Offering city views, Roomzzz Edinburgh is an accommodation located in Edinburgh, 1 km from National Museum of Scotland and 400 metres from Royal Mile. It is set 400 metres from Edinburgh Playhouse and offers free WiFi plus a 24-hour front desk. The property is 700 metres from the city centre and 400 metres from Edinburgh Waverley station. We liked how accessible the place was from the train station. It is literally right across the street! And it’s also attached to a mall which made it so convenient for us to look for food when we don’t want to go somewhere far. There are also bus stops around which made it easy to commute but the best part is… it’s in the middle of all tourist spots!!!

All apartments feature a kitchen equipped with a dishwasher, oven, coffee machine and microwave. There is a bathroom in each apartment, equipped with free toiletries and a shower. A lounge area is available, and a TV is provided in the bedroom. Towels and bed linen are available. 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.

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. Very easy to find and a very convenient location. Luggage storage was perfect, as we got there a bit early. The apartment was well-apportioned and had everything we needed. The only thing missing, but certainly not a deal breaker, was a hair dryer.
