Guest Reviews

• Richard (8/5): -
• Marie jacques (8/5): - Si vous cherchez un B&B où du thé vous sera servi dans de belles tasses à fleurs passez votre chemin, Kyle vous ouvre sa porte et vous vivez en autonomie chez lui ! Il est passionné de musique et sera toujours de bon conseil pour des visites, des restaurants... Très bien situé, bus à proximité et facile de se gérer devant la maison.
• Belinda (10/5): Lovely place to be and the manager is a top notch very kinded and friendly man (God bless him more) - A place that feels at home I really enjoyed my stay Everything was perfect
• Mike Blackmore (8/5): Nice host, and comfy stay. - I enjoyed the host he was nice Kyle, top man. The location was outside of Belfast Town, it was walking distance to Hearth Pub, and a local Garage to get some goodies. Also was bit of a walk to Takeaways. It was bit of mission to get to when your in Belfast meed to get the bus and knowing your stop Belmont Street, but was behind the houisng estate. Need get 4A, 4B, 3A, or the 4F bus to his house.
• Sandra (5/5): - Gastgeber war sehr freundlich. Badezimmer war unglaublich unhygienisch. Keine einzige Ecke in diesem Raum wurde in letzter Zeit gereinigt. Zimmer war in Ordnung, Bett frisch und für eine Nacht ok. Frühstück haben wir nicht in Anspruch genommen.
• Phillip David (10/5): Anyone with an interest in the history of Belfast music would especially enjoy it. - Location was perfect for what I wanted, I really liked the house and the area and Kyle the owner was a great host, very interesting and knowledgeable. There was an excellent selection of rock and roll books which I wish I had had time to read. I can honestly say I had no complaints at all.
• Alan (10/5): Excellent - Very nice host Easy to find
• ELIZABETH (8/5): -
• Anna (10/5): - Our host, Kyle, was extremely generous and kind! + bed was very comfortable.
• Sergey (9/5): - My stay at the Music and Poetry house was great! Kyle showcased the highest possible standard of hospitality and came across as an incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful host.
• Nichola (10/5): As good as all the great reviews. 🤩 - Convenient location, comfortable beds, parking right outside, cosy interesting surroundings, excellent value for money and good coffee! Kyle was an absolute pleasure to speak to and showed he genuinely cares about his guests. I can’t fault it.
• Andrew (10/5): - Host was so friendly and accommodating.
• Geoff (9/5): Kyle is a very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful host. - Excellent location for my visit to Belmont/Ballyhackamore. Use of the kitchen and dining room is a great facility.
• France (10/5): A Groundhopper'srecommendation! - We can heartily recommend a stay with the wonderful Kyle. The location in East Belfast is just a 10-15 minute ride away from the Arena and Titanic Museum and for any football enthusiasts Glentoran FC, and is literally round the corner from Dundela FC.. Crusaders and Linfield (the National stadium) are also within easy reach. Our rooms were clean and spacious and a light breakfast was included. Kyle couldn't have been more helpful and had some fascinating stories to tell. He even helped by transporting us when we needed. Highly recommended, especially for any sporting or music enthusiasts! I nothing to dislike, good value for money.
• Carol (9/5): Very enjoyable stay - Very welcoming host, Kyle was great to talk to and makes you feel at ease. The house is comfortable and nicely decorated, you can tell that care is taken to make it good for visitors. Bedroom was spacious and bed comfortable, access to comfortable lounge, dining area and kitchen. The nearby area had coffee shops and pubs to visit, with music and so on. I would happily stay here again. It was all fine.
• Victoria (10/5): -
• Peter (9/5): Really enjoyed my short stay and the interaction with Kyle, the owner, who was both friendly and very helpful. - Kyle, the owner, was incredibly friendly and related many fascinating stories about his high profile position in the Belfast music industry. Nothing
• giuseppe (10/5): La casa ha un carattere unico e accogliente. - Kyle gentilissimo, esperto appassionato di musica e super attento. Stanza comodissima. Consigliatissimo! Niente in particolare
• Morrison (10/5): - Kyle was very polite and gave information to many things we asked about. Very knowledgeable. Excellent stay would certainly recommend staying here. I will definitely stay again next time I'm in Belfast.
• Daniel (10/5): Großartiger Gastgeber - Ein Aufenthalt hier fühlt sich an wie ein Besuch bei guten Bekannten in einer fremden Stadt. Gastgeber Kyle lässt einem die Ruhe, die man braucht, erzählt aber auf Nachfrage auch gerne interessante Geschichten rund um Belfast, Fußball und Musik. Zusätzlich gibt es Tipps zu Sehenswürdigkeiten, Busverbindungen und guten Pubs im Stadtzentrum - leider reichte die Zeit nicht, um alles anzusehen oder auszuprobieren. Hoffentlich kann ich bald einmal wiederkommen!
• Clare (9/5): A memorable visit - Comfortable bed, good location. Kyle was an excellent host, went out of his way to show me places to eat and listen to music. Made my visit more special
• Jelle (9/5): - Zeer gastvrije gastheer in een fraaie accomodatie. Je voelt je gelijk thuis. Je krijgt prima tips over de stad en de wijk. Was prima zo
• Jason (10/5): - Kyle is absolutely wonderful.
• Damir (7/5): Good location, helpful and friendly host. - Very helpful and friendly host. Good location in Belfast. Bathroom was shared with other guests and was not close to the room. Bed linings were not freshly changed. Probably it would be good idea for the property, not to host more then one family or group at the time.
• liz (9/5): - Gave us a little tour around and was helpful for what to see
• Muriel (10/5): Un super hôte ! - L accueil de Kyle. Kyle est un hote tres attentionné . Il nous a conseillés pour les restaurants, pour les visites en ville. Il aime partager et faire découvrir sa ville. Très heureux d avoir séjourné chez lui. Ca a donné une couleur particulière à notre séjour à Belfast.
• Stephanie (8/5): - Kyle very friendly Couldn't close/lock bedroom door
• Miguel (9/5): Nice place to stay to explore Belfast - Kyle is an attentive host. The house is located in a quiet suburb. The house common areas are well equipped and organized and there's everything you need. The room was quite big, clean and comfy. Would recommend. The house can be a little far away from downtown if you want to go walking.
• Christian (9/5): -

