I stayed here with a friend the weekend just gone (26-27 April) and we both loved it. The location was ideal for us (our trip was to see explore Edinburgh with some other chums based nearby), which was a good start, while the price was I think more than fair for what we got, too. Check in was made a... More

I have only good things to say about the Southside Guest House. Accommodations were lovely, full Scottish breakfast was delicious and Franco and Lynne were helpful with cabs and reuniting us with an item we left behind. Location is a 10 minute walk from the main tourist attractions, but convenient to Arthur's Seat, to many South Indian restaurants (one of... More

We stayed there for a week in March 2013. Room was great, breakfast was great and the people were great. Edinburgh weather was as expected ;) The BB is just by a bus stop so it's easy to travel around. I highly recommend it. Two little Icelanders.

We stayed at Southside Guest House for 2 nights in September and it was exactly what we were after. It was a unique guest house with lots of character. Franco made us feel very welcome and gave us lots of information about Edinbugh that was very useful. The room was lovely and had lovely views over Edinburgh. Being a guest... More

Everything was perfect from start to finish. Our hosts were charming and welcoming. The room was fitted with everything we needed from a magnifying mirror to lush linens on the bed and in the bath. The soaps were luxurious, there was water and tea and coffee service in the room. Our hosts thought of everything. Breakfasts were delicious with a... More

Elegant and extremely comfortable and a fab breakfast. Easy to find and a variety of restaurants within walking distance and a good traditional pub just around the corner. On a bus route, so very easy to get to Princes St., if you don't want to walk. Franco made us most welcome and kindly allowed us to keep our parking space,... More

We stayed in Room 8. Very spacious. Excellent breakfast. Franco (our host) was extremely helpful and gracious. Convenient to restaurants and sights. Right on the bus line. We would absolutely stay there again.

Our three days at Southside Guest House were extremely comfortable. The house is beautifully presented with lovely artworks in every room. Although it is is on a busy road, it is absolutely quiet inside. The hosts, Franco and Lynne, are a delightful couple who could not be more helpful. Breakfasts cooked by Lynne were a special treat - how many... More

The Southside Guest House is on the fringes of Edinburgh Town Centre and easily accesiibly by bus or by foot. From Waverley Station is approximately a 20 minute walk. The self check-in is very convenient and easy to understand and the house is very clean and charming. We had a room on the top floor which was peaceful and tastefully... More

Spent one night here during the Festival. I found it by accident and am so glad I did as this is one of the best B & Bs I have ever stayed in. We could not have been made more welcome. The room and bed were super comfortable and breakfast was wonderful. My only regret is that I did not... More
