Highly recommended! We stayed here over 10 years ago as part of a tour of Ireland. At that time there were two cute dogs.
Lovely host, free use of kitchen (well stocked food and equipment), use of lounge. But shared bathrooms on middle floor. Top floor not suitable if you need toilet overnight. Well placed, excellent local amenities and access to city centre.
I stayed there for 2 nights with my wife and 2 years old boy, and that was the worst hotel we've been to.. the room was dirty, smelling of cigarettes, and very cold. My wife asked the landlord to put on the heater and she turned it on for less than hour which is not enough to warm up the room. The kitchen is very dirty full of dust and dog hair. Don't rent this unless you cant find something else.
This was the perfect place to stay in Belfast for myself and my boyfriend. We are in our early twenties, and stayed in Belfast over-night to see friends. Shared Bathroom, but a whole kitchen to serve ourselves breakfast, tea/coffee or even dinner. The rooms, bathroom, lounge and Kitchen where all fully equiped and extremely clean. The owner was extremely helpful and kind. Namaste House is very reasonable in price, and only £4 pound taxi, £2 bus into town or a 20-30 min walk (which we didnt mind!). There are also a ton of restaurants, a tesco and many off-licences right by the accommodation. We will most certainly stay here again. Would suggest it is not suitable for anyone highly allergic to animals, as there are three (beautiful) dogs in the private residence.
My friend and I visited Belfast for the first time. We came for a concert and hoped to get to know the city as well. Namaste Lodge lies in a quiet part of the city, nearby is a park, some nice restaurants and also a great bakery, where Paula gets bread for the guests as well. It is easy to go into town by bus or taxi, both are affordable. Namaste Lodge is also the home of 3 dogs, who are sweet and hospitable, they even allowed us to come to a walk on the beach with Paula, we had fun and Peppy later shared his due to chewing slowly desintegrating tennis bal with us, inviting us to play with him. Paula also booked a tour to the Giant causeway for us, and took us to a lovely lunch concert in The Black Box, and she shared lots of information with us about the city, which was very helpful and gave us many options. Thanks for all that, Paula! Highly recommended for a great time in Belfast.
I lived at Namaste Lodge for a few months, I even extended my stay. The house is fully furnished, nice kitchen, two bathrooms, I love the ethnic decor. The rooms are rather spacious and comfortable. The land-lady is welcoming, very helpful, excellent cook, she has many stories about her trips, she's a good dinner companion if you wish one. The surroundings are great too: quiet but close to various shops (butcher, vegetable etc.), restaurants, cafés and pubs. There's a lovely park for walks. It's a 15-minute walk to get to city centre but there's a regular bus line as well. In other words, I had a very good time in Namaste Lodge, the land-lady became a dear friend (thanks for everything) and I was very saddened to leave.
What a lovely place to stay.. its not straight in city centre, so one it's not disturbed by loud pass-byers and break squealing traffic, but its also very handy. All buses of service 7 take you to centre in 5 minutes every 5 minute interval.. otherwise it's 15m walk.. there is many multicultural restaurants in the hood of considerable high quality, but won't break your wallet.. there is nicest park in city 200 yards away. Overall nicest accommodation on this side of Christmas, it's definitely in my top 5 B&B's.. can't forget to mention landlady.. what a awesome cook.. academic, metropolitan, excellent taste in cultural events.. thank you Paula, it was most pleasant two weeks stay in Belfast ever..
