Location was spot on for my needs. It is close to the centre for meals out. Also the B&B is close to my true destination. A little pricey for a solo traveller.

Excellent staff, welcoming and friendly, very obliging, they helped us a lot during all our stay. Good breakfast. The place is nice, typical and so are the bedrooms. The bed are comfortable. I recommend that hotel. The bathrooms also are typical : no mixing valve for the tap. The showers are not good quality. The heating system of the bedrooms is not very efficient but we have very good bedcovers.

the room was spacious, clean and warm. The staff were very helpful and the cooked breakfasts delicious. Southbank was value for money and well situated only yards from the city centre. I would recommend this guesthouse to anyone that was going to Elgin.

Very pleasant stay, just one wee observation , the tea cups in the room are very small and a bit awkward for making tea with a teabag, mugs would be more appropriate In our room there was a green light on all night which was quite annoying, this light I assume was for fire regulations , however it could keep some people awake
