The Spotlight on 16 Pilrig Guest House

Quiet Comfort Near the Action in Edinburgh

Modern and welcoming, 16 Pilrig Guest House is a charming bed and breakfast set just a 12-minute walk from the iconic Edinburgh Playhouse. Tucked away on a peaceful street but still within easy reach of the city's bustling music scene, this guest house offers a relaxed, affordable base for concert-goers who want to be close to the action—and enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep after the encore.

With free WiFi, a 24-hour front desk, and daily room service, it's a smart pick for travelers who want convenience without the price tag of a city-centre hotel.

Why Concert-goers love it

Its location is a major win—just over a mile from both Edinburgh Waverley Station and top live music venues. You can walk to your gig and back, making late-night transport a breeze. The area is quieter than the city centre, so you can unwind easily post-show. The 24-hour front desk makes late arrivals or early checkouts hassle-free, and daily room service adds a touch of comfort for longer stays.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly base
  • Solo travelers heading to a dream concert
  • Couples planning a weekend escape with music in the mix
  • Fans who want a quiet space to crash after the show
  • Budget-conscious music fans who value location and simplicity

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’ll find plenty of walkable eateries in nearby Leith and New Town. The guest house provides daily room service for light bites, and many local cafés offer breakfast well into the late morning—ideal after a long night out.

Nightlife Options

You're a short stroll from some of Edinburgh’s best pubs, bars, and music lounges. Whether you're into craft cocktails, traditional Scottish pubs, or chill venues with acoustic sets, the area around Broughton Street and Leith Walk has it covered.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly hosts and the clean, comfortable rooms. Reviews often mention the great location for walking to concerts and the value for money. The quiet, residential vibe of the area is a hit with those not looking to party all night.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are simple and don’t have air conditioning—though that’s rarely an issue in Edinburgh. Some guests noted the 10:00 AM checkout feels a little early after a late night, but the staff are accommodating when possible.

The Bottom Line

A quiet, value-packed guest house that puts you within walking distance of top live music venues—perfect for concert-goers who want location without the late-night noise.

Passable

Liked: Stayed 2 nights. The room we got was clean and nice, although small and without a desk. The bed is comfortable.
Disliked: Misleading and false information about the services of the property.At the time I am writing this review, here are the facilities proposed :Parking, is mentioned so the room pops when you use the keyword, but there is no parking at all, and the price in the street are very expensive if you are here during the week.24 hour front desk is just plain false.Laundry and ironing service is totally false.The shared lounge/tv area is occupied by staff members who are doing the housework here during the day.The place is quite noisy. Forget sleeping after 8am if you don't have any ear plugs. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad place. But considering its price and the amount of misleading information provided, I say it's almost a scam. Some would say that it's the price for a weekend during the Fringe, high demand, high prices, that's the market ! Well the market is crap, and you don't have to lie to get people choosing your place

Very good

Liked: The house was a short walk from the bus stop, and we had a warm welcome from reception staff. Our room was very clean with a comfortable bed, though quite compact. It was to the rear of the property, so quiet, which was lovely on a city break.
Disliked: The room was small but adequate for one night.
