Family city break

Good breakfast. Lovely room. Close enough to walk to main attractions if you didn’t want to pay for public transport. Was able to leave luggage and even allowed to keep hold of the key to let ourselves in later that afternoon to collect bags, even though we had checked out. Would stay again.

An ok stay

The guest house is in a good central location, yet on a nice quiet street. I received a nice welcome on my arrival. The room was ok, but A little more care could have been taken in cleaning as there were stray hairs in the bed and couple of bits of rubbish from a previous guest under the bed. A little overpriced for the quality of accommodation, but then this time of year in Edinburgh...most places are!

Welcoming

Ms. Bell is a wonder. She does whatever she can to make you feel at home. The parking in the area is horrid so do not drive a car into Edinburgh. We drove in and since we could not find parking anywhere Ms. Bell was incredible in allowing us to park in her space. Their system of providing yo a hot breakfast in the morning was wonderful. Unfortunately, the weather was warmer and more humid than normal so the room was a bit stifling. And leaving the windows cracked led to noise during the night as the shade banged.

Lovely guest house central location

Stayed for 3 nights in this lovely warm and cosy guest house in a single room. Room was recently redecorated, small yet bright with a great little functional ensuite. Breakfast was very good with a number of different choices. We even had a Easter Egg gift at breakfast on Easter Sunday. Located a couple of blocks from a Main Street with shops and bars/restaurants yet the guest house was incredibly quiet and peaceful. Staff were very pleasant and non-imposing. Would certainly recommend this guest house.

Nice little cozy place

My friend and I stayed at the Amaryllis for 3 nights. The room was really big and clean, breakfast was delicious, staff friendly and helpful. Only little complaints would be that the mattresses were not the comfiest and the window was a bit drafty, but not such a big deal. Would definitely recommend.

The proprietors were lovely, breakfast was excellent (and filling!), the rooms were nice and cozy, and the hotel was located on a few minutes walk from where I needed to be. It's a bit of a hike to get here from the airport, but once there, it's quite easy to get out and into the city. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Decent guest house

Decent guest house. Pros - walkable to city centre, murrayfield or for restaurants and bars, room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast food options were good. Cons - breakfast operated within 45 min window only from 8.30-9.15 which isn't ideal for a weekend lie in. Electric shower in room intermittent with regards to decent pressure and hot water.

Great guest house 20 min walk from the Castle.

Super friendly staff, excellent breakfast! We had to leave before breakfast on our last day, so they packed us a great lunch! Very comfy bed. Shower was a finicky electric thing unlike anything I have ever seen, and I needed help to get it working properly. Would stay there again.

Great B&B

This was a great B & B and location. Our room was very large and comfortable. Our hostess went above and beyond. We were not able to make it to breakfast as we were leaving early to go to the British Open. She offered to leave a lunch when we left very early. She supplied us with sandwiches, chips, apples and cookie. This pretty much saved us as to the length of time it took by train. We were starving and this filled us till way into the day when we got our favorite Fish and Chips at the Open. I would recommend this place 100%. Our second morning we chose from 6 different breakfast cooked to order. This is a gem of a place. Just a note, bring your own shampoo.

Plesent place to stay.

It was a great stay at nice B&B. A wonderful lady took care of us and watched out for us like we were her extended family. The only issue with the room was the shower didn't have very good pressure. Otherwise it was a great stay.

The picture of the Hotel encouraged us to choose it but when we arrived the overpowering smell of cigarette smoke was not nice! This was in our room too.As non smokers it was not appreciated.

Sehr schönes Gästehaus

Der Empfang war herzlich, das Gästehaus war klein und fein. Von dort aus konnte man zu Fuß sehr gut in die Innenstadt kommen. Mir hat es insgesamt sehr gut gefallen. Und ich würde es wieder buchen.
