Zornitsa 10.0

Everything was great – the room was very clean and cozy, with warm water, fruits, tea, coffee, and bottled water available. It was warm inside, and the atmosphere was really charming. The location is also convenient – about a 20-minute walk to the city center at a moderate pace

Vivian 10.0

This property is a Georgian townhouse with a lovely foyer and a beautiful balustraded staircase leading up to the second and third stories. It has all modern updates that don't take away from the charm of the historic home. It is also impeccably clean and has a warm home feel. It is very private with no traffic noise. Mine was a cozy single room with en-suite and a great shower with a wall-mounted flat-screen television. I had a view of the lovely small back garden planted with hydrangea bushes. Cathy and Lynn were very welcoming and incredibly helpful with main attraction locations, including a city map and the buses and routes available. Cathy ordered a taxi for me to arrive at 6:15 AM on the morning of my departure, ensuring I would make my early morning flight. Uber is not reliable. Although it does not offer breakfast, it provides a kettle so you can serve yourself with a nice hot cup of cofee or tea anytime along with some fresh fruit and biscuits. I look forward to staying with them again and highly recommend Amaryllis Guest House to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

The owners were really nice and helpful. They gave us a map and explained how to get around the city. They also contacted me because they may be traffic jams on our way to the house due to the Oasis concert taking place that day. It's a very nice and quiet place.

Jayne 9.0

Great location - quiet yet near the bus route. Clean and comfortable. Very helpful and friendly host who was flexible about our arrival when Storm Floris changed our plans

Malinsche 8.0

Jeanne 10.0

Cathy was a huge help with helping us find places, like a laundromat, calling ahead to enquire about services. She helped us find buses to take us where we were going. She recommended cafes in the area, offered to call a taxi for us. She’s an excellent host! Oh, she also found a store where we could find new trekking poles. Thank you, Cathy! The photo is of the lovely front garden.

Marta 10.0

It was very close to the city and at the same time so quiet, that I slept with an open window. I truly loved it and would come back.

Barbara 9.0

Room was lovely, comfortable, quiet, and fairly close to everything.

Emma 9.0

A really central location. The owners were incredibly helpful and attentive, showed us a number of places close by for breakfast, and provided a map of the city to demonstrate how to access local attractions - its a 20 minute stroll to Edinburgh Castle. The room was clean, spacious and well equipped. The bed was very comfortable and the property was very quiet.

Chad 10.0

Great location. Close enough for a long walk, or quick Uber. But far enough away to it be bothered by late night crowds.

Tracy 10.0

The guest house was in a great location. Quiet & a 10/15 minute walk to the top of the royal mile (Edinburgh Castle) & close to cafe's & restaurants. There are two bus routes that go to the city centre very close to the accommodation if walking doesn't suit. The house itself was styled lovely (to my taste) was bright & comfortable and the room was spacious with an adequately sized en-suite (great shower) The owners themselves were very friendly & accommodating. Will definitaly look to book again when in Edinburgh if available.

Location, cleanliness, friendly staff

Aušra 10.0

A great location, close to the city center and the old town. Most of the main attractions are within walking distance. The room was clean and well-kept. The host was very helpful and attentive—we truly appreciate that.

Jane 8.0

Lovely old house . Cathy was very helpful and responded quickly by email to my queries. The Room was comfortable .

Bert 10.0

A big room with a nice and clean bathroom. Even though it is in the city, there is no noise in the room, so we were able to listen to the birds while waking up. Easy to reach by bus from the city centre and a great vegan Italian place close by.
