Southside Guest House  

The best bed and breakfast I have ever stayed in.

Very comfortable room - ideally placed for University and only short distance into town centre. Lovely breakfast (with Bucks Fizz on Sunday morning !!). Franco was very attentive and couldn't be faulted. We would have no hesitation about returning again.

It is situated on a very busy road, If you are unlucky to have a room at the front of the house you may well have a very disturbed nights sleep. I stayed in a single room at the front of the house and when the window was open I was unable to sleep due to the noise of passing traffic. On both evenings I was very aware of a very unplesant odour in the room.

Nice hosts, lots of attention to details, location walkable to city centre.

Warm welcome and a great attention to detail. Excellent breakfast.

Single room was rather small, but comfortable.

The building and our room were both absolutely beautiful. The hosts were helpful, attentive, and charming. The breakfast was excellent as well.

Bed was a bit creaky. Also, the location was less than ideal -- the walk between the hotel and the downtown area was not too long, but the neighborhood you walk through was a bit dodgy. Lots of cheap take-away restaurants and discount stores. Highly recommend you take the bus or taxis, and skip the walk. It was not so bad that I would not return, just get a bus pass and head straight downtown.

Southside was a class a part from other B&B's I have stayed in around Edinburgh. The location for the centre was excellent, the hotel was beautifully kept with a "leave you alone" culture and atmosphere. The breakfasts were excellent and the rooms spacious with character making you feel relaxed and at home. The facility of a dedicated carpark space was helpful if you were able to book it. The lack of parking facilities would otherwise be a minor niggle. Overall: Highly recommend and I shall be visiting again.

The room and facilities were great and the location was perfect. We ate at a couple of restaurants just across the road, and the food was lovely. Franco was the perfect host, and he even gave us a basket of food the night before as we had to be up early to go to the airport.

Very comfortable guest house to live in with a set of keys for door entry to come and go as you like. Lovely breakfast and very nice host.

The owner, Franco, was very welcoming and helpful. The room was lovely and breakfast superb. Would definitely go back.

Very nice breakfast, beautyful house, many details make the stay much better than in most other hotels

Franco and Lynne were superb hosts. The location of the guest house is in a central location, perfect for sightseeing. Attention to detail was evident and welcomed. For example, breakfast was varied and tasty. Bucks fizz was also on offer which was a pleasant surprise. The rooms are big, warm and stylishly furnished. The toiletries are of a high quality as with the varied teas, coffee, biscuits and bottled water in the room. The bed was very comfortable and late night check-in was no problem. We had an early check-out the following morning and Lynne and Franco prepared a breakfast package for us to eat in our rooms or take to the airport. Edinburgh itself is interesting and lively so overall - a great experience.

Gorgeous hotel, excellent service, excellent breakfasts, made us feel very welcome
