I came with a 2 friends looking to find somewhere close to Leith Links where we were starting our MoonWalk. The location for this was great. Only a short walk away. Everyone was so friendly and the room we had was very clean. The beds were comfortable and when we woke in the morning, we went down to the kitchen... More

An outstanding BnB with good facilities located very close to local amenities. Stayed here for four nights and will defiantly be back again. The landlady was very kind and was more than happy to offer me a room which had microwave facilities.

I've stayed here three times now and have had lovely experiences each time. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and I appreciate having the ability to make tea or coffee available in the room. The kitchen/breakfast room is very light and bright and Edna makes it feel more like having breakfast at a friends house than at a guest... More

We stayed at Pillars House for 3nights while we looked around Edinburgh. Local bus stops were within easy walking distance, and one day we walked to the Royal Mile then back. Edna is a wonderful friendly hostess, and she cooked great breakfasts. The room was large, warm, clean and comfortable. We felt very welcome and enjoyed our stay. We would... More

Location is really bad to get into Edinburgh if that's your main choice of destination - buses or taxi. 40 minute walk into city centre. We booked for Edinburgh Tattoo and this place spoiled our weekend. Room we were put in was "up a few steps" so we were told. It was actually 163 steps up very steep flights! On... More

This B&B was lovely. The rooms are warm and clean, the staff are pleasant and full of tips on things to see and do around the city and the food is great. We enjoyed a comfortable stay over Hogmanay and would definitely go again!

This must be the fourth time I stay at Pillars House. With it's friendly staff, excellent Scottish breakfast, spacious en-suite rooms and closeness to high frequency bus service, it's the perfect place for a stay in Edinburgh

Another B&B let me down at the last minute, Pillar's turned out to be virtually the only room in town and I couldn't have had better luck! My room had been recently refurbished with a hotel quality bathroom and very comfortable bed. I received a very warm welcome from Edna on arrival and an amazing full scottish breakfast in the...

Booked in for work. Was a little apprehensive at first as we were buzzed in rather than entering into a traditional reception you expect at a hotel. Met by Edna the landlady who couldn't have been nicer. Room was large (family room.....had 6 beds!). Everything was spotless and I mean spotless! It's a little dated but not scruffy, damaged or...
