Southside Guest House

Friendly staff, great breakfast, location, warm in the room.

The room i booked is very clean and warm. Everything you need is provided. The location is only about 15 minutes to the shops in New Town. Very accessible to bus stops. And there’s a cafe just across the house. Roy is also very nice and accommodating.

My partner and I stayed for a one night visit. We stayed in the large double room and it was lovely, cosy and warm (even without the heating on). We could barely hear other guests in their rooms, only in the corridors. Shower pressure was great and bed was super comfortable. Loved the fact you can log into your Netflix as well. The staff member we bumped into was nice & smiley too.

The lovely room with sloped ceiling (No.7) had everything I needed in a minimalist way, which I liked, but was still cosy. I liked the brochure which was clear and concise and also gave the history of the house which I loved. Roy was attentive and helpful without being intrusive. Bed was comfy and I loved the green blanket with the satin trim. House was quiet and peaceful. Bathroom was modern with good shower and sparkling clean. I didn't have a cooked breakfast, just cereal as don't normally eat much in the morning but service was excellent and choice on menu very good.

The host was very responsive and nice. The room was perfect, nicely decorated and cosy, we would definitely be back. We had someone replacing the towels and replenishing the tea and coffee tray every day, which was really nice. The house was older, which gave it such a cool vibe and had wonderful details, but the facilities were all modern. I was a bit skeptical after reading some of the negative reviews here, but I'm glad I didn't take them into account, because it has been a really wonderful stay.
