We were made to feel very welcome and at home. Nice touch having fruit on the dining table for anyone to use, and croissants in room. Great location for heading into the city centre (walk or tram) or a wander round Leith.

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.

Very happy with this stay

We were very happy with our stay. The place is very conveniently located, in the quiet residential area with tram stop near by. The room equipped with everything you might need, small refrigerator, tv, tea maker. The different treats to compliment the tea and water in the refrigerator. You also can use well equipped kitchen downstairs and enjoy pastries and fruit for light breakfast. Everything is very clean and convenient. The owner gave us good advice about all local restaurants and more. The price is very reasonable. You can park your car in the back of the building and enjoy the town on your foot. Overall great stay!

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

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.

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.

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

It is certainly dated but easy access to a large kitchen. Lots of snacks and coffee. Close to a grocery store. Right on the tram line so easy from airport. One problem, it was very difficult to get the right temperature for the shower. In fact the water was scalding hot when we went to turn it off. We had to drop a bath towel in the tub to turn in off so we did not get burnt.
