Staying at Pillars House was like home from home. So comfortable and clean. We didn't have breakfast, but we could have helped ourselves to toast, jams, fruit, etc.... which looked lovely. The location was perfect - such a lovely area - will definitely stay there again.

The room was exactly as it looked in the pictures. Very clean, and great conditions. Also, we had breakfast included and it was fantastic! The staff was also very, very kind. The only bad thing, was that when we got there, the room smelled a bit like cigarettes, but after some hours of the window open, it was fine. But definitely I would a 100% recommend this place!

Anthony & staff were very helpful. This property used to be a B & B, but I assume "C" may have changed their marketing. WE stayed in the old/front part - they have numerous types of rooms, on several levels. The property is walking distance to all of your wants/needs & about a 20 - 30 minute walk to Brittania & historic downtown. Their kitchen appeared to offer every type of cooking option & the tram system stop was a 2 minute walk, at most. NOT 5 star, but great location, comfort & staff. - SPA007

Everything we needed was covered. The staff were very friendly, the room was comfy and well equipped. The en-suit was spotless, and the use of a kitchen downstairs was ideal. There was no shortage of complimentary snacks and drinks. Check in and check out was swift, and having parking on location was ideal. It was well connected to Edinburgh, with a tram stop near by, and plenty of local amenities. Would absolutely stay here again!

I was really impressed by the level of communication from the Pillars.
We had booked the room some 5 months earlier to see the military tattoo.
Upon arrival, we were met by Craig, who went to great lengths to point out ways by which we could get the most of our trip to Edinburgh; eateries, pubs, clubs, etc.
The room was lovely, comfy beds and lots of perks like a fridge in the room, biscuits, tea, coffee, croissants, water and other delights.
The kitchen was well equipped and had yoghurt, muffins, fruit, etc, as well as water, ice and a huge fridge.
There's a Tesco in easy walkibg distance and the hotel is directly on the Lieth/Airport tram route, with the tram stop being about a 4 minute walk away.
Comfy, quirky, and convenient.

Lovely stay at the Pillars. Very friendly and informative. Use of the kitchen was very convenient, thanks. Comfy beds, slept like a log. Two minute walk from the tram stop.

Perfect location for the event we travelled for, tram stop into city is just outside. Room was clean and comfortable for our one night stay. Check in was easy, host was friendly and helpful. Provided us with water, croissant and the famous Irn Bru in the room. Would definitely stay again if have any other events in Edinburgh.

The property is located in a nice area, easily accessible. It does not offer a proper breakfast, but a dining space, coffee, tea, snacks, milk, bread and fruit. The hosts are really helpful. However, the price is quite high, although could not find better in Edinburgh.
5.0 / 10.0
I’ve never stayed in a hostel but I think this was a previous hostel room and it was clean and large, giving my family of 4 enough space to spread out. Also it having a full-size kitchen was very convenient again giving me some extra spaces since I’ve been with my family of 4 all week in London. And the manager was very helpful and friendly. Only complaint we had was the room was on the top of 3 floors and no elevator. So yeah there were a lot of hugging and puffing mostly by me. Overall it was a great place considering I planned this last minute and didn’t even know the fringe was going on in Edinburgh.

It was easy to get to this property via the tram after getting off our train from the train station. If you are arriving by plane, you can also easily access the tram to this property too. The proximity to a tram stop makes this property a standout.
When we arrived, we were greeted by Edna and her son Craig. They were both really friendly and gave us a lot advice of where to eat and what to do. We managed to go to one of Craig’s many recommendations - Fishwater for fish and chips, which was located a couple of tram stops away. The price was so reasonable and the large fish and chips order was so huge that my daughter and I ended up sharing it. It was really fantastic!
Pillars House offers a continental breakfast of wrapped granola bars and wrapped jam filled croissants to enjoy in the room. They also supply you with tasty cookies to enjoy with the generous tea/coffee/hot chocolate supplies in the room. In addition, guests have access to the kitchen at all times, where there are generous supplies of assorted fruit ie apples, oranges, grapes, plums and bananas and generous supply of wrapped large muffins to supplement your breakfast or to grab as snacks throughout the day. We were impressed with the daily cleaning and refreshing of our rooms. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the room was really quiet. We never heard our neighbours in the rooms on either side of our room for our entire 3 night stay. We highly recommend Pillars!

We were made to feel very welcome and at home. Nice touch having fruit on the dining table for anyone to use, and croissants in room. Great location for heading into the city centre (walk or tram) or a wander round Leith.

If you want to stay in authentic Edinburough, this is the place. This is a charming old world building with wonderful ambiance. The staff is very friendly and helped us find great places to visit during our time in the city.
The hotel is located half a block from the tram station that takes you into the center of Edinburough and to the airport so it is very conveniently placed.

We were very happy with our stay. The place is very conveniently located, in the quiet residential area with tram stop near by. The room equipped with everything you might need, small refrigerator, tv, tea maker. The different treats to compliment the tea and water in the refrigerator. You also can use well equipped kitchen downstairs and enjoy pastries and fruit for light breakfast. Everything is very clean and convenient. The owner gave us good advice about all local restaurants and more. The price is very reasonable. You can park your car in the back of the building and enjoy the town on your foot. Overall great stay!

Pillar house is great for what you pay for. It was cheap but clean and the staff was great. It’s not upscale and amenities are basic. Think of an upscale hostal w/ your own clean bathroom. Great location.

Met the proprietor Craig who was very friendly & informative upon arrival. The building is currently under refurbishment externally but once inside is very cozy. Room was a little dated but spotlessly clean & comfortable. Plenty of goods on offer to make yourself a continental breakfast in a very well equipped & spacious communal kitchen
4.0 / 10.0
This is an old building, full of character, with free parking. It’s in a great area close to great restaurants and bars and handy for the tram to take you to the city centre. The rooms have been renovated and it is very comfortable. The bedding looks as though it’s been washed hundreds of times but that is not a problem as everything was clean.

Our hosts were very helpful and accommodating, There is a full kitchen for guests use and there were always snacks, coffee and tea available. Trams to town center and the docks are right outside the door with a stop a block away. No complaints from us!

This property is old and dated, but it was clean, comfortable, our host was great, and it offered more amenities than most of the high priced airbnbs we stayed in on this trip. And it's right on the tram line. Leith looked like a pretty cool area to explore if we'd had more time.

A fabulous stay and a great welcome. Enjoyed the fresh fruit every morning along with the availability of a well equipped kitchen to prepare our own meals. The room was serviced daily with plenty of towels and amenities. The tram stop is near by.
The room was clean and the bed comfy. Thanks

Our stay was perfect. Craig is a warm and knowledgeable host who shared with us information on the history of the hotel as well as provided us with a map, restaurant recommendations (We took his recommendation and ate at The King's Wark which was great food) and gave us a tour of the room and the common space.
Our room was perfect for our overnight stay. The room was in great shape and perfectly maintained (not an easy task with an older facility)
Our stay was perfect and will book with Pillar House the next time we stay in Edinburgh
