We were traveling from US & received very helpful communication via e-mail related to check- in & location traveling from airport tram. The room were clean, comfortable & even had a kitchen that guest could use. The owner was so friendly & helpful with suggestions for bars, restaurants & transportation. Good Value for comfortable lodging.

We stayed for 2 nights at Pillars House. Edna and Craig were very responsive to emails ahead of our stay and even though there wasn't a hot breakfast, I appreciated the well stocked fridge and pantry complete with Irn Bru.  …

The host Craig was very helpful and accommodating. He even helped us with a very late check-in. The price good, and the rooms' accommodations also very good. Bathrooms were nice, and my room had a Smart TV.Small downsides are there is no breakfast provided (instead you get some yummy breakfast snacks in your room and are allowed to use the kitchen minus the stove), and that it is fairly hard to get there from the airport.However I understand that they are inaugurating a new high-tech tram system very soon (visited April 2023), so I think any problem imposed by the distance from Edinburgh proper and the airport will soon be reduced greatly.5-star stay, would definitely recommend.

Comfortable and quiet despite being on the tram route with stops 200 m away. We had a back room, triple beds, which was very quiet even with windows open. Very compact room and en suite. Fridge full of soft drinks and breakfast snacks. No breakfast provided, just room.

Lovely, cosy, clean, welcoming place to stay. Craig met us on arrival and kindly gave us a street map of Leith and Edinburgh, also, gave us info on area and good places to eat. Kindly showed us where to park the car, nothing too much trouble. Thankyou for taking the time, nice to feel welcome. Very friendly and helpful, met Anthony next day, also very friendly. Had the best nights rest, comfy bed, and, heating on the whole time if you wanted your radiator left on, lovely. Snacks, drinks, fridge, kettle in the room, which is lovely and appreciated. Would stay again if in the area, for sure, had a lovely time. Thankyou for a great stay.
