Friendly staff and easy check-in. Easy to get to since the tram stop is just up the road. Room was small and faced the road so you hear the trams trundling past late at night and early morning. Ear plugs are provided though which were helpful. Good communal kitchen with fruit, coffee and snacks etc which was much appreciated.

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.

Great value for money.

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.

Very spacious suite

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!

Beautiful Building

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.

Very happy with this stay

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!

Comfortable, Clean & friendly

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

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.

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.

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.
