So helpful
Due to recent changes to layout I struggled to find entrance but reception told me to sit nearby in car and they sent someone to find me. That was really appreciated thank you.

Great place to stay in Edinburgh
Pillars House was a great stay in Edinburgh. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the accommodations themselves were clean and spacious. We would certainly stay here again on another visit.

Noisy building in a quiet location.
I had a friendly welcome, great that I could check in at noon and I was given a room at the back of the hotel on the first (top) floor. Fair sized family room with a double and single bed, attic style window with roller blind, basic key operated safe and fridge stocked with complimentary juices, water and milk were the key features. Food offerings included flavoured croissants and mini packs of biscuits. Small old fashioned en suite with toiletries and ample towels. The beds were too short for someone 6ft or taller, lots of creaking floorboards and paper thin walls. I was unlucky with inconsiderate neighbours, who didn't stop talking or have the tv at a reasonable volume until they went to sleep. Even then I could hear snoring/ sighing through the thin walls. Ear plugs are essential, I would advise. The hotel is situated in a quiet area of Leith and there is a tram stop close by.

Everything was perfect!
We visited Edinburgh in October and we had the best time ever! The rooms were very clean and cute, it is very easy to get to all the spots you would want to visit during your stay, and also the owners are extremely kind and also willing to give you good recommandations regarding sight seeing spots and restaurants. We are definitely planning to visit Edinburg another time and we would never even consider to sleep at another place. Absolutely lovely!!

Comfortable and convenient
It was a really nice stay in the property. Comfortable and clean throughout, specially the room was really warm, so we did not struggle with cold. The en-suite bathroom and shower facilities up to the mark. Edna went extra mile to let us checked in earlier as we were tired from long journey. They also kept our luggage on request after we checked out, for few hours, so that we could wander freely around the town before our train departure. Last but not the least, excellent communication with the centre, tram is just in front of the house, so convenient, easy connection with airport and railway station. Halal food nearby. Just one thing, I would try to avoid booking downstairs room if possible, as it can be noisy specifically at night time due to upstairs wooden floors. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended.
