Youth Hostel Association Northern Ireland

Youth Hostel Association of Northern Ireland (YHANI) is a non -profit organisation founded in 1931.  It is one of the founding members of Hostelling International, the largest youth organisation in the world, with 4,000 youth hostels in 90 countries, and providing high standard accommodation to suit local and world travelers. Under the name of Hostelling International Northern Ireland (HINI) we operate three budget youth hostels across Northern Ireland: in Belfast, Bushmills and White Park Bay and we also have an affiliated hostel in the City of Armagh. Our hostels comply with Hostelling International’s brand standards, assuring travelers get clean, safe, comfortable and affordable accommodation with a friendly welcome.

YHANI is committed to using our hostels and maximizing our resources in a way that can impact the communities around our hostels in Northern Ireland. Within the locations and natural surroundings of our hostels we create a safe and welcoming environment for young people from marginalized backgrounds. In partnership with other agencies and NGOs we aspire to offer a variety of programmes for the young people to grow, reflect, learn and empower themselves. We work along the highest level of child protection and with a zero-tolerance policy for any acts of violence, discrimination, or bullying. Another objective is the running of volunteering opportunities, programmes, and events that promote intercultural exchange and global consciousness for both travelers and locals.
