En-suite rooms and studios on York Street
LIV Belfast student accommodation is a 13-floor building on York Street, in Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter, with space for more than 700 students. Residents choose between en-suite rooms in shared apartments and private studios.
Rent includes all bills, contents insurance and superfast Wi-Fi.
Shared apartments have lockable en-suite bedrooms and come in five categories: Standard, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Studios follow the same tiers, and higher categories sit on the upper floors.
Some studios have a wet room, and one studio type opens directly onto the roof terraces. Several studio categories also offer dual occupancy, so two students can share. The room widget shows which ones.
Shared spaces include a fitness and wellness studio, a study room, a games room, a cinema and a media room. There is also a hosting kitchen for cooking with friends.
The building has two roof terraces and bike storage. The team is on site 24 hours a day, with 24-hour security and CCTV.
Living in the Cathedral Quarter
The Cathedral Quarter is the city’s arts and nightlife district, a short walk from the centre. The building sits on the same street as Ulster University’s Belfast campus, which students can reach on foot.
Queen’s University Belfast is further south, and easy to reach by bus or bike. The Nearby universities panel on this page shows exact travel times.

Is LIV Belfast right for you?
It suits students who want a private studio but still want social spaces close by. Students who prefer flatmates can choose an en-suite room in a shared apartment instead.
It also works for students who do not need a full academic year. Most room types offer semester stays, including a mid-year start. The team confirms what is available for each room.
Residents can also join workshops, courses and social activities run by the building.
