Looking for cheap accommodation in Belfast rarely means looking for poor quality accommodation. Since the end of the political tensions in Northern Ireland over the past decade, the tourist industry has benefitted in Belfast, resulting in a positive effect on the quality of accommodation in the city.

The number of places that offer cheap accommodation in Belfast has almost doubled in the past five years alone. With many independent houses converting to hostel abodes to accommodate for the growing influx of visitors and offering extremely good prices ranging from fifteen dollars for dormitories to thirty dollars for a private, many of which can be reserved hours before your intended stay.

Although it is advisable to book accommodation well in advance, cheap accommodation in Belfast is provided in person at the tourist information centre situated adjacent to Castle Place in the city center. The employees there are extremely helpful and friendly, and will provide you with brochures of cheap accommodation for you to choose from and will even call on your behalf for no charge whatsoever.

Most youth hostels are enrolled to this service, meaning the cheapest choices are willingly on the list provided at the office.

Alternatively, advanced bookings are possible online. The most reputable internet sites are Hostelworld.com, Hostelbookers.com and Gomio.com, which all provide extensive and extremely detailed information on types and quality of accommodation available.

Each hostel has a recorded written appraisal on the websites from previous guests, allowing for honest and personal critique depending on your own specification to aid you with your decision before you make it.

They are rarely further than ten minutes from the city centre and almost always on the main bus routes.

Another authentic but often equally cheap option is the famous bed and breakfasts of Belfast city. Spread out across the outskirts of Belfast City, their location coupled with the increase in competition between them means that the prices remain extremely competitive.

This option is also available online at www.bedandbreakfast.co.uk.

All that is left is to search Belfast properties. Almost all guesthouses allow for advanced booking and information and often free pick-up from the airport.

A word of caution should be noted, namely that many hostels have also engineered their advertisement on this website, which highlights the importance of checking the photograph of the property for its bed and breakfast authenticity!