• Edie (10/5): Great craic, brilliant host and a wonderful part of our trip - Host was brilliant. Kyle is a rock star host. House was fascinating and great area near everything. If you like a chat Kyle’s yer man Nothing - it far exceeded our expectations. Parking is difficult but not impossible.
• Jamie (9/5): Superb - Kyle is very nice and he is an excellent host, very friendly and attentative. The house is gorgeous and with a lovely and comfortable room. Not too inconvenient for the centre of town too, with bus routes and Kyle is always happy to help and give you the number for a taxi.
• Karki (10/5): Exceptional - We had a wonderful stay, and a big part of that was thanks to Mr. Kyle. From the moment we arrived, he was more than just a host—he became our guide. Kyle thoughtfully mapped out the must‑see spots in the area, recommending hidden gems we never would have found on our own. Every suggestion—from the cozy café on the corner to the breathtaking lookout point at sunset—was spot‑on. The home itself was just as impressive: spotless, comfortable, and exactly as pictured, with extra touches that made us feel instantly at ease. After long days of exploring, it was the perfect place to unwind. Kyle’s warmth and local insight turned a simple visit into an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Mr. Kyle, for your hospitality and for guiding us to the best of what this place has to offer. We’d be thrilled to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting!

Very comfortable room and lounge. Proprietor Kyle is very outgoing and helpful (active in music industry). Very short, easy 5-10 minute walk to numerous pubs and restaurants. Two minute walk to good breakfast spot (tea, coffee, yogurt offered at house). Nothing really.

