The shower and sink drainage system is blocked water inthe showers was nearly over flowing,the sinks had problems draining. I would suggest that there must be hair blocking the pipes and would recommend pouring some bottles of drainage cleaner down there

It was a great location, but overall, it was not the best value.
Location was excellent.
Hard to regulate the heat. One bathroom for two bedrooms. The price was a little high considering there was no breakfast included.

Avoid if you like a reasonable sleep
Neat and tidy.
NOISE. Don't stay here unless you have good ear plugs or are a very sound sleeper. Even the under 30s in our family were disturbed during the night. Place needs double windows. The loungeroom also had continuous noise from the ventilation.

Excellent location; highly recommend
Excellent location on Royal Mile. Bathrooms a little on the small side but good quality finishes. Kitchen well stocked. All the bedrooms have heavy fire doors that cannot be propped open. Otherwise the property was excellent and would stay here again.
Bedroom doors were heavy fire doors that cannot be propped open.

Excellent place to stay for a family of four who wants to be on the Royal Mile.
Great location on the Royal Mile. It felt very safe and secure. Apartment was very clean and modern appearing. Large deck with great views.
The beds could’ve been more comfortable. Noise from the pubs below was quite loud at night.

Convenient but too noisy to sleep!
All amenities we needed, very clean. Great location.
It needs double glazing! The Royal Mile is very busy with loud, late opening bars and noisy traffic in the early hours too. Even with windows closed the noise was unbearable. None of us slept well at all.

We enjoyed our stay, perfect location, very clean!
The perfect location with everything within walking distance. Very cute, clean and comfortable accommodation. We especially appreciated finding two fans to use!
All the natural light was beautiful.
The shower in the main bedroom was very slick, we had to put a towel down to stand on to prevent slipping.
Nothing else was an issue.

It was really wonderful feel very confident recommending this accommodation as a fab place to stay in Edinburgh
Great location, very clean. Had stayed before with some friends in November time so liked cosy apartment
Only complaint was in warm weather bedrooms got too hot and there was only one fan. I tried replying to a to a message I got asking if all was ok, and asked for another fan, but email was bumped back from booking.com. I should have messaged Destiny properties direct

Very central, very clean & well equipped
We were emailed a code before we arrived which served to enter the building, the lift & our room.
The pillows & the sofa let down the comfort.
The pillows were quite thin and not in keeping with this excellent accommodation!
Also the sofa wasn’t comfortable to sit on. Very hard.
9.0 / 10.0
Fabulous location, pleasant accommodations.
The location could not have been more convenient: out the door and onto the Royal Mile. The apartment was fairly well equipped and provided a decently sized gathering area. It was clean and comfortable.
Somehow, the door code was not sent to us before check in. We texted and emailed, but received no answer. We had to resort to waiting outside and asking people coming out what the gate code was and then trying the code on each door until we found our apartment. Once inside, all was fine.
8.0 / 10.0
Great location with nice kitchen/ding area; surprisingly quiet.
poor lighting in bathroom
entrance at ground level is shockingly disgraceful. Add some lights and flooring. Feels like you are entering a basement.
provide hold opens for doors to eliminate banging and having to open the doors every time you go in and out.

Disappointing Stay – Poor Service and No Accountability
I stayed in Flat 5 at Destiny Scotland – Royal Mile for 3 nights (24–27 May 2025) and paid £1500, expecting a premium experience. Unfortunately, the stay was far from acceptable.
The apartment was not properly cleaned, which triggered allergic reactions like itching and sneezing among our group. The WiFi and TV did not work at all, making it difficult to relax or enjoy our stay. One bedroom was unusable due to hot air blowing in constantly from the neighboring building’s external air conditioning units, making it feel suffocating.
We also had a full rubbish bin with no clear guidance on where to dispose of it, and despite repeated efforts to contact the team by phone, no one answered.
To make matters worse, when staff finally attempted a visit, they spoke to a 7-year-old child who didn’t speak English fluently and then left without attempting to reach me directly—despite having my contact number. This was later used as an excuse to deny compensation.
I raised all these issues during the stay and after, only to receive a dismissive response and complete refusal to offer any goodwill gesture or refund. Their customer service was slow, unhelpful, and defensive throughout.
For a property marketed as luxury and priced at this level, the service was well below standard. I would not recommend this accommodation to others and strongly suggest looking elsewhere where guest care and accountability actually matter.
