My fiance and i both agree this has been our best hotel experience so far. The Staff are so nice, we were in the lounge almost daily for the free evening drinks, the local fruit cider is amazing. They helped us alot with recommendations, reservations and even with my proposal to my then girlfriend. We are gonna miss this place and the people.

Our room was mind-blowing. Please do yourself a favor and book the Guinness Room at the bow of the ship. The staff were great. We really enjoyed getting to know Alfonso, Rachel, Tony, and Will.

Destiny Scotland - Distillers House

West End, Edinburgh

Destiny Scotland - Distillers House offers self-catering accommodations in a period building in Edinburgh's West End. Guests can enjoy free WiFi at the property.

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. With its prime location, impeccable cleanliness, thoughtful amenities, and seamless communication, it comes highly recommended.

Apartment was nice and spacious and heated up nicely. It was very clean and had a washer. Staff was lovely and let me hold my bag in the luggage room downstairs until midnight on checkout day. Easy access to get in with the code. If you take the airport shuttle there is the Shandwick stop 4 min away.