• Michelle (10/5): pleasure and a treat of interesting finds ! - Lovely house and location with a bit of history . The house was spotless and we met the lovely host Kyle. Great guy, who treated us to very interesting stories about the music history in Belfast. Music to our ears for sure . Would definately stay with Kyle again ! n/a
• Stephen (8/5): Interesting guest house, full of contemporary references to music. - Lovely quiet location a couple of miles from the centre of town. The owner Kyle gives a friendly welcome and if you enjoy music and poetry with some local history you are in for a real treat. We had good communications before we arrived and excellent guidance on local places to eat and transport into town. If you'd like to walk it takes about 45 minutes into the centre. I'd have no hesitation in returning on a future trip. Nothing - as this is a guest house there were no surprises or disappointments. There was a little noise from planes taking off from City Airport but as they fly over the city every property will be the same - only lasts a short period, not enough of a reason not to stay.
• Marie (8/5): Very good -
• Abbie (10/5): Extremely comfy bed. Amazing host. - Lovely location. Kyle was amazing. Made sure we were all okay and had lots of recommendations for great things to do in the area. Felt really safe there as a young female travelling with her friend. We both said we’d stay again, even by ourselves.

• Robert (8/5): enjoyable short stay visiting relatives -
• Patrick (10/5): Exceptional - Kyle is a special host in a beautiful home in a fabulous location.

We can't wait to go back again ! Nothing
• Rozanne (10/5): Exceptional - Great host. Very relaxing and enjoyable stay.
• Catherine (8/5): Enjoyed our stay. - Location was excellent. Host Vince was very good. Shared bathroom.
• Sherry (9/5): Close to easy transit and restaurants and the shipyards where Titantic museum. - Beautiful place and the owner was interesting and absolutely great! My issue was the stairs and having recently moved from a 4 storey house for the personal reason of needing a hip replacement which it totally on me not the host.
• Debbie (8/5): A comfortable stay in the Belfast suburbs. - Our host was friendly and the room was really comfortable. We hadn't realised that the bathroom wasn't en suite but was shared.
• Jim (9/5): No frills but well worth the money - Excellent host with comfortable surroundings. Nothing

• Janene (10/5): Lovely, comfortable historic home with a great host. A great value. - Very comfortable home and wonderful host. The location was quiet and in a nice area but downtown is easily accessible by bus. It is a charming historic home and the bed was very comfortable. The host keeps the home very clean and he is extremely thoughtful and kind. Really can’t think of anything.
• Paolo (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect. My bed was incredibly comfortable. I really enjoyed talking with the host Kyle, and I hope to visit him soon.
• Damian (9/5): Friendly helpful host - Great location. - The property is close to the centre of Belfast with a great friendly and informative. We will go back. Nothing
• Robert (10/5): Kyle and his house was a fantastic stay who id fully recommend to anyone visiting Belfast, especially if they’re into ei - Away from the city centre on the quieter part of the city but still within a ten minute drive to the city centre with all the bars, cafes and restaurants locally nearby if you didn’t want to venture into town!
• Wang (10/5): Wanna stay at Belfast forever. - The host is very nice, he has a lovely room. All well, want to come back at next time.
• Antonella (5/5): Completely disappointed on all levels. - The owner is a pleasant person. The property is listed as having a private bathroom, but there is not such a thing. There is only one bathroom in the house(not particularly clean either) that is shared with the owner and the other guests, which in my case were two elderly men. I really was not happy about that and when I mentioned that it was listed as having a private bathroom, I was dismissed. I had booked the large room, but when I arrived it had been given to the other guests (who had booked last minute) as "they arrived before" me (I was a late arrival, but I advised of that ) and I don't think that is an excuse to give me a different room from that showed at the time of booking. It is also listed as offering a continental breakfast, which in reality is tea/coffee and a box of cereal. I am sorry, but I felt ripped off and especially the shared bathroom was a very, very unpleasant surprise. :(
• Frances (10/5): Exceptional - Allgood Everything fine

• Don (9/5): Superb -
• Rachel (8/5): Friendly atmosphere, great location. - Great location, very welcoming host and the room was great value for money. Could have a had a TV in the room.
• Chandrakant (10/5): Good place, good owner, neat, tidy, cooperative and good restaurants nearby. - Kylie gave us a warm welcome. I loved the homely feel of the place. The candles were lit and the warmness was all over the place. The bed was so comfortable that I slept like a puppy. A good vibe. Hoped to be awaken by a fairy and tell me that it's a dream. It didn't happen. Sorry for my take on humour, no negatives about this one.
