Great host. Clean room and facilities. Location awesome with cafes /restaurants very close Port of Leith with Britannia and distillery were superb visits The trams were modern and went past front door into the heart of Edinburgh Only negative were small rooms and small set of steep stairs and tv reception was rough. But minor given all other factors

Excellent place for short stays
Nice place for short stays. Each room has plenty of coffee, tea, and biscuits. You can also use the kitchen where you can find fruit. You have your key to the main entrance. The reception was fast and cordial. Fully recommended.

Charming old-school little inn. Booked it because they have early check in that helped after arriving on red eye from USA. Walkable to restaurants in Leith. Nice basic room with three single beds and en suite shower. Friendly folks. Free parking in the back which is also the way in. Just what we needed (and not five stars only because I’ve stayed in some really nice hotels, with luxury appointments and chic surroundings and this is not that(.

The Pillars
The room was ok, adequate for a couple of nights sleep. The room was clean thr beds were comfy. Coffee making stuff in our room alongside breakfast stuff. The breakfast stuff were cereal bars, croissants and small cartons of juice, not what we were expecting. You could make use of the large kitchen to make food if you so wanted. The shower was small however lots hot water there was shower gel,body lotion provided for you. On arrival to the hotel the door is locked and uou have a ring a bell for the guy to let you in. You are given a key to let yourself in when you left the hotel The huy we spoke to was very helpful answering the questions we needed to know about the trams/ Edinburgh. The hotel in situated approx 40 minute walk from Princess Street however the trams pass by it and the tram station in approx 2 minute walk from the hotel.

We were a very last minute reservation as our flight was unexpectedly cancelled. The owners were incredibly welcoming & kind. The rooms are small but cozy & each has an en-suite bathroom. Enormous & well equipped kitchen for all residents to use. Short walk to public transportation.

Edinburgh visit
The person who checked us in was very helpful and the food and drink in refrigerator was nice touch. However We had a room with 3 beds , for my husband and I and our 14 year old grandson, that was smaller than expected. It also had a strange smell - like a wet dog.

Love this wee hotel ♥️ it’s like a good old fashioned normal hotel and not like one of the heartless chain hotels where every room looks the same. They don’t serve breakfast and that’s reflected in the price. The fridge in the room has everything you’ll need for a quick coffee in the morning and we found an excellent vegan cafe around the corner for our breakfast.

This was one of the most wonderful stay that we ever had! This is a family-owned hotel! Craig is one of the nicest guys you can ever meet! He greets you kindly and gives you every possible information to help you enjoy your time. The room was spacious and very clean. They provide many snacking options and juice in your room free of charge. You can use the kitchen in common area to warm up food or even cook! Having a free washer and dryer was a triple plus! Thank you Craig! We had such an amazing time with you! Your staff is as amazing as you!
