Amber Guesthouse - Derby

Units even in the pictures on the internet.

The rooms even in the pictures on the internet.

It took only 5 minutes to walk to Gerard Street bus stop.

Shame the bathroom was very tiny.

I would say it's wonderful base for staying and exploring Derby. The location it offers is convenient, so close to the outskirts of Derby, both the train station and shops, and the center of town. Every time in Derby, I choose this place.

The breakfast offered a nice cooked-to-order full English, fresh tea, and coffee. The family room had mismatched but clean bedding and basic tea and coffee making facilities.

The room felt very dated with old carpets, and there was a significant draft from the window even when closed. The shower was temperamental, occasionally delivering cold water and lacking a plug in the basin. The bathroom door handle needed fixing, and some common areas displayed signs of neglect, like mould on the ceilings. Parking was limited and could be a hassle, requiring guests to balance their vehicles to fit others in.

dated reception area, mismatched furniture, basic tea making facilities

The lack of heating. The bathroom situation was tight with poor shower pressure and basic cleaning needed throughout!!! Staff could improve response time for issues too!!!

The friendly staff really made a difference, and the kids loved the big room to play in. A comfy stay for our large family.

My kids wished the hotel had more family-friendly amenities, like a play area or pool.

The single room was clean and had basic facilities. I loved the location. It was a short walk to shops and takeaways. Felt right at home!

Room stank of cigarette smoke

I had a fantastic stay! The beds were comfortable, and the food was delicious. The price was very reasonable for such a pleasant experience.

Disappointing Experience with Serious Issues

The room was shabby, with stained carpets and an unacceptable bathroom setup. The lack of a proper shower and the presence of mould made it barely livable. If you're looking for a budget option, consider staying elsewhere, especially if you value cleanliness.

This place suits me perfectly! It has free wi-fi in rooms, an electric kettle, and no smoking on site. I remember when the staff helped me with bug spray during my first stay. I highly recommend it for a holiday!

comfortable stay but could improve amenities

The staff greeted us with warmth. Having a sink in our room was a great convenience for quick access to water.

Some shared facilities could benefit from better upkeep.

It included a tv, and the tea and coffee making facilities were very convenient for our family. The staff were friendly and cute.

The shower had poor water pressure.

would definitely return here

The family room was cozy and clean, with a tv and tea and coffee making facilities. The private bathroom had free toiletries, a shower, and was well-equipped. Staff were super friendly and cute. The location was ideal, just a short walk to shops and restaurants.
