The staff at Destiny Scotland Distillers House were phenomenal. They were so attentive and responded to email inquiries quickly! Our room happened to be ready for check-in even though we arrived at 12:30 p.m., which was lovely. Our room was on the first floor in the back of the property so we were away from any street noise. We stayed 5 nights and it was very, very comfortable and quiet!

Stylish, Spacious, and Central

We had a fantastic stay at Destiny Scotland - Distillers House. The apartment was spotlessly clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated. The bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped for our needs — ideal for both short and extended stays. One of the biggest advantages is the location: it’s central yet quiet, with easy access to Princes Street, Haymarket, and the West End. We loved being able to walk to great cafes, restaurants, and attractions, all within minutes. Self check-in was smooth and convenient with clear instructions provided in advance. The communication with the property was prompt and professional throughout. We appreciated the thoughtful touches like quality toiletries, soft towels, and plenty of storage space. A great choice for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and stylish base in Edinburgh.

Comfy & convenient; no lift & poor soundproofing

Good location, clean and comfortable space, well equipped apartment, plenty of good food sources of all sorts within easy reach - we enjoyed our stay. There are imperfections, of course! Quite noisy - we were on the 2nd floor but were still woken by the street cleaning truck. Don't book if you have any mobility or balance issue: from the hidden door step to the narrow, winding, carpeted stairs, the slip-and-trip opportunities are plentiful. Also, it puzzles me why a spacious place has only a queen bed. No matter, we'll likely be back.

The staff was helpful and the property nice. However, it is on one of the busiest streets in Edinburgh--so, difficult to sleep at night due to the noise. Because of this, we wouldn't stay there again.

Great location, easy to get there from the airport, lovely restaurants nearby and close to all the tourist stuff. Great apartment, really well equipped and nicely presented. Couple of relatively minor points- the apartment is quite big, the bed is too small and not that comfy. Also in the small dressing room there’s a full length mirror & storage but no place to plug anything in. Other than that a really good and easy would have happily stayed longer.

Booked a comfort double, got a 2 bed apartment in the basement, so review is based on that. Good: well appointed with solid build and craftsmanship with furniture and decor in as-new condition. Comfy bed, great bathroom and shower, spacious lounge diner. Bad: bedrooms themselves are tiny so cases had to be opened and unpacked in the living area. No elevator but stairs are steep, narrow and winding. Basement room looked out on a wall and was noisy with traffic and tram

Pretty Good

The apartment we stayed in was great. We especially loved being able to make breakfast every morning. It was clean, well-maintained, and communication for the most part was good. We did call the "emergency" after-hours number a couple of times but no one answered. Emails were answered quickly, though, even on the weekend. As others have said, the location is quite loud. On our final night, there were crews working on the street right below our windows at two in the morning. Earplugs allowed us to go back to sleep. Note: there is no lift, which means trekking up three flights of stairs if you're on the second floor. Two suggestions: have better washer-dryer combo instructions available since even by searching the model #, it's impossible to find them online. Second, a couple of extra throws or blankets.

This property is very spacious and conveniently located. We reserved his twice as part of our trip inbound and outbound purposely for the washer/dryer. Instructions even on the app are not clear to travelers that do not utilize all in one machines. Overall the property is clean with lots of amenities.

We enjoyed our stay. Clean, spacious apartment, separate bedrooms with darkening blinds. Great location so close to the transportation, airport express bus, train station, grocery, restaurants. Walking distance to all the major points of interest. Keyless entry is very convenient. Full kitchen with a dining area. Left a few suggestions to the management on some cosmetic improvements but overall - no issues. Highly recommending!
