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.

C, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

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.
Greta, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

6/10 Good

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

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.

It was very cozy, the staff was very friendly. Very cute place, will hopefully visit again in the future! Incredibly aesthetic, very good for a couples getaway. Wonderful location, right on the tram line so very easy for exploring the city!
