I had a wonderful stay at this apartment in Edinburgh for two days. The location is absolutely perfect—right in the heart of the city, making everything easily reachable on foot. Shops, restaurants, and major attractions were all just moments away, which made exploring the city incredibly convenient. The apartment itself was comfortable and well-situated, making my short stay very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to experience Edinburgh at its best.

Great apartment for a visit to Edinburgh

Lovely apartment, ideally located in the city centre. Warm and cosy for a December stay, well appointed and with a few basic provisions for arrival.

A small thing, but it would be great if the sockets had USB ports.

Amazing location! Would definitely choose this place again.

The cleanliness of the apartment was spotless, the location is absolutely amazing. The persons from the office were very nice and helpful. Would definitely choose this place again.

The bathtub glass doesn't fully cover so every time we took showers the floor got soaked. The heating in the bedroom was not working very well.

I would recommend to family & friends as good value, excellent location.

Location fabulous. Quiet. Well kitted out. Easy access with key code. Lift

Thermostat for CH was in a small space which reached target temperature quickly. The larger bedroom and living area with single glazed windows tended to be much cooler

If I knew the mattress was upgraded, even with a topper, I would recommend it to anyone.

Easy to enter; I liked the neighborhood; the apartment was very clean; I liked the pillows on the bed.

The mattress really needs to be upgraded. It is a very uncomfortable spring mattress.

Cosy flat super location

Location is excellent, 10 minutes walk from Waverley rail station, local attractions, city centre. Easy access to property, only a door code. Quiet neigbourhood, plenty of restaurants in the vicinity. Flat is very clean.

Mattress could have been a bit more comfortable.

A great location for a good price, and great amenities.

we did breakfast on our own. It was a large studio appartment. well appointed. It has its own washer/dryer machine. Kitchen had pots and pans. a dishwasher and microwave.

Not enough instructions about how to use the washer/dryer unit. Theey are not that common in the US. Only met the maintanence man when he came to work on the washer/dryer unit. Talked to people about entry but never met a person.

8.0 / 10.0

The apartment was fantastic! It was close to the train station, museums, Royal Mile.

The apartment was located on a small alley off the larger street. I would not have felt comfortable alone at night even if it is a super safe area.

10.0 / 10.0

great location, easy to find and walking distance to lots of things to see and do

A washer/dryer would have been welcome, especially as we were there for 4 days in rainy weather

Great location and comfortable apartment.

Great location, only 5 minutes from Princes Street and 10 minutes from the Royal Mile. Good facilities in a good sized 1 bedroom apartment. Easy instructions on how to enter the property and for a reasonable extra charge, secure parking only 2 minutes away.

Would stay again at a Destiny location but I would do a bit more research on location

Have stayed at a Destiny location in Edinburgh a couple years ago and loved it. First was Hanover, this time was New Town. This location was off an alley but still close to most everything. The rooms are nice sized, there is full kitchen and laundry which is awesome 🤩

Other than the homeless man sleeping at the stoop and talking and being noisy in the middle of the night, we tried to look past that. It was overall a good place to stay.

Will not stay here again

Nice very knew apartment Very clean Well stocked kitchen

There was a homeless person sleeping at our door entrance each day we were there-we felt unsafe The entrance is down a dirty alley way with many filthy dumpster There needs to be directions on how to use the shower There was a fire drill at 8am on Monday due to a person staying there set it off -the staff did not know how to deal with this- it took the fire department 33 minutes to shut the shrilling alarm-my ears rang for a day We stood outside in cool temps for 28 minutes-when they could let us back in all we got was a very soft spoken sorry at the entrance door. I would have thought at least they could buy us a coffee from a local place or even send us a text with an apology note

Lovely apartment for a short stay… not as homely as you might want for a longer stay but a good base.

It was very clean and comfortable.. with pretty much everything you need for a short stay. The small back road it was on was not particularly nice.. and, as many have said, there is a homeless man lying in the next door way which is very off putting. Made my adult children anxious about coming home late alone. He was no trouble.. didn’t engage with us or anything. And of course there is nothing the owners can do. The overall area though was perfect and lovely. Lots of cafes, shops restaurants etc and on walking distance to most things in central Edinburgh.

The back alley it was on.

Comfortable and clean.

Quiet and close to everything

A homeless man slept right at the front door even though we did feed him.

8.0 / 10.0

A large comfortable apartment in central location.

Not applicable, was self catering.

Access is via a lane with cobblestones so difficult to wheen suitcases. Also a couple of rough sleepers in the lane.

Good location for sightseeing

We were able to access our apartment a little early which was good as they could give us directions as it is tricky to find. It was lovely and modern, there were some stairs to navigate then a very small lift to the second floor. Our apartment was very quiet. The location was good, lots of restaurants nearby and we could walk to the main tourist attractions.

When we first entered the toilet contained a massive wad of hair and other rubbish that was easily flushed away. Presumably left by the cleaner after cleaning the bathroom. As noted by others, the dryer is tricky. Despite it being left overnight it still wouldn’t open, luckily Google helped out. The plug in the bath kept popping open, as often as every few seconds. Did not make for a relaxing bath. We booked a room with an extra large double bed; everywhere else we’ve booked this means a King size, this one was a Queen only.

8.0 / 10.0

A well equipped apartment in a fantastic location.

The apartment was clean, spacious and well-equipped. It was located in a very walkable, lovely area of the New Town, close to stores and restaurants.

1. The washer/dryer combination door stuck closed. There were no instructions of any type in the apartment to assist with either the correct operation of the appliance or to fix the door, (a maintenance person happened to be in the building and showed us the “release”). 2. Hooks for coats in the front hall would be helpful.

5.0 / 10.0

Great option for a long term stay & you have NO car.

Spacious, renovated, modern with an excellent bathroom.

Horrible mattress…similar to a thin, springy sofa sleeper mattress and very thin pillows. Surprising since the apartment is so nice & modern. No a/c, but they brought us a fan. If you have a car & park in the nearby St. James Quarter Car Park, be sure to take the YELLOW lift to exit. This is the closest to the apartment. Google maps may take you out the wrong area. Entrance to the apartment is in an alley and a Homeless man was sleeping next to the door.

Convenient location, nice apartment, clean

The location was close to trams/buses/2 deck city tour buses. We were able to walk from the apartment to Arthurs seat and all over. The apartment was very nice, roomy, separate bathrooms . Nice kitchen.

Had a lot of trouble getting info about our unit number. The offices were closed over the weekend, and weren't actually in this building. Prior emails (from US)but these did not go to my email account. Got a message to check spam, but no help. We could get into front door with last four of my phone number but didn't know our unit number. This was a very expensive place, our highest on our month long trip and started to get worried we couldn't get in. After several minutes an email arrived in junk mail folder. Since they wont send this info very far ahead of time its nerve wracking to think you wont be able to get in.
