Property was perfect for two people. Small kitchen was great to have. Location was awesome. Short walk to all the sites and restaurants. Very short walk to direct airport bus which was great for us. Would definitely stay if we find ourselves in Edinburgh again

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.

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.

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.

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.

Location centrally located and easy to access from train/airport. Royal mile is nearby and plenty of dining and sightseeing options in walking distance. Loved not having to keep a key and easy access with code. Will def stay again!

Destiny Scotland was fine, but the stairs. It was brutal carrying my luggage up four flights. There wasn't even a landing to unpack and carry half at a time. The luggage storage door was broken when I checked on it so I don't recommend that. The USB power is odd. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't even when the power switch is turned on. The team is responsive on the phone during work hours, but in the future, I'd prefer a stay with a lift and a front desk. Outside of that, the location was central to everything.

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