Opiniones de los huéspedes

La casa de huéspedes Southside ofrece una base cómoda en un barrio agradable, con muchas opiniones destacando habitaciones limpias y confortables y unos anfitriones amables y serviciales, además de buenas conexiones de autobús y fácil acceso a pie a restaurantes y al casco antiguo.

Entre los inconvenientes más comunes se incluyen una decoración anticuada, problemas de mantenimiento ocasionales y el ruido del tráfico en las habitaciones que dan a la calle. La presencia de personal es inconsistente; varios huéspedes llegaron a un registro de entrada sin personal o vieron poco personal durante su estancia, mientras que otros informaron de respuestas rápidas y ayuda atenta. El aparcamiento puede ser difícil y no hay ascensor para acceder a los pisos superiores. En general, se trata de una casa de huéspedes sencilla y con una buena relación calidad-precio, con comodidades básicas y un acabado variable.

Had a one night stay, I called ahead as we had some queries and one of the hosts name Roy was very informative and happy to help, we stayed in one of the queen rooms on the ground floor room 8. Was very clean and comfortable. The only thing we found was the toilet flush effects the shower temp, the shower itself was very good. Don't know about breakfast as we didn't have any but it is available. 10/10 would highly recommend and will most definitely revisit.

Where too begin, our room located ground floor. The door bell constantly rang, the bell must of been located outside our door. First morning, fire alarm goes off at 0630brs nil brigade called. Smoke seen in the basement area, shower steam blamed for the alarm. Mattress was like blanks of wood, pillows thin. Property is in a good location, so you are paying money for this area. Also messaged the property the day of check in to ask if I could leave luggage there before 2pm, still no response.

We had a great stay. Very comfortable. sunny room an easy walk into the old city and to the university. Easy in and out. We didn’t see the manager at all from the time we arrived until we left but we didn’t really need him either. The only down side was the stairs (no elevator) to the room. Otherwise, highly recommend!

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

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.

It was a pleasant stay. Located on a busy road but luckily my room was facing the back of the hotel so it was nice and quiet. There were no reception staff after 6pm but check in instructions were sent to me which was straight forward. The kettle was not in a good condition, I didn’t use it. There was no heating in the room but I was provided with a small portable electric heater which did the job. It would struggle to heat up the room in winter months especially December onwards. There are few good restaurants nearby.

After walking from the train station (about an 30 minute walk), we were greeted with a note stuck on the door that said nobody was there to serve us. Thatvif we were guests with reservations (which we were) to call the number on the note. Neither number worked. After about 15 minutes of trying to figure it out amd wondering what to do, the manager arrived and seemed surprised to see us. We got our keys and went up the 3 flights of winding stairs that didn't look very sturdy and made it to our room. The bed was super firm. Bathroom was very clean. Floors were not in good condition.

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.

Habitaciones

Muchos describen las habitaciones como cómodas y a menudo espaciosas, pero la decoración suele ser anticuada y aparecen algunos problemas de mantenimiento (por ejemplo, persianas o sofás rotos, ventilador de baño ruidoso, fluctuaciones de temperatura en la fontanería). El ruido varía según la ubicación de la habitación y algunos colchones se sentían demasiado firmes o necesitaban ser reemplazados.

The host was accomodating/ lovely. I.e., accepting a postal delivery prior to my arrival, help booking a taxi and with my bags. The building historical and majestic. My room had all I needed. Thank-you. Constructive feedback, room needs updating. I.e., decor, stains on carpet, shower door not fully closing, min ventilation. Hotel is on a main busy road and you could hear traffic late/ early.

Initially disappointed by the tired decor, broken blind and sofa, photos not truthful and concerned on finding negative reviews saying the same ( I’d only seen positive on booking). It was expensive and given too many stars. However I realised Edinburgh is expensive and over priced like London and actually we ended up having a lovely stay. I prefer character to modern. It was quiet even at the front we used shutters to reduce noise, bed comfortable ( new mattress possibly), warm , clean , everything worked well (except a blind and sofa) , breakfast was lovely and reasonable and owner was very helpful and responded quickly by text. We would stay again but not at the price advertised. It was very convenient for getting many different buses and not far by taxi from station. Shops and restaurants close by.

it was a short stay at the Southside Guest House but it was very nice. It is a small boutique hotel with 8 rooms. The building is over 100 years old and my room is spacious, clean and with modern amenities. My room has a 4 post bed and through French windows, opens onto a private garden. I wish I were staying longer to take advantage of it. The hotel is also very convenient. Several buses run in front of the hotel both ways. So going to Old town and coming back is easy. Also very walkable. In the neighbourhood there are many restaurants, surprising amount of Asian restaurants and stores as well. The hotel offers breakfast at a low price. It has a self served cereal juice bar and also a plate of egg and sausage and bacon is included in the price. Haggis is also available together with breakfast. Staff is very friendly. I recommend this place and will visit again when I am in Edinburgh
