Overall Ratings & Reviews Destiny Scotland - Distillers House

We could not fault our stay at this accommodation. It was clean , roomy with great facilities like kitchen and washing machine. Located close to bus stop and many restaurants around the corner

Quiet

It was a lovely stay. We really appreciated how easy it was to check in and having the “personal” code to get onto the building and into our apartment. It was located right where we needed to be so that we could walk everything we wanted to do because we didn’t want to get a rental car. The only thing I would recommend is either a noise maker or ear plugs (or both) because you are right in the city and there is a lot of noisy traffic.

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.

I liked the beautiful building, tastefully furnished and spacious.

Excellent facilities and within walking distance from railway

Lovely apartment. Close to the city centre.

Fantastic place to stay. Sooo much space. Would have loved to stay for a week. Great location too.

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

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!

Beautiful apartment with modern conveniences. Based in Haymarket, we could walk to delicious restaurants around the block and fun shopping minutes away. Felt very safe, although we always felt safe in Scotland. We would stay here again!

The Palmerston across the street was perfection! Daily ritual of joy to start the day.

Wonderful stay would love to return!

Very spacious, clean, practical, value for money as an expedia member. Overall the perfect stay for a family.

Overall, Destiny Scotland -Distiller's House was quite nice. Very nice neighborhood. About 15-20 minute walk to the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. Lots of nearby restaurants and other services. I'm from the US. It's unusual to rent a place and have zero physical interaction with anyone at all. I was emailed a door access code, both for the front security door and our room. We were on the 3rd fld a fair climb. Also,)
