I went to Edinburgh to visit my daughter who is doing her jr. semester at college at U of Edinburgh and asked for a recommendation of a good place to stay nearby from a professor there. Thankfully they gave me the Southside Guesthouse's name and as soon as I wrote, I began having a great experience as the owners, Franco... more

Southside is a large Victorian house situated on a fairly busy road about a mile from the centre of the city. The interior is tastefully decorated, in good condition and in keeping with the style of the building. The interior was pleasantly warm during a cold wet spell when we stayed. Our bedroom was typical of a large bedroom associated... more

Stayed here for the bank holiday weekend whilst visting the Fringe festival. As soon as you walk in the front door, you know you are in no ordinary B&B or guesthouse. The attention to detail in the decor and the fact that everything looks brand new - and this is only the communal areas. The double room we had was... more

As it was my wife and I's 1st wedding anniversary we wanted to go somewhere special and we can both say Southside is special! Perfect for a weekend or a week (we stayed a week and loved it), suitable for couples young or old looking for a lush, peaceful environment (there are only 8 rooms I think) with which to... more

Having just read some of the recent reviews about this exceptional Guest House, I can say with hand on heart that they accurately describe what Southside is all about. We have just had three days there and wish we could have stayed longer. Lynn and Franco are exceptional hosts giving you the confidence that nothing will be a problem. The... more

Very easily accessible, Bright and pleasant with lots of art adorning walls. Excellent breakfast and coffee, served by the charming Franco. Tea, cofee and hot chocolate in room, good quality. Room was comfortable and even though on the main road not much noise. On the whole a very nice place to stay more

Everything was excellent at this small peaceful guest house (only 8 rooms): room, cleanliness, breakfast, service, location (5- 10 minutes walking from the old town or any bus outside the guest house, too easy). Note: if you want to sleep until late, don't prefer the room on ground floor, because it's next to the reception/entrance. Thank you Franco and Lynne... more

Booked this B&B as I loved the deluxe rooms, and wanted something a bit special. Lynne and Franco are a very nice, helpful couple, and the place has a warm, friendly ambience to it. We stayed in the Mackintosh room which we discovered was at the front of the house overlooking the busy main road. The room was lovely, spacious... more

Lovely place, great location, terrific hosts, excellent breakfasts. Next time I'm in Edinburgh the competition won't get a look in. more

My brother and I stayed at Southside Guest House for 3 nights during our Easter holidays and loved every minute of our stay. We read reviews for dozens of B&Bs on the Trip Advisor website before choosing Southside. We knew we wanted to stay somewhere clean, with easy access to the city centre and that served a delicious breakfast. Southside... more
