Great stay, beautiful apartment & very nice area close to everything. There’s no elevator so not for everyone, but it’s absolutely worth the climb up the stairs! Clean, spacious apartment with all the kitchen essentials you will need.

Clean, and centrally located to everything. I also appreciated the washer/dryer that was available.

Apt was very nice. Being on the 5th floor was a bit warmer and not very easy to get up to with bags. Staff was very attentive with any needs we had. Location is very convenient for busses, trains, trams and of course the royal mile.

The location is fabulous, as this property is located on the edge of old town and one block away from new town, a 3 minute walk from the train station, and very walkable to everywhere else in Edinburgh. The property itself is right above a couple of pubs, and is was a little lively on Friday and Saturday nights, but quiet on the weeknights. The entry/access system is wonderful. The apartment itself was well stocked and modern. Would stay there again.

The location is great, as it is around the corner from the train station. The Royal Mile is merely steps away. Tour busses are close by. And the apartment was just as lovely as described. The property management were amazing when I realized I had left my phone behind and allowed me access back in to retrieve it. All-in-all, was a great experience! Highly recommend!

The location of this property is great. We stayed in a 5th floor apartment which was very hot. The bed and pillows were very hard but we were provided with softer pillows when requested. Since there is no air conditioning, I would not recommend staying on the 5th floor during the warmer months.

Clear signage. Laundry included with washing powder was a lifesaver. Could stay a month! Very clean and lots of nice perks like coffee, tea etc.

The location is amazing! Within walking distance of the train station and most of the local attractions. Laundry on site was really convenient. Room was well equipped. The only downside was that the bed was a bit uncomfortable, and the tap in the kitchen would leak randomly and wake us up.

We had an excellent stay at Destiny Scotland Apartments. The room was in great shape, very clean, and with comfortable bed and amenities. Communication with the Destiny team was smooth and everything was setup before we arrive including access code for the building / apartment. Destiny runs a smooth operation. The location is outstanding. It sits very close to the Royal Mile, the train station, and the parks. I'll say it again. Location, Location, Location. The only downside of Destiny is that there is no lift/elevator. This can be a problem if you are on the upper floors.

Our flat was 5 flights up which was difficult...no lift. Elderly people could not manage as we barely did. Room itself was very good as was location.

Property is good, location is good. However, the checkin wasn’t pleasant. At last minute they ask for deposit (without it, they refuse to grand me the access). Even if this is a standard practice, why didn’t they mention this in the instruction email sent to me a day before? Instead, they have to do this to me at the last hour. They sent me a link to collect that money, my email server rejected the request. It looks too suspicious. I booked through Expedia, this was not mentioned when I book my stay nor in the checkin instruction a day before. One of sudden, they decide they want to charge me a deposit? I don’t feel very comfortable.

Lovely clean room in great location. Very quiet (we were on the back of the building, not the road side) and comfortable.

Perfect location right in the middle of all the attractions, restaurants and stores. Apartment was well equipped for making our own meals if we desired. We were on the 5th floor (top) so the stairs were a bit of a challenge with lugging the suitcases up and down

The apartment was quite small, but it was very clean and had everything we needed for our 4-night stay. The location was great! We were near the train station and airport buses. We also enjoyed being very close to a good restaurant. Communication with Destiny made our check-in very easy. We enjoyed our stay.
