Southside Guest House

It's a great location - tons of restaurants and bars nearby, lots of buses to get around the city or a short 20 min walk from the city center. Very safe. The shower had good water pressure and the hotel and surrounding area were quiet. The room was clean. The beds were incredibly uncomfortable, the room needs a fan as theres no AC, and a few shelves and a box of tissues would go a long way. We were also supposed to be able to check in at 2 pm but the room wasnt ready until 3 pm (and only then because we were getting impatient). They will hold your bags while you wait. This place would be fine for a night or two, but not very comfortable for 5 nights.

We stayed at this Guesthouse on 2 separate nights. We were able to check in early and staff were very polite and considerate. Beautiful old property just needs a little refresh.

Good: handy location, spacious room and spotlessly clean. Staff member I saw was very friendly and helpful Bad: slightly shabby decor in places. Also expensive but that seems to be the norm for Edinburgh - definitely pricier than previous visits to the city.

We only stayed one night in a small double room at this property, but the room was quite adequate and the bathroom was especially wonderful--great shower, good lighting, recently remodeled. It is also located in a nice neighborhood, with several good restaurants and coffee shops close-by, and a reasonable walk (about a mile) to the Royal Mile.

This reresents excellent valuw. Rooms was very clean, all the facilities you would need. No need to pay double the price for something probably not as good. Will definitely book again next time I visit Edinburgh.

Useful location but on arrival no one there and had to call to get access. Not very welcoming. High degree of utility. Nice artworks. Didn’t see any staff at all when I left so went on my way leaving the key as indicated in a glass jar

Comfortable room, but we had a room at the front of the building and lots of traffic noise.

Affordable, easy walk to city centre, great restaurants nearby.

Lovely comfortable, spacious room. Lots of really great coffee spots nearby and some amazing food options without the tourist tax of the city centre. I will definitely stay again next time we're up.

Clean comfortable spacious guest house in a lovely area, within walking distance of Arthur's Seat and the University

A very convenient place close to the attractions. The place needs a bit of renovation but is located in a good area. Can use some comfortable mattresses as the current ones are not good and the bathroom fan was too loud.

Very comfortable

Got takin care of

The best thing was the area, several good eating spots and was convenient for the university where I was at a conference, however I would not choose to stay here again, I felt it was very overpriced for what it was. I was in a small single room which felt very dated and a bit shabby. One out of three mornings I had no hot water

This property was great. The location made a lot of things accessible. The room was really clean and cozy. No complaints.

Beautiful old building. Local neighborhood feel. Great porridge. Hot showers. Very clean and modern bathroom. Our room was at the back and so very quiet. Restaurants to walk to. Owners were very pleasant and helpful. Easy to get to city center via bus. Enjoyed our stay.

Very pleasant!

Management responded instantly so I believe they are very invested in their customers. I think the bed mattress should be upgraded. The bathroom floor in our room was a bit water logged and grout needed to be cleaned. I do think this is a safe hotel with a good rate per night.

Room was clean and spacious, stuff were extra nice and helpfull beyond expectation.

The lady in charge was friendly and helpful. There was only Continental breakfast available, and that was limited and cost extra. I booked here because my usual guest house was not available, paid quite a bit more for a top floor room with sloping roof and very small window.
