I wish we knew it was 5 flights of stairs with no elevator. We thought the sofa was going to be bigger and/or pull out to a sofa bed, but its only a loveseat and a queen bed. Location is fantastic and everything else was nice.

This is in a great location. Lots to do right around the corner. It was clean and perfectly set up to enjoy the space. Codes and communication were sent timely making for very easy check-in checkout process.

good place to stay
location is great.
spotless place.
amenities are in great condition too.
downside: they require 300pounds deposit and if you reserve your space through hotels.com, you need to share your card information with them seperately otherwise your door code is not going to work. this is so annoying and needs to be improved.

This was a wonderful place to stay. Super close to the train station, within walking distance. Great space, with plenty of room. Perfect size kitchen. They have a very easy to use closet for storing your bags if you get there before check in or want to continue visiting the city after check out. My only complaint was that it was warm and I couldn’t keep the window open in the bedroom or I would hit my head on the window. Other than that, love this place and I would stay here again.

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.

Wonderful location
Our stay was wonderful! We had no trouble locating and accessing the apartment... the property even went above and beyond by calling us to let us know when the unit was ready a little earlier than expected. Location is phenomenal, everything was clean, and had everything we needed.the on-site laundry facility and baggage storage was a great bonus. Would stay again and recommend.

Really nice apartment at the heart of the city, very pricey and no mentions of the deposit required before access to apartment.

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!

Great location
The location was excellent. Easy to access the train station and Royal Mile. But no lift. This was quite a haul up 4 flights of stairs with luggage! Clean and adequate otherwise.

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.

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.
