8/10 Very good

Excellent location. Not much sound protection. Clean and well maintained.
George, 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!

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

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.

Benjamin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Julia, 1-night trip

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.

Trevor, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Kevin, 2-night trip

Beautiful Edinburgh complimented with amazing hotel with nice staff. Love it.

Guy that checked us in was great and the property is close to the street car.
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
Tim, 1-night trip

Brilliant stay

Excellent hotel, great communication, wonderful staff who were really friendly, comfortable rooms and in a wonderful location near the tram system!
Hugh, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Eric, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Michelle, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Mary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our hosts were very helpful and accommodating, There is a full kitchen for guests use and there were always snacks, coffee and tea available. Trams to town center and the docks are right outside the door with a stop a block away. No complaints from us!
Susan, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

You get what you paid for, but the outstanding staff made the stay very enjoyable. They went beyond the expectations, well done.

Regina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay in Edinburgh

Our stay was perfect. Craig is a warm and knowledgeable host who shared with us information on the history of the hotel as well as provided us with a map, restaurant recommendations (We took his recommendation and ate at The King's Wark which was great food) and gave us a tour of the room and the common space. Our room was perfect for our overnight stay. The room was in great shape and perfectly maintained (not an easy task with an older facility) Our stay was perfect and will book with Pillar House the next time we stay in Edinburgh
Paul, 1-night trip

Fantastic stay

Comfortable rooms, great location for the places we were visiting. Lots of lovely complimentary extras in the room. Really helpful and friendly staff. We will definitely be back.
