This place was amazing, so clean and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed. The decor felt new as did most of the apartment. The beds were comfy and there were wardrobes to store clothes. The heating was good, just had to turn it on from the small laundry room. The location is pretty good, walking distance to lots of tourist spots, shops, restaurants as well as the train station. There can be some noise at night but it was never loud enough to bother us, 99% of the time it was really quiet and peaceful Highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Edinburgh with your family.

Destiny Scotland - Distillers House

West End, Edinburgh

Destiny Scotland - Distillers House offers self-catering accommodations in a period building in Edinburgh's West End. Guests can enjoy free WiFi at the property.

Destiny Scotland - Distillers House offers a superb base for exploring the historic city of Edinburgh. One of its strongest assets is the excellent location, allowing you to comfortably reach Edinburgh Castle and other nearby landmarks within a pleasant 20-minute walk. This makes sightseeing incredibly convenient and enjoyable. The accommodation itself is spotlessly clean and remarkably well-organized. We particularly appreciated the fully equipped kitchen, which offers great flexibility for preparing meals and feeling truly at home during your stay. Practical conveniences enhance the experience, such as the luggage storage option for early arrivals, which proved to be very handy. Furthermore, the instructions sent before arrival are a standout – they are clear, concise, and incredibly easy to follow, ensuring a smooth and stress-free check-in. It's worth noting for those with mobility concerns or heavy luggage that there is no lift or elevator at the property. However, this is a minor point considering the overall high quality and convenience. In summary, Destiny Scotland - Distillers House provides a fantastic, self-sufficient stay in Edinburgh. With its prime location, impeccable cleanliness, thoughtful amenities, and seamless communication, it comes highly recommended.

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!

    Very helpful and friendly staff. The room was a modern and spacious studio with an en-suite bathroom. The room was spotless and nicely furnished. Very well situated within walking distance from all main attractions. I had a last minute Very cheap deal, so I can't comment on overall price, but it seems quite reasonnable for a central location.
