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!

Excellent high end appartment with everything we needed. Easy walk down the street to everything we needed. Quiet nights sleep considering how close it was to the main street. Very secure and safe. Only complaint was that we were not aware how difficult it was to find parking. Ended up a half mile from the appartment but we made the best of it.

We had a wee bit of an issue as the code to the room didn’t work so took us a while to get in but we were helped immediately by the team and it was sorted as quickly as possible. Appreciated the speedy assistance. Accommodation was huge, clean, comfortable and quiet.

Excellent high spec apartment

Excellent spacious apartment done to a very good spec. Only thing to consider is the noise from traffics if you’re in the flat on the bottom corner. Not drastic but I was aware of it.

Great place to stay in terms of access to the city. It’s near a transportation hub so access to getting places is easy. Great restaurants nearby and an easy walk to the castle, royal mile, etc…. The place was modern in stylings. The flat was on the 3rd floor (there is no lift) which wasn’t really an issue for us and we liked the space and view.

I absolutely loved my stay at Destiny Scotland’s Distillers House. The building is stunning, classic Edinburgh charm with modern, stylish interiors. My apartment was spacious, spotless, and beautifully furnished with high ceilings and all the comforts of home, including a full kitchen and washer/dryer. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk from Haymarket Station and close to major attractions like Princes Street and the Royal Mile, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful. Self-check-in was smooth, and communication with staff was prompt and professional. Everything felt well thought out, from the high-quality linens to the great shower and fully equipped kitchen. Though there’s no elevator, I had no issues with the stairs, but it’s something to keep in mind for those with mobility concerns. Overall, this was the perfect home base for exploring Edinburgh. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, stylish, and convenient place to stay.

Lovely relaxing stay

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.

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.
