Start with your university
Pick a university and see the buildings around it, with the walk or the ride to campus on every one.
Neighbourhoods
Where to look in Belfast
Use these established student areas as starting points, then compare each property's rent and route to your university.
Where students live in Belfast
Areas students actually take rooms in, with the buildings closest to each one. Matched by location, so a building appears under the area it stands in rather than the area its marketing claims.
Botanic and Queen's Quarter
The red brick around the Lanyon Building, with Botanic Avenue's cafes and the gardens behind it. Its own railway halt, and two streets of separation from the Holylands that you can hear.
- Bradbury Placefrom £185/week
- Aster House, Belfastfrom £175/week
- Ryan Hall, Belfastfrom £225/week
Cathedral Quarter and city centre
Where Ulster University's Belfast campus landed on York Street, and where the newer blocks have followed it. Cobbled lanes, murals, and the city's best nights out downstairs.
- Great Patrick Streetfrom £149/week
- Little Patrick Streetfrom £153/week
- LIV Student Belfastfrom £163/week
Useful to know nearby
Places students in Belfast actually use. We have no arrangement with any of them.

- Botanic Gardens
The public gardens between Queen’s main campus, Stranmillis and the Ulster Museum.
- Ormeau Park
A large green space beside the Ormeau student area and the Lagan cycle route.
- Glider
The rapid bus service crossing Belfast east to west, useful for campuses and neighbourhoods beyond walking distance.

What to know before choosing a room in Belfast
A city-by-city note about the decisions that change your daily routine. Prices and availability remain live in the listings above.
Belfast concentrates its students more tightly than almost any city in these islands. The Holylands, a grid of a dozen streets off the Ormeau Road named after Jerusalem, Damascus and Palestine, sits behind Queen's University and houses a remarkable share of its undergraduates. Ulster University moved its Belfast campus up to York Street in the Cathedral Quarter, which has opened up a second, very different half of the city.

Getting around Belfast
Belfast is compact and most student journeys here are walks: the Holylands to the Queen's Lanyon Building takes about ten minutes, and Botanic station to the centre is one stop. Translink runs the Glider, a bus rapid transit route crossing the city east to west, and Metro buses cover the rest, all on one card. Botanic, City Hospital and Lanyon Place are the three stations that matter. The city is flat along the Lagan and the towpath makes a genuinely pleasant cycle, and the Belfast Bikes scheme covers the centre and the university areas.

Frequently asked questions
- 15 buildings in Belfast publish a starting price, from £129 to £225 a week, and half of them start under £163. Most of the difference is area and room type rather than one or two outliers. Each figure is the cheapest room in that building, so compare the room lists rather than the headline.
- Everything we list in Belfast is in Botanic and Queen's Quarter and Cathedral Quarter and city centre. Buildings are filed by their coordinates, not by the area their marketing claims, so the table above puts each one where it actually stands.
- Nearly all of them: 12 of 15. The remaining 3 publish nothing either way, which is not the same as charging extra, and each property page says which of the two it is.
