The building is beautiful and it's far enough out of the centre to be quiet but close enough to walk in. When I arrived there was no one there to check in, so I had to call someone, that won't be great for people traveling from abroad who might not have access to their phones. Room was beautiful, light are airy, if not a little small

Roy was a good host. He helped us carry our luggage up to our room as soon as we arrived, and recommended some nearby places to eat. The room was spacious with a modern bathroom. We chose hot breakfast dishes from the menu in the breakfast room and they were very well cooked and delicious.

This place needs to be completely updated and get new mattresses! While the host was very friendly, helpful and very nice, language was a barrier. The location is great with good restaurants and bars close by. However, the two rooms we rented, with "four poster" double beds, were run down, tired and worn looking with the worst mattresses of our trip or any trip in memory! You constantly felt like you were falling out of bed! So our sleep was poor and that is a problem when you're walking miles per day seeing the sights! This was wearing after several nights. The sheets were clean and the bathroom was clean with a great shower. The rugs were stretched and a bit sketchy. With some serious updates of furniture, the mattresses being the priority, and new bedframes - they wobbled terribly, this place would be a great place!

What a lovely guest house this is! We were driving down from Aberdeen for a concert in Edinburgh, and we arrived after reception closed due to traffic jams. The guest house contacted us and gave instructions on how to get into our room. The guest house was lovely. Our room was really nice. The whole place was so clean. Breakfast in the morning was excellent and well cooked, and it was very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend this lovely guest house

Unfortunately, we didn't have such a good experience with the Southside Guesthouse. We booked this hotel based on the very good reviews and great pictures. We arrived late at the hotel and there was a mountain of rubble piled up in front of the house. This didn't bother us at first and since no one was there to greet us, we got the key through the door safe. This was a positive at first. The staircase was very beautiful and tastefully decorated. However, compared to the other reviews, it seems that we got a room with a niche on the first floor. The carpet was very dirty, the curtains tore the room apart, it was incredibly small, you could hardly turn around in the bathroom, the stucco was crumbling from the ceiling above the bed and the joints of the shower in the bathroom were moldy. And all this for more than €500 for 3 nights!!!! We immediately contacted the organizer and refused to stay in this room, they couldn't give us another one but offered us a free cancellation. But since it was already the middle of the night, we had to stay in this room and moved out immediately the next morning and moved into a great hotel for the same price (Hollyrood Apartment Hotel on the Royal Mile), where we will stay again in 2 months.

A very odd check in experience - received a text with the code to the key lockbox. But no keys inside and a note on the door with a mobile number to call. I did get the key to the room - which was not at all clean. Dusty with a large brown stain on the carpet near the bathroom. The lock on the room door was a poor yale lock and having sat in the restaurant opposite and observed people coming and leaving the main door open and others just wandering in I decided not to stay there. It was probably a nice place once. But it now needs a decent clean and a refurb. And some owners who meet and greet guests. For the same price you can stay in the Premier Inn.
