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

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I didn't use the kitchen facilities so I can't rate that. But it was nice to have a room with a fridge that wasn't extremely expensive. Not only that the room had complimentary snacks and the fridge had some beverages including water, also complimentary. The room was beside the roadway with the tram, but once I was asleep, I didn't notice any noises. The bed was comfortable. Only negatives were the TV didn't work (I was only there one night so I didn't bother bringing it up with the staff) and the shower was a bit odd, because it had two shower heads, but only one was functioning and the functioning one didn't let you attach it to a rod or wall for hands free showering. Not a deal breaker, just a little unusual. A short walk from the nearest tram station, which was convenient. Close to bus stops as well, and short wak from some supermarket/grocers if you needed to buy snacks.

Lovely staff and great location

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!

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.

Lovely stay at the Pillars

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.
