The place is close to public transportation-trams and buses which is the best thing about this place. The property manager, Craig was very helpful and friendly. He also provided some good travel tips. Room was clean and had basic amenities along with coffee and snacks. The only down side is that the walls are paper thin like many places in Europe so it is easy to disturb others and/or get disturbed by them. Caution: There are many steps to get to the room and there is no elevator so be mindful of that specially if you are carrying the heavy luggage.

Great host. Clean room and facilities. Location awesome with cafes /restaurants very close Port of Leith with Britannia and distillery were superb visits The trams were modern and went past front door into the heart of Edinburgh Only negative were small rooms and small set of steep stairs and tv reception was rough. But minor given all other factors

great location, reasonable price. Craig was great host

Nice and clean room. Very convenient location during Fringe.

Nice place for short stays. Each room has plenty of coffee, tea, and biscuits. You can also use the kitchen where you can find fruit. You have your key to the main entrance. The reception was fast and cordial. Fully recommended.

Charming old-school little inn. Booked it because they have early check in that helped after arriving on red eye from USA. Walkable to restaurants in Leith. Nice basic room with three single beds and en suite shower. Friendly folks. Free parking in the back which is also the way in. Just what we needed (and not five stars only because I’ve stayed in some really nice hotels, with luxury appointments and chic surroundings and this is not that(.

Great stay. We arrived a bit early and the room was ready. Close to a tram stop or about a 30 min walk to princes street. Plenty of shops, cafes and bars nearby.

The host really nice and helpful.

The room was ok, adequate for a couple of nights sleep. The room was clean thr beds were comfy. Coffee making stuff in our room alongside breakfast stuff. The breakfast stuff were cereal bars, croissants and small cartons of juice, not what we were expecting. You could make use of the large kitchen to make food if you so wanted. The shower was small however lots hot water there was shower gel,body lotion provided for you. On arrival to the hotel the door is locked and uou have a ring a bell for the guy to let you in. You are given a key to let yourself in when you left the hotel The huy we spoke to was very helpful answering the questions we needed to know about the trams/ Edinburgh. The hotel in situated approx 40 minute walk from Princess Street however the trams pass by it and the tram station in approx 2 minute walk from the hotel.

Great place and amazing staff!

Stay was really welcoming Travelled with kids and stayed for a night and nothing to fault

We were a very last minute reservation as our flight was unexpectedly cancelled. The owners were incredibly welcoming & kind. The rooms are small but cozy & each has an en-suite bathroom. Enormous & well equipped kitchen for all residents to use. Short walk to public transportation.

Very easy to get the Tram to the Royal Mile area. Make sure you get directions to drive to the Pillars House,

The owner is a great guy, really friendly and helpful. The building itself is historical and creates the special authentic atmosphere. We walked to the city center - 40 minutes on foot. A fascinating place!

The person who checked us in was very helpful and the food and drink in refrigerator was nice touch. However We had a room with 3 beds , for my husband and I and our 14 year old grandson, that was smaller than expected. It also had a strange smell - like a wet dog.

Love this wee hotel ♥️ it’s like a good old fashioned normal hotel and not like one of the heartless chain hotels where every room looks the same. They don’t serve breakfast and that’s reflected in the price. The fridge in the room has everything you’ll need for a quick coffee in the morning and we found an excellent vegan cafe around the corner for our breakfast.

This was one of the most wonderful stay that we ever had! This is a family-owned hotel! Craig is one of the nicest guys you can ever meet! He greets you kindly and gives you every possible information to help you enjoy your time. The room was spacious and very clean. They provide many snacking options and juice in your room free of charge. You can use the kitchen in common area to warm up food or even cook! Having a free washer and dryer was a triple plus! Thank you Craig! We had such an amazing time with you! Your staff is as amazing as you!

Excellent staff and good supplies in the room

Clean and basic, although slightly dated. Really friendly staff and loved the complementary water, irn bru, juice, and croissants in our room. Tram stop nearby to take you in to Edinburgh, which was great

Could use new mattresses and pillows on bed

We had a comfortable stay here for the night. Craig was friendly on arrival, and it is in a good location to get around by bus or tram.

For the money we paid , the room, amenities and the friendly welcome we got from Craig on arrival were first class.Location was excellent for buses, trams etc. Would definitely consider using again.

Really very very nice place to stay. Unbelievable. you u will feel like a second home here.

Friendly staff.Close to tram station.

Very friendly and polite staff, provided nice choice of room with excellent view of Leith sky line and complimentary food and beverage in the fridge. Mostly very quiet and you can hear bird sing if you open the window.

Pillars house was absolutely incredible! We had never been to Scotland before, and pillars house was the perfect place for us. Not only is it in a gorgeous and accessible area of town, but the host, Craig, was incredibly friendly and accommodating. His knowledge of Edinburgh saved us from wandering around looking for the best eats, in fact right when we arrived he sat us down and wrote us a list and marked a map with his favourite spots. Pillars house was truly the most homey place so far from home. All three of us who stayed there would recommended it to anyone travelling to Edinburgh in a heartbeat! And Craig, if you’re reading this, you rock!!

Amazing location and hospitality. All staff members were so helpful and hotel is very clean. Tony in particularly was amazing. Definitely recommend

Stayed only for one night but had really good time. Room was clean and warm. Fridge was stocked with soft drinks and there is some snacks which is really nice touch. Close to everything that leith has to offer as well as centre. Would stay again.

Fantastic stay, great value for money. Service was superb, would definitely stay again

Worth the money. Great host.

Very friendly and helpful host. He gave us a rundown of the city and even let us keep our car there the next day as we explored Edinburg. We appreciated having access to the kitchen and the complimentary coffee, water and snacks. Would stay there again.
