Amber Guesthouse is a modest, smoke-free hotel located in a residential area of Derby, approximately a 13-minute walk from the city centre's shops and restaurants. Its proximity to Derby railway station (less than 1 mile away) and local attractions such as Pride Park makes it a practical choice for visitors seeking straightforward accommodation within easy reach of the city’s main points of interest.
The property offers laid-back rooms equipped with TVs, alongside complimentary Wi-Fi and a full English breakfast. While facilities are basic, the guesthouse provides a budget-friendly option for travellers who prefer simple lodgings without on-site dining or leisure amenities like a pool or fitness centre. Guests are advised to bring their own toiletries, according to some reviews.
Guest feedback is mixed, with some praising the welcoming and considerate service, particularly from the owner and staff, and the clean, well-maintained rooms. However, a few reviews note that the accommodation could benefit from some updates and enhancements. Overall, it suits visitors seeking affordable overnight stays rather than extended comfort or luxury.

Cheap b&b bit down at heel, breakfast thrown in, OK for one night of just sleeping. Bring toiletries!
Great guest house could use bit If paint but I would return.
Nice and fatherly man...Mr Malik, considerate and welcome. Will surely stay here again
Me and my partner ALWAYS stay here, even though we only live 5 minutes away. Whenever we just want to have a few nights away we come here, we're ALWAYS made to feel very welcome and THE OWNER and ALL HIS STAFF ARE ALWAYS VERY HAPPY AND VERY POLITE. It's close to the city centre and all other amenities you could want and need. THANK YOU AGAIN MR MALICK.
The service I received was great from the moment I stepped into the door to the moment I left. A very personal welcome, would highly recommend to friends and family.
I always use this guest as it is situated in a very convenient area . The rooms are very clean and well maintained . The price is very competitive and the staff are always friendly and welcoming . Will definitely recommend !!
Közös wc, közös fürdőszoba. A szobát inkább "luk"nak hívnám, de valamiért tetszett. Otthonosan éreztem magam benne!
