A hidden gem
Pillars House is a hidden gem, which offers fantastic value for money in a very expensive city. I thought it would be a bit basic, but it offered much more than I expected and the en suite bathroom was a pleasant surprise. We were able to do an element of self-catering using the shared kitchen and everyone we met was very friendly. Pillars House is located close to the tram line in Edinburgh, which opens up easy access to the city.

A good choice!
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

Excellent place for short stays
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(.

The Pillars
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.
