Amazing. Fully stocked fridge and kitchen with food all complimentary. Great location right next to the tram line. Only lost a star because of the extremely thin walls meaning we could hear everything from the adjoining room... and I mean everything!

The room was exactly as it looked in the pictures. Very clean, and great conditions. Also, we had breakfast included and it was fantastic! The staff was also very, very kind. The only bad thing, was that when we got there, the room smelled a bit like cigarettes, but after some hours of the window open, it was fine. But definitely I would a 100% recommend this place!

Staying at Pillars House was like home from home. So comfortable and clean. We didn't have breakfast, but we could have helped ourselves to toast, jams, fruit, etc.... which looked lovely. The location was perfect - such a lovely area - will definitely stay there again.

Craig is an excellent host and very welcoming. He spent quite some time explaining the area to me - restaurants and best routes to walk in Edinburgh. I loved my room! It had everything I needed and it’s so handy having the fridge with complimentary drinks available. The kitchen is so generous and a great addition for breakfast. You can cook your own meals as well. The tram into town and from the airport is a 2min walk from the property. I’d definitely stay here again! Thanks again, Craig!

Anthony & staff were very helpful. This property used to be a B & B, but I assume "C" may have changed their marketing. WE stayed in the old/front part - they have numerous types of rooms, on several levels. The property is walking distance to all of your wants/needs & about a 20 - 30 minute walk to Brittania & historic downtown. Their kitchen appeared to offer every type of cooking option & the tram system stop was a 2 minute walk, at most. NOT 5 star, but great location, comfort & staff. - SPA007

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I didn't use the kitchen facilities so I can't rate that. But it was nice to have a room with a fridge that wasn't extremely expensive. Not only that the room had complimentary snacks and the fridge had some beverages including water, also complimentary. The room was beside the roadway with the tram, but once I was asleep, I didn't notice any noises. The bed was comfortable. Only negatives were the TV didn't work (I was only there one night so I didn't bother bringing it up with the staff) and the shower was a bit odd, because it had two shower heads, but only one was functioning and the functioning one didn't let you attach it to a rod or wall for hands free showering. Not a deal breaker, just a little unusual. A short walk from the nearest tram station, which was convenient. Close to bus stops as well, and short wak from some supermarket/grocers if you needed to buy snacks.
