Well equipped room for all necessities

5.0 / 10.0

Lovely spacious place. Easy to arrive to. You can’t turn on the lights in the bathroom without turning the noisy thing on. Other than that it is the perfect apartment stay. So close to waverley station.

5.0 / 10.0

Hotel is nice, staff friendly, good location, only negative feedback is the bed. The bed in our room was very uncomfortable. Had no cushion at all.

3.0 / 10.0

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.

4.0 / 10.0

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.

4.0 / 10.0

Perfect location and room was spacious. Make sure you can walk several flights of stairs carrying your bags.

5.0 / 10.0

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.

5.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

My apartment was impeccable. The faucets were shining! The bathroom and kitchen were spotless. I was very impressed by the quality of the toiletries (sad that they were fixed in the shower and I couldn't take a bit with me!) and the generosity of the kitchen supplies: plenty of coffee and tea! For a small space it had absolutely everything I could have needed: hair dryer, safe, ironing board, every essential kitchen necessity: colander, cutting knives, measuring cup, tea pot and kettle, toaster etc. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the check-in was effortless. I am very low-tech but their email was clear: arrive, put in your code at the front door (same one for your room!) and that's it. It was easy to leave our luggage for the day. I had a question and someone answered me immediately from the intercom at the front door. It was a 3 minute walk from the Waverley train station and a mere block from the Old Town - I couldn't have picked a better location. I highly, highly recommend these apartments and have no idea how I could even suggest any improvements!

6.0 / 10.0

This place truly boasts a perfect location – we were able to walk to all the major attractions and felt right in the heart of everything. You simply can't beat the convenience. However, our experience was significantly dampened by the poor communication regarding check-in instructions. We received very little information upfront, leading to confusion and a stressful start to our stay. It felt like we had to actively chase down details, which isn't ideal after a long journey. Additionally, it's important to note for future guests that there is no elevator. While this wasn't a dealbreaker for us, it's definitely something to be aware of, especially if you have heavy luggage or mobility issues. We had to carry our bags up several flights of stairs, which was quite a workout. If the management can improve their communication process, this would be an outstanding place to stay. The location alone makes it incredibly appealing.

Like all the above. Didnt like - no elevator, the sofa at the middle of the room doesn't live a place to move in the room. After we move it the situation improve

10.0 / 10.0

The property was great and location was good. Had no trouble. It is a walk up and is on the third floor. All the sites are nearby and for three nights was perfect for us

10.0 / 10.0

The apartment was equipped with so many things it made being there so comfortable. I loved the apartment style living and spacious living room. I would’ve preferred to not be in the top floor since there is only stairs. The free laundry was the best thing ever. Everything was clean except the shower had a little mold. Everything else was excellent including the area and eateries close by.

4.0 / 10.0

Do not stay here, it is not safe. We were walking in on in the morning by a lady who used the pin pad to get in, as theres no way to lock the door from the inside. She didnt announce herself so i have no idea who she was. The toilet was also filthy when we arrived. Expedia wont allow me to say what was all over the toilet but use your imagination. Just spend a few extra dollars and stay somewhere else.

Attentive host, great location. Great amenities.

Great stay on the 5th floor was tricky with cases! But overall great stay! So convenient and clean

10.0 / 10.0

Was a great apartment friendly and easily accessible staff and great location

10.0 / 10.0

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

8.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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!

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

No lift but room was awesome!

3.0 / 10.0

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

10.0 / 10.0

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.

5.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

Clean, and centrally located to everything. I also appreciated the washer/dryer that was available.

4.0 / 10.0

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.

5.0 / 10.0

The apartment is great except a bit high. Need to climb 5/F for my apartment.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

Great location. Walkable to Old town and New town.

6.0 / 10.0

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.

6.0 / 10.0

Property is good, location is good. However, the checkin wasn’t pleasant. At last minute they ask for deposit (without it, they refuse to grand me the access). Even if this is a standard practice, why didn’t they mention this in the instruction email sent to me a day before? Instead, they have to do this to me at the last hour. They sent me a link to collect that money, my email server rejected the request. It looks too suspicious. I booked through Expedia, this was not mentioned when I book my stay nor in the checkin instruction a day before. One of sudden, they decide they want to charge me a deposit? I don’t feel very comfortable.

8.0 / 10.0

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.

4.0 / 10.0

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.

5.0 / 10.0

Excellent location. Lots of stairs and no lift. Luggage storage very handy. Excellent communication with destiny Scotland. Very clean apart from a few small bits, bathroom door should be wiped down as so close to sink etc. Overall an enjoyable stay and would go back
