Iris House

Davide ist ein Goldstück, sehr zuvorkommend, wir durften spontan beim Abendessen mitessen und wir bekamen Dank ihm ein tolles Pub-Erlebnis beschert. Das Haus ist absolut sauber.

Die Zimmer sind sehr eng, aber das ist eben Großstadt, da kostet Raum viel Geld.

Friendly owner and everything was very clean and working properly. Cheap and cheerful

The people next door started talking at midnight after a few drinks and I couldn't close the window because it was too warm but it didn't last too long and the toilet was all the way downstairs not ideal but workable.

very nice cozy house in a quiet residential area of West Belfast and you can use all the common areas, incl bathroom with bathtub n modern shower head, hot water always available. The host is very nice and kindly allowed me to stay a little longer than normal checkout time which was greatly appreciated. Modern locks on house door and your room, I always felt safe even as lone female traveller. There is a garden and garden furniture which you can use (I didn’t on this short trip), teabags, coffee n vegan milk was provided and there’s a guest fridge where you can store your chilled food if needed. It’s about 35min on foot in a straight line into the city centre which is not too bad, and it’s a nice walk. Would definitely stay again.

the key safe locker is located at a very low point on the wall which can be tricky to reach if you carry a shoulder bag and have to bend down.

Instructions for using keysafe and getting in were straightforward. The host did communicate well. The use of kitchen was helpful, it was generally clean and tidy, as was the bathroom.

I have stayed in a homestay type property before. Unfortunately this one didn't compare well. The host wasn't there to greet me on arrival, they did apologise, but would have been good to have the initial positive start. It did feel strange to arrive with no one in the house. The bedroom was OK size wise, for one person. It could do with freshening up, although I liked the little painted table. I didn't unfortunately find the bed comfortable, for me the mattress was past its best, I did not sleep the first night at all. The night started off badly, i had been out for part of the evening, and returned to very loud music from the next door. The host again apologised for this situation. The kitchen was useful, but the very tired looking scourers for washing up were not great, it's the small things that can count. Also the bathroom is downstairs, not great to be coming down the stairs at night of you have to go, through the kitchen in your nightwear. Again especially as a female. This let to me deciding I would be best to change accommodation, in addition the area didn't feel great for a female on their own. This is quite a run down neighbourhood, the garden of the property was quite overgrown, it felt like the place was unkempt and just not that appealing. Not for me anyway!
