The Best Affordable Hostels in Belfast

Belfast is Northern Ireland's capital. It was the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, which famously struck an iceberg and sunk in 1912. This legacy is recalled in the renovated dockyards’ Titanic Quarter, which includes the Titanic Belfast, an aluminum-clad museum reminiscent of a ship's hull, as well as shipbuilder Harland and Wolff's Drawing Offices and the Titanic Slipways, which now host open-air concerts. Belfast is in many ways a brand-new city. Once shunned by travelers unnerved by tales of the Troubles and sectarian violence, in recent years it has pulled off a remarkable transformation to a hip-hotels-and- party town. New venues keep popping up – already this decade historic Crumlin Road Gaol and SS Nomadic opened to the public. They all add to a list of attractions that includes beautifully restored Victorian architecture, a glittering waterfront lined with modern art, a fantastic and fast-expanding foodie scene, and music-filled pubs. There's plenty of things to do here, and these hostels provide an excellent base for exploring the area.
