Situated in the heart of Edinburgh’s city centre, Malt House Apartments are only 2 minutes’ walk to the west end of Princes Street. The modern apartments have been converted from a whisky-bond building and come fully equipped with a kitchen, free Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV.

Stop looking and stay here. Facilities are huge, brand new and great quality. They have storage for before and after your stay for free, your keypass will stay working after you check out for a full day, and will work before your check in too. Fully equiped kitchen, with a Sainsbury's supermarket just around the corner and 10 minutes walk from the royal mile (main tourist street). Very quiet road and no complicated check in or check out, super straight forward, only 30 min from the airport with a tram and bus stop just around the corner. I feel so lucky to have found this place, it is the kind of place you recommend to friends and family. LOVED IT!
