Great location to get into the centre of Edinburgh via a tram or bus, or to get to the cafes and pubs in The Shore area. The staff were friendly and informative. The parking was good and seemed to be ample places. The provision of complimentary drinks and snacks was a bonus. Will stay here again when we next visit Edinburgh.

Stayed in pillars house for a night with my two girls. Had the room with 3 single beds and it was super cosy. Decor was a bit dated but we loved that - felt like granny’s house! Lovely and clean and great facilities in the kitchen to use. We would definitely go back to stay. Staff were lovely and friendly. Nothing to dislike. We used public transport and that was easy from pillars house too.

Was 3 friends staying here.Was ideal in 3 single beds.The staff weren't in a rush to get us to check out. Nice big kitchen to use and is well stocked with cold breakfast like fruit and cereals. If you wanted a cooked breakfast you can take your own food. Lots of places to eat and drink in the area. Easy place to get to on the Tram. Would certainly stay here again. Staff very welcoming
