks would be a welcome addition to these rooms.

Ideal location. Plus fantastic café next door. Service absolutely flawless and so friendly, thank you Paul for everything. Rooms perfectly clean, yet, better air flow in bedroom - stuffy at night, perhaps a bath rug so feet are not wet constantly when entering wet room. Could do with better pillows, - mine squished out to each side with nothing left in the centre except the pillow case, so an upgrade with pillows would be delightful. Would defo stay again. 4*

Liegt zentral und ist sehr laut. Betten quietschen und sind unbequem, ich habe kaum geschlafen. Küche hingegen ist überdurchschnittlich und die Lounge ist bequem. Wifi hat seine Macken, ich hab min Datenvolumen genutzt.

Cheap and cheerful as you'd expect from a hostel. I stayed in a twin double room which was a bit tired and Spartan but again to be expected with a hostel. Staff were friendly and it is well situated with an excellent cafe next door. A pub, convenience store and bus tour companies are all on your doorstep. If you just want somewhere to get your head down and showered in the morning without breaking the bank this is a great option.

I've placed a four star on the rooms as the lockers were tiny. But I realized that they were to put in your valuablesonly. Not sure if this was such a great thing. Also noticed that the recharge facilities on the beds are sooo slow. These are probably things that are easily adjusted and or changed. The location was great - had everything around and the fact that Travel agent (Taylor) was such a great help was another bonus. Thanks David and the crew for your help and patience.

Nice for the price, and the location also good, close to the city center. But all equipments look old. There is no washbasin in shared toilets. The push tap faucet in the room only works for about 10s once, then you need to press it again.
