Reviews of Amherst Guesthouse

missingWrote a review on 12 Dec
The room I stayed in was incredibly clean and had useful amenities like a mini fridge and microwave, which made snacking a breeze. The complimentary crisps and biscuits were a nice, personal touch that added to the cozy feel of the place.
The noise from the nearby road was noticeable at times, especially if you needed to sleep with the windows open. While they did provide earplugs, I wished for better double glazing to block it out completely. I found that the curtain didn't completely block out the light, which was less than ideal for daytime sleep. there was a faint smell from the bathroom in the Small Double Room, and the toilet had some flushing issues that could use addressing.

If you're into local bites, don’t miss Harput Kebab and Burger just 0.5 km away, where the kebabs are a true feast! Plus, the room had a fab mini-fridge and microwave, perfect for those late-night snack runs. I found the complimentary biscuits a delightful touch.
The start was a bit wobbly with a cold room and an owner who had me feeling a tad uneasy with the door-locking demonstration.

I stayed for 2 nights in a Small Double Room. The room was comfy with thoughtful arrangements—clean and had a mini fridge and microwave that were super helpful. The toiletries were great, keeping everything tidy. Check-in was a breeze, and the complimentary crisps and biscuits were a nice touch. Definitely a cozy spot to recharge!

Cozy vibes and helpful host!
I stayed here for almost 2 months, and it felt like home. The room had a mini fridge and a kettle, so meal prep was easy. Nicolai is super chill and helped me out with any needs. Just wished there were a few more snack options in the room, but other than that, it was all good!

great stay with minor room for improvement
I stayed for nearly 28 nights, and the overall experience was superb. Nicolai ensured all my needs were met, making me feel valued as a guest. The room was spacious, exceptionally clean, and equipped with a mini fridge, microwave, and an electric kettle that made enjoying meals in my room a breeze. It’s great how they provide sugar, coffee, and courtesy cookies upon arrival! Another highlight was having the option to use the laundry facilities for a small fee, which was a lifesaver during my extended stay.
There could be more variety in snack options provided in the room.
