8/10 Very good

Apartment was in a great location. Clean and tidy with everything you need for a stay.
Toby, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay on the Royal Mile!
P Diane, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location was amazing, every attraction is within a short few minutes walk. There were pubs, restaurants right below which we did not find noisy. Apartment had a lift, we stayed in apt 13 on the 5th floor with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a balcony with a nice view overlooking the Calton Hill. Checking in was easy with a pin code for the entry gate, lift and apt, felt very safe with CCTV around the common areas. Whole house was fully equipped with heaters, even for the bathroom floors. The 1 thing which was slightly weird was the living room which has a door, door stoppers should be available as the doors do not hold open, but it wasn't really bothering us. Will highly recommend this place if u are visiting edinburgh!
Anna Hui Choo, 4-night trip

Place was perfect for our family and right in the middle of Edinburgh. Would absolutely recommend and book for a return visit.

Paul, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location of this property is amazing. Literal steps from the Royal Mile and a fantastic pub right next door. Rooms worked well and were clean, and the kitchen provided essentials for anything you’d need. Definitely recommend!
James, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location right on the Royal Mile. It was very clean with all the amenities we needed. Would definitely stay there again.
Robert, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great self contained unit. Large common areas modern amenities. Everything worked. Great staff and communication. A very pleasant stay great location. Good value.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a great convenient spot. Comfortable and easy to communicate with while we were there. I would suggest grab bars in tub/shower for safety as it is a deep step in and out of shower.
Kathy, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

The location is excellent. My only issue is there was no air conditioning. The flat was very warm and uncomfortable. No one in my family slept well as it was very hot, even at night.
Clifford, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Apartment better than photos. Large sectional couch. Well stocked kitchen. Minimal noise from street pubs on street ended by 10pm. Loading zone right in front of apartment and we street parked right there as well the two days we were there. Street parking free from 6:30pm - 8am. Highly recommend without a doubt. Location right in the middle of the Royal Mile.
Agatha A, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Neat and spacious apartments right on the Royal Mile, walkable from several restaurants, shops, and attractions. Having a kitchen with all the necessary appliances and cutlery, and a washer/dryer was a huge benefit! Communication was clear and detailed, and everything was set up in advance to help us have a smooth experience. Luggage storage is available on the first floor. The property is well-secured with several layers of doors with access codes. One minor nitpick is all rooms within the unit had auto-closing doors, including the living room - this was a little inconvenient when moving around the unit.
Prashanth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Spacious and clean with exceptional view.
Betsy, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The apartment itself was fine and we liked the gated aspect. Check in was flawless and efficient. However, the noise level is pretty bad plus there is no air conditioning. When we were there , AC wasn’t needed, but if it’s hot I would not want to stay there. 5th floor, no air -not a good combo
Juanita, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The most comfortable sisters weekend

Very enjoyable and comfortable stay at Destiny Scotland. The apartment was ideal for our stay. It woll definitely be a recommendation
Elaina, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Right in the heart of Edinburgh!

Heaps of room, lovely set up, so close to everything which was fantastic! Would stay here again!
Alison, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

The postcode and the attached map on the Expedia website is inaccurate and misleading. It shows the property being nearly opposite the Holyrood parliament buildings. It is in fact right in the heart of the Royal Mile. I wanted somewhere a bit quieter to go to at the end of the day. In fact, the apartment was directly above two pubs and opposite a fringe venue.
Mark, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I highly recommend Destiny Scotland.
Brian, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved the location. The parking was a bit far away. Thought it was a bit claustrophobic because the doors were all set to close automatically
