A fabulous stay and a great welcome. Enjoyed the fresh fruit every morning along with the availability of a well equipped kitchen to prepare our own meals. The room was serviced daily with plenty of towels and amenities. The tram stop is near by. The room was clean and the bed comfy. Thanks

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.

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

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.
