My husband and I found Amaryllis Guest House to be exactly what we wanted: clean, comfortable, affordable, and with a friendly staff. We had a double ensuite room that served our needs perfectly. Every day we walked to the city center, which isn't far off, and enjoyed the sights of Edinburgh. On the day we left, our host was particularly... More

We stayed for 2 nights in October 2011 and found a correct value for money. Our room was on the top floor, clean and big enough for the average B&B but the bathroom was very small. Breakfast was OK but nothing more. The place is close to the centre (both Princess Street and Royal old mile) and very well served... More

It was below-average among economy-priced places. Like most economy-priced places, the bed is not comfortable. But unlike the other ones I was at, little effort was put into the breakfasts (no fruit or granola with the cereal, packaged jams). You are also given only a 1/2 hour window in which to have breakfast. Owners will do nothing extra for you... More

This review is so unfair. We go out of our way to treat guests with respect and good hospitality.We have always accommodated guests if they require an early breakfast ( within reason of course) and we make up packed lunches if guests are leaving early and miss breakfast. I really do not know sometimes what people expect for such a... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a great time. We could see the Edinburgh castle form our room, so that was quite brilliant. The staff was friendly and the breakfast really good. There's some kind of a menu where you can choose (English Breakfast, Continental, Yoghurt and fruit etc.) The room was clean and spacious, with a small... More

I have found the adress in Lonely Planet and booked Amaryllis for the one night we were in Edinburgh. It is an ok place to stay. The rooms were clean, the guest house itself is located 15-20 minutes away by foot from the central area. This option is good value for money, but do not expect anything extra. For instance,... More

I've stayed at the Amaryllis on several occasions and couldn't be made more welcome! The owners are like old friends and could not be more accommodating. The rooms are spacious, immaculately clean and cosy, having stayed in several of them. It is centrally placed, close to restaurants, night life and all the main sightseeing attractions, most of which are in... More

Our usual guest house was fully booked so after reading some reviews on this one we decided we couldn't go wrong. How wrong we were, the rooms were just adequate, the breakfast area cramped but not as cramped as the bathroom!! In the bathroom it was a tight squeeze between the toilet and wash basin! The food was terrible so... More

I cannot understand this review and looking through our sign in book am unable to recognise this listing. One only has to look at previous reviews especially about breakfast to see this is just some malicious individual. Interesting that no report of any of this disatisfaction was mentioned to any member of staff. Sorry I cannot apologise to you as... More
