8/10 Very good

The location is very good, with easy access to the center and public transport.
Mr Manuel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good and helpful staff, we also borrowed their washing machine. They also had a kitchen with coffee and fruits that was a really nice touch. Superb location, really good value for the money!
Hans, 1-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

10/10 Exceptional

I loved this place great for my people on a budget large kitchen to use free milk tea coffee fruit and muffins vert clean and wat a bonus to have a fridge in your room Laundry parking Staff are really nice Looks old and dreary but it’s not when ya get in teammate right outside loads of shops pubs restaurants in walking distance Best hotel yet

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

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

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

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!

Wonderful stay - would highly recommend

Really impressed with this place, especially for the very fair price we paid. Convenient location about 200 yards from tram stop. Really spacious room which had small kitchen facility as added bonus. Staff friendly and luggage storage helpful. Only gripe was that our shower in the en suite bathroom did not work v well

Mohammad, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The manager there was incredibly friendly, the kitchen was clean and full of coffee, tea, and muffins. Not the most amazing location but has a tram stop to central Edinburgh a 2 minute walk away. Definitely would stay here again

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and comfortable

Charming older building a short walk from coffee shops, restaurants and Edinburgh’s excellent tram network and public transit. The room was tidy and serviceable, staff was friendly and responsive, all at a great price point. It’s not the Omni, to be clear, but it’s a comfortable place to use for exploring Edinburgh. Do note that there are stairs to the rooms so keep accessibility in mind.

10/10 Exceptional

Great location. Comfortable bed. Well stocked fridge and snacks in room. Use of kitchen facilities very handy. Need earplugs as there is sporadic street noise at night. Ideal location for nice cafes and tram into the city.
Gary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location right on the tramline. Honestly for the price and location. I dont think you can complain at all. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and well stocked.
John, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Four nights stay with my mom

Warm and welcoming. Excellent location, great value for money. Some roofing work going on but there was zero noise or disturbance whatsoever. The beds are super comfortable, and rooms silent, so we slept well. Second time staying here, will be coming back. Craig is lovely and helpful, and we got to leave our luggage at the hotel for the day after checkout so we could go to Portobello for we had a late flight. Oh and I could just see Arthur's Seat from the room window :)
