The room was quite nice and cozy, the whole area was secure and clean as well. I received personal recommendations from the owner of places in the area which did not disappoint!

Staying at Pillars House was like home from home. So comfortable and clean. We didn't have breakfast, but we could have helped ourselves to toast, jams, fruit, etc.... which looked lovely. The location was perfect - such a lovely area - will definitely stay there again.
so many goodies for us in the room! Very close to tram stop. Wonderful host who helped us with our laundry. Cozy kitchen where we could help ourselves to goodies throughout the day and night. The host helped us with tourism sites and maps.
