Absolutely amazing apartment in a fantastic location. 5 minute walk from the airport express bus stop, which also stops by the Zoo. The castle and city centre within walking distance and great choice of restaurants just minutes away. The apartment was spotless and very well equipped. Unique keycode to enter the property, so no messing about with picking up keys. Would highly recommend this place over a hotel room. If we return to Edinburgh, I wouldn't hesitate staying there again.

Had 3 nights in apartment 3 Distillery House. What a wonderful building and apartment. Communication with Destiny Scotland was brilliant and we were able to access the apartment at midday, having been advised to call when we arrived. There is however a secure luggage store in apartment block had room not been ready. Great location. Spotlessly clean, lovely comfy bed and pillows. Everything you need in kitchen. Amazing shower with easy to use controls. Would have given overall 5 stars if there had been a lamp in lounge area, plug sockets in the dressing area and window that opens in bedroom. (It had been painted shut). We look forward to returning.

All the staff seem nice. We were able to leave our luggage as we arrived early.We were told by a guy in housekeeping the room would be ready around 1pm and we explain no rush. We would be checking in about three. We came back at 230pm covered in rain and hoped to check in. Sat outside the room and the housekeeper asked us to wait 5 minutes while the floor dried. No problem at all. We then phone -the only way to contact the reception and she told us we needed to check in. So now we are just sat here covered in rain staring at a door to our room that won’t activate for another 10 minutes.What’s the point in that. Silly corporate hospitality with zero room for flexibility-no making exceptions. No humans to talk to -just phone us.Doesn’t even matter how nice the room is now.First impression zero.

We had an incredible stay at Distillers House this past weekend! I made the booking immediately after purchasing my Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets nearly a year ago and it was perfect in every way. The communication from the Destiny team before our arrival was amazing - every query answered quickly, and all of our accessibility requirements met. The flat itself is in a perfect location and very beautiful inside. Cleaned to a very high standard, and well-equipped with every amenity you’d need to make this your home from home. The bed was comfy, bathroom enormous, beautiful shower and toiletries, and excellent kitchen appliances. We stayed only 2 night so didn’t need the washing machine but it was there just in case! It is a very secure building and easily accessible by public transit and walking from the city centre. I would absolutely stay here again!

This was a lovely apartment in a central location, with restaurants and shopping around the corner, and a decent walking distance to Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. The flat was spacious and comfortable and well equipped - we had everything we needed. Be prepared for stairs though - there is no lift. But the stairs are wide and carpeted, so quite manageable. It was a great stay and I would definitely recommend.

We had an amazing time. Close to everything and easy to get around. Used the hop on hop off bus that took us to all the sites. Bed was comfortable and living area spacious. Only fault was we couldn’t find a chopping board.On arrival we found the place easily and the keypad was simple. The photos on the site were exactly the same as they looked.I highly recommend this place.
