Hostels have come a long way baby! And by a long way, I mean since the grungy, dirty, cockroach-infested places they used to be. Sure, there are still some seedy hostels around, but for the most part they’ve cleaned up their act and are a great, affordable option for budget-minded travellers.

Belfast is one of those destinations where hostels can really come in handy. Not only are they cheap, but they’re also a great way to meet other travellers. And as an added bonus, most Belfast hostels are located in the city centre, so you’re never far from the action.

If you’re still not convinced, here are four reasons why you should consider staying in a Belfast hostel on your next trip:

1. They’re Affordable

Let’s face it, hostels aren’t cheap. But when you compare the cost of a hostel bed to that of a hotel room, they’re a bargain. And in Belfast, where hotel prices can be a bit on the high side, hostels are a great way to save some money.

2. They’re Convenient

Most Belfast hostels are located in the city centre, which is great if you want to be close to all the action. You’ll also find that most hostels offer a range of services and amenities, including breakfast, internet access, and laundry facilities.

3. They’re Friendly

One of the best things about hostels is the sense of community that they foster. If you’re looking for a place to meet other travellers, a hostel is a great place to start. And if you’re looking for a little bit of privacy, most hostels offer private rooms or dorms with ensuite bathrooms.

4. They’re Fun

Let’s face it, hostels can be a lot of fun. Between the communal kitchens and living areas, and the social events that often take place, there’s always something going on. So if you’re looking for a place to let your hair down, a hostel is the place to be.
