5.0 / 5 5.0 / 5 Michael [Malvern, GB] on 21/02/2008 (Young couple)

The room was excellent, the location was great for a base to walk and tour Edinburgh, the breakfast was great and last but not least the hosts Franco and Lynne we very friendly and helpfull.

Overall: The standard of accomodation is excellent as is the location. It is on a mian road, however this proved not to cause any issues. I would thoroughly recommend staying at Southside.  (97205048)

4.7 / 5 4.7 / 5 katy [Carlisle, GB] on 06/06/2007 (Young couple)

Lovely room, very clean and well presented, comfy bed, brilliant shower.

Nothing really, if i had to say something it would be that the road was a little noisy, but everything else MORE than made up for that.

Overall: The guest house is lovely, really well decorated and looked after and the people are extremely friendly and very helpful. They helped us with parking and recommended a wonderful place to eat. The room was gorgeous nd spacious with plenty of room to put things, a huge wardrobe and a very nice en suite with a fantastic power shower (remember to close the shower door before turning the shower on - i soaked the bathroom). Toiletries were good quality, not the silly little minitures you sometimes get and the guest information was very informative. There were plenty of restaurants and bars around within easy walking and the centre of Edinburgh is also within walking distance. Last but certainly not least - breakfast. It was soooo nice. It was one of the things from other reviews that helped me choose this guesthouse and it didn't disapoint. I wil definately be coming back and hopefully will spend a bit more time here next time.  (99484432)

4.7 / 5 4.7 / 5 David [Singapore, SG] on 23/05/2007 (Solo leisure traveller)

Place is very homely. Breakfast is excellent. Service is superb

There is no life in the guest house and I was given the third floor.

4.1 / 5 4.1 / 5 Cato [Hønefoss, NO] on 14/05/2007 (Young couple)

It felt like at home. Personal and quiet.

Some noise from traffic.

Overall: The breakfast was very good. Have enough time to spend here!  (99875806)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
