The overall stay was good. As we arrived after 5, i couldn’t locate the hair dryer in my room and the heated towel rack was not working, I contacted the property by WhatsApp as instructed from the property’s email. There was no response from the property until I checked out. We rented the apartment with 2 rooms, there should be one hair dryer in each room but only one was found. Since there are more baby boomers visitors, I recommend hand grip should be installed inside the shower unit. The location is good and convenient.

Perfectly situated apartment with very comfortable accommodations. The train and tram are within 1 block walking distance. The apt has a washer and dryer!!! Just be ready to walk 23 stairs up with your luggage to the first floor lift.

Be aware that if you book this hotel via Hotels,com or Expedia the hotel will email you around 18hrs before your check in to advise that you must telephone the office & provide credit card details for the security deposit. This is okay if you’re in the UK but might be an issue if you are on a long distance flight. You cannot access the apartment without first providing your details. There is no reception at the property, so be aware that you might find yourself stranded. The apartment itself is well appointed & comfortable. The lift is on the first floor which might be an issue for you if you have limited mobility (or heavy luggage). Location is excellent for walking everywhere & very close to train station.

Room was fine, but it was very nosy. Trams can be hear all night and there are homeless ppl and drunks (outside Macdonald) playing music all night and day , was horrible. Constantly shouting and base music all night, would recommend not to stay . Also, elevator is near and makes a racket of noise when in use.

Wonderful, pristine apartment. Would have liked to have been able to use the lift. Long climb up to the apartment. If use of the lift would be made available for guests, this place could be said to be perfect.

Nice accommodation very convenient to the train station. Room is spacious with fully stocked kitchen. Check in is easy with coded entry to main door and room. Marked down the rating from 5-star because the rooms looks out to a dirty back alley that is the location for a lot of unsightly dumpsters. Not only that, we were awoken at 0530 by a constant stream of very loud trucks dumping glass into these large bins. Even with the windows closed it was annoying when we’re trying to sleep. Other rooms that don’t face this alley are likely much better.

The apartment was great! Very clean inside and had everything we needed. It was a perfect location near the train station and between the old and new city. The main entrance could use a little improvement as it was not like the pic I saw when booking the apartment. Other than that all was fantastic!

The Destiny Apartments were clean and well kept. The location made for very easy access to pretty much wherever you want to go in Edinburgh with access to the tram within a 3 minute walk. Multiple historic and monuments, museums, and other amazing locations are also within a short walk. That said, the apartments can get hot in the summer months as there is no air conditioning (only heating) and the windows only open about 2 inches, making airflow through the apartment minimal. It is also immediately off a busy street and near several bars and nightlife, which are all active until well into the night, so if you’re looking for a quiet place - this is not it.

Comfortable, clean and a great location. The only negative was the room smelled of KFC and McDonald's with both outlets located downstairs.

The reason I didn't rate it as a 5 was that we were told there was a lift there. When we got there we had to climb 2 flights of stairs before the lift started. At 70 years old, we purposely picked a place with a lift. This was very deceiving and caused a lot of trouble.

The apartment was beautiful and the location could not be beat. Steps from restaurants and parks and close to the action of Princes street. However a couple of things were less than ideal. First, the dryer was inoperable. Clothes would was and the heat of the dryer would come on, but the clothes wouldn’t dry. Second, the windows let in a significant amount of light at night, this combined with no fans, made sleep a bit challenging. Overall a really nice place but a couple of improvements couple be made to be an outstanding experience.

Didn't send email check-in. Air conditioning didnt work. Room was too hot. I asked for sheets, but instead I got a fan. Washer dryer hard to find. Hot water was not hot. There is no guide to work out what level to get out of escalator. Blinds did not block out the light coming through the window, which i had to open due to heat. Very noisy at night and in the morning. Good location though. Light in window

Destiny Scotland - St. Andrew's Square was the perfect location for our visit to Edinburgh. Less than 5 minutes from the train station as well as other transportation (Airlink bus to the airport was especially handy). Plenty of restaurants in the area - Rose Street was our favorite place to find dinner. Close to Sainsbury's for groceries as well. The apartment had everything we could need for a long-term stay and was comfortable enough. The washer/dryer combo wasn't as useful as we would've liked - it took a long time to work through the cycles and was noisy. But overall, we would stay here again.

The apartment was lovely and in an excellent location close to Waverley train station, the bus station, tram and Princes Street. It was comfortably furnished and well equipped. I really enjoyed my stay. The only things to be aware of are the stairs up to the first floor which were only an issue when I had to drag a heavy suitcase up. I also had to pay to store luggage at the station as there is no storage at the property itself.

We stayed in a Superior Studio, and it was our favorite lodging of the vacation. The separate living area with a large sectional and a table for 4 made the space quite functional for us. The sectional had a couple of minor stains on it, but it was clean. The washing machine confused me at first, but that always happens in Europe. The confusion was my own fault, since the instructions were pretty clear. The hotel provided laundry detergent, which was nice. The washing machine is in the room, so you don't have to share it with other hotel guests. The "dryer" is a drying rack, and it worked fine. The bathroom was comfortable. The location was very convenient. We never met any hotel staff, but check-in went fine. The hotel texted a code to me about an hour before check-in, and I was able to use the code to get into the building and to get into my room. I liked not have a room key to keep track of. The rooms are above a couple of fast food restaurants, and people always seemed to be hanging out in front of the restaurants. It didn't feel dangerous, but we did see people hanging out on the street whenever we entered or left the building. Not a problem in my opinion. I'd definitely stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was incredibly central, easy to find and I liked the no contact aspect of it. You just receive a code for the door the day before you arrive - all very easy! The apartment was clean, modern and well maintained. My only gripe was although there was more than enough room for a king size or even super king bed, there was only a double bed (and a small double at that!) so my partner and I struggled a bit with that and for two nights my partner slept on the sofa instead because there was more room. But other than that a very lovely stay and I would highly recommend
