Friendly staff and easy check-in. Easy to get to since the tram stop is just up the road. Room was small and faced the road so you hear the trams trundling past late at night and early morning. Ear plugs are provided though which were helpful. Good communal kitchen with fruit, coffee and snacks etc which was much appreciated.

The property is located in a nice area, easily accessible. It does not offer a proper breakfast, but a dining space, coffee, tea, snacks, milk, bread and fruit. The hosts are really helpful. However, the price is quite high, although could not find better in Edinburgh.

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.

This property is old and dated, but it was clean, comfortable, our host was great, and it offered more amenities than most of the high priced airbnbs we stayed in on this trip. And it's right on the tram line. Leith looked like a pretty cool area to explore if we'd had more time.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was really impressed by the level of communication from the Pillars. We had booked the room some 5 months earlier to see the military tattoo. Upon arrival, we were met by Craig, who went to great lengths to point out ways by which we could get the most of our trip to Edinburgh; eateries, pubs, clubs, etc. The room was lovely, comfy beds and lots of perks like a fridge in the room, biscuits, tea, coffee, croissants, water and other delights. The kitchen was well equipped and had yoghurt, muffins, fruit, etc, as well as water, ice and a huge fridge. There's a Tesco in easy walkibg distance and the hotel is directly on the Lieth/Airport tram route, with the tram stop being about a 4 minute walk away. Comfy, quirky, and convenient.

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.
