We really enjoyed our stay at Pillars! All staff members were kind and helpful. We made good use of the kitchen for tea, light breakfasts, and for takeaway food. Our room was cozy, clean, and lovely. We would be happy to visit again!

Stayed here for a night for a conference and it had everything I needed. On site parking is a real bonus for me, though spacrs are very limited and small. No meals per se, but well equipped kitchen area with bread, cereal, milk, pastries, etc. available at all times. Also big supermarket a minute walk, and pub serving food close-by. Fridge on room was nice to allow me to take milk up for use. Room fairly basic but comfortable. I did hear trams go by into the night, and early morning, but not too loud, and maybe dependent on room - it won't put ne off returning .

The hotel was in a good area for restaurants & shops, & the tram stop was on our door step in to Edinburgh City centre. Room was clean & tidy, with a small fridge which had water & iron brew topped up daily. (Nice touch) Self service breakfast in the kitchen, bread cereals & other items available to guests. & if you did want to book something you would be able to do so. Nice place to stay

Craig was a marvelous host. The property was well appointed. The room that we had was room 4 and it had a well appointed bathroom as well as a double and single bed. It even had a small fridge stocked with water. There was also a communal kitchen stocked with coffee, tea, breakfast items including fruit and yogurt free forcthwctaking not just at breakfast time. The property is located right off of the tram way and close to bars, restaurants and a Tesco grocery store. For our purposes this property was great value for the money and we would not hesitate to book it again in the future.

We stayed for 2 nights to be close to the city for a break, this B&B was really convenient for that being on the main tram line from the airport. The guy checking us in (sorry can’t remember the name!) Was so helpful with recommendations in the local area, Leith was really lovely to explore too! There are a couple of maintenance issues in the room but nothing that ruined the stay however, we had a room on the ground floor and the person/s above us was very active! Creaky floorboards and footsteps meant we had little sleep over the 2 nights but this is not a fault of the hosts, I would suggest requesting an upper floor room for any light sleepers! The kitchen area with breakfast items is such a lovely touch esp as we were travelling early morning on departure, also water and iron bru in the room! Would most def stay here again when visiting Edinburgh! Thank you!

The staff waited for us to arrive late and were very helpful in giving us directions into Edinburgh. The kitchen was clean and well stocked and open to us. The room itself was where it fell just a little short and the reason for only 4 stars. It could have used a fair amount of refreshing, better linens, and airing out. The price was high given that, although the Fringe was going on so I imagine that raised the price. I would recommend a stay there nonetheless.

We arrived ahead of our check in time and luckily our room was made up and ready for us - our host was so lovely and helpful and we felt welcome straight away! The room was a good size with super comfortable beds and bedding, very clean. Pleasantly surprised by the complimentary Irn Bru and water in the room's mini fridge and plenty of tea bags available too. You're able to help yourself to breakfast items in the kitchen each morning, with plenty of juice and milk available too. Super convenient to walk to Edinburgh city centre - just a straight road for about 40 minutes and plenty of shops.
