“Very warm and friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

Meand my partner was moved to this hotel as our original hotel over booked us on new years eve!!

We was very worried but there was no need to be!

-Very secure, very warm, very very clean all en-suite rooms.
-Safe deposit box in rooms.
-Beautiful back smoking area that leads to a large park!
-A short bus ride from edinburgh city centre (we walked it in 15 minute but lots of bus routes)

Would recommend this hotel to anyone!

Room Tip: Book it! There are alot worse hotels in edinburgh!!

“Very friendly!”

Although not the most spacious this b&b was more than welcoming and for me perfectly placed, really well priced with some nice touches. The building is old and could do with a little up dating but the breakfast was superb and I had all I could require. Will definately be using again!

“Great time in Edinburgh”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

Pillars House is a great little B&B. From checkin to check out was a pleasure. Mark whit his gift of the gob had us laughing and enjoying his knowledge of Scottish history and customs was a pleasure. Mark is an excelent cook and breakfast was a very serious treat. About 50m walk to the next bus stop that takes you right to Princess Street. A number of good pubs and resturants are within an easy walking distance.

The room was clean, modern and gave us a warm welcome feeling. I have suggested Pillars House to friends and family and will continue to do so.

“Christmas in Edinburgh”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011

person found this review helpful

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Pillars House whilst visiting family in a nearby apartment. We were made most welcome by Mark, the manager / owner and were well looked after and entertained during our stay over Christmas.
The room was modern and clean with a new bathroom, small but beautifully fitted. the breakfast was excellent and made fresh to order. Parking is plentiful.
I recommend Pillars House to anyone wanting an informal and relaxed stay close to the centre of Edinburgh

Room Tip: The first floor rooms are comfortable and well appointed

“Best stay in Edinburgh”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

It was now our second time together in Edinburgh and I would never go elsewhere. We really enjoyed the family atmosphere and the very friendly way of Marc. There´s no help you wouldn´t be given from them and you can feel that they really enjoy what they do for their guests.

The breakfast alone is worth staying there and it´s really the best I had when being in scotland.
A bus stop (line 16) is 2 minutes away and so you can easily get access wether to the city or the ocean terminal.

There are a lot of good pubs in the area only 5 minutes walk. So if you like to have more than one beer there´s no need to call a taxi ;)

We really hope to find the time asap to go back there. It´s really worth a stay and a precious wee treasure.
