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

May 2, 2008

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

I was looking forward to my stay at the Southside Guest House. My son is at University in Edinburgh, and the #1 (at the time) B&B according to TripAdvisor was the closest one to his apartment. How could I go wrong? The good things first: great location - close enough to walk to the middle of town, restaurants close by,... more

We had a lovely stay at the Southside. It looked plain and unassuming from outside but once you enter the hallway you realise what a special place this is. We were in the Mackintosh room which was very welcoming. Lovely stripped floorboards, four poster bed, DVD player and wi fi access. There was a book and DVD library on the... more

We stayed for 2 nights in Southside in the 4 poster suite room. The room was clean, tastefully and artisically decorated in William Morris style with every attention to neccessary detail such as mineral water, and tolietries, dvd player, and free wireless access, but without being decadent or over the top. The guest house itself is small, peaceful, in a... more
