- Sebastian (10/5): Beautiful and very comfortable apartment in a GREAT location. Top quality service. - The apartment is amazing !!. Big, nicely decorated and very well equipped. Very bright with lot´s of windows and nice views as it is in the top floor. From the bedroon you could even see the sea. The kitchen has all that you need and more . Beaufiul living room and a nice dinning table for 6 persons. Location is GREAT !! Perfect.
All was in perfect conditions and staff from Destiny Scortland were very kind before, duirng and after our stay. It was a real pleausure to deal with them. Very good service. I would definatel stay again and reccomend this property to others. the only thing I could say is that the third floor by staris if you have a lot of heavy luggage it may be a little bit tough. But the apartment and location are definately worth the effort.
- Giada Valentina (9/5): - Struttura moderna e attrezzare anche nella zona girono. Posizione super.
- Byrne (10/5): - Absolutely everything. It was easy to locate, absolutely spotless, perfect location and great communication from staff. Can't complain!
- Ian (9/5): Immaculate apartment with everything you need. - Very clean and tidy. Excellent location. Only because limit mobility, we were in top apartment and found the stairs extremely hard work up to the third floor.
- Consuelo (10/5): Muy buen alojamiento para ver Edimburgo - Está decorado con muy buen gusto y tanto los sofás como las camas muy cómodas. La ubicación está muy bien: muy cerca del centro para ir andando. Hay bares cerca Que solo hubiera un baño
- Marco (10/5): -
- William (10/5): Another excellent stay - The property in an great location and quiet,easy access to everything the city has to offer and some great restaurants close by,our fourth stay here and will be back. We also had some amazing weather during our stay which made it even better. Love everything about Hill Street nothing to dislike.
- Fido (10/5): - Apartament bardzo duży , czysty, wygodny,. Wieczorem odpoczynek przy kominku. Rewelacja polecam . Proponowałabym umieszczenie pod prysznicem maty antypoślizgowe
- Carl Harrison (10/5): - Location. Excellent location, fantastic car park space.
- Amy (10/5): Highly recommend, can’t wait to come back! - New Town location was excellent - perfect proximity to all the food and attractions we wanted. Very clean unit and cute street, safe neighborhood. The shower drained too slowly. Doorstops would be nice to hold doors open, since they close on their own.
- Johwi (8/5): 위치가 좋은 아파트먼트 - 각방으로 나눠져 있어서 좋았어요 좀더 깔끔한 침구류?
- Vincent (9/5): Appartement agréable très bien situé - Emplacement idéal pour visiter New town, old town, dean village... tout est accessible facilement à pieds et les transports sont très proches.
Appartement agréable et très bien équipé, bonne literie.
Pratique également, la possibilité du dépose bagages à quelques pas. Fenêtres très mal isolées
- ELENA (8/5): -
- Irina (9/5): -
- Brand (8/5): We had a really nice stay here and overall it was great but the couple of things mentioned above would put me off stayin - The location was great, it was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. There was only one couch in the living area which wasn’t enough for 4 adults and 1 child. The shower over the bath with the sloping ceiling was awkward to get in and out of. No handrails made it even more difficult for my elderly parents. No plug points near the mirrors in the bedrooms for doing your hair.
- Claes-Göran (9/5): Vi är mycket nöjda ! Överträffade förväntningarna. - —— ——/
- Susana (9/5): - Lo nuevo que estaba todo, lo limpio, la ubicación, la comodidad de la entrada con código, en general un 10! Por decir algo que no es accesible para gente incapacitada de movilidad, en realidad son tres pisos. Pero pocas escaleras
Y le faltaría espejo en la habitación principal
- Lynne (9/5): -
- Laura (8/5): Great location with children, clean tidy and easy check in - Clean tidy great location with three children Could hear a lot of the outside noise other than that was great stay
- Massieu (10/5): -
- Carla (8/5): -
- Gillian (10/5): - The apartment was excellent - great location, good facilities, excellent communication from the host. We travelled with our toddler and the high chair and cot were excellent and very clean. Nothing!
- Magdalena (10/5): -
- Karla (10/5): Un muy buen lugar para descansar y visitar Edimburgo - Ubicación, espacios y limpieza Que no hubiera elevador para subir las maletas hasta el último piso.
- Nathalie (10/5): - Très bel appartement, spacieux et confortable.
L'appartement est idéalement bien placé pour visiter la ville, il est à côté du tram pour rejoindre l'aéroport et aussi à côté de l'agence pour déposer les bagages si besoin.
- Jessene Grace (10/5): - The place is big and nice. We have all what we need. Staff are good also, as they allow us to leave our baggages in their office
- arianna (9/5): Ottimo soggiorno - moderno, pulito, fornito di tutto il necessario, molto grande La mancanza di tapparelle per una questione di sicurezza, anche se la via è molto tranquilla e silenziosa
- Shauna (10/5): -
- Andy (10/5): We had a wonderful stay. Thank you. - Very responsive host. Easy to follow check in and check out instructions. Great accommodations for 4 adults.
- Lucija (8/5): - Izvrsna lokacija Moglo je biti cisce
- Dan (10/5): -
- Mehmet Ali (8/5): - Location, cleaning, comfort is great. They were kind and frindly. Only disappoitment is, there were 2 bathroom on the photos but there is only 1 in the flat. When I write this, they said “we can’t promise about it. Then you should use correct photo.
- Jan (10/5): Just amazing! - Het was erg groot en echt super mooi de bedden lagen ook erg lekker en het was gewoon overall een comfortabel appartement Alles was goed geen tegenvallers
- Ayesha (9/5): Perfect for a short trip to Edinburgh - Great location, lots of space, clean and airy
- CBE21 (10/5): Une très bonne adresse pour visiter facilement Édimbourg - Communication en messagerie sécurisée avec l’agence gestionnaire du code digicode
Confort plus particulièrement de la literie et appartement 2 pièces spacieux avec une grande salle de bains et produits de toilette et de vaisselle fournis
Propreté des lieux très appréciable avec linge changé au bout de 3 jours sur un séjour de 7 jours
À proximité des lieux à visiter d’Edimbourg ancienne ville et nouvelle ville
À proximité des transports en commun bus et tram plus particulièrement pour l’aéroport
Possibilité de laisser ses bagages à l’agence qui se trouve à même pas 5 minutes et ouverte de 9h à 17h en fonction de ses horaires de vol
Petite supérette à proximité ouverte jusqu’à 22h et de nombreux bars et restaurants dans les rues voisines
- Gilles (9/5): Bon séjour dans un bon emplacement. Bruit de rue important dans les chambres coté rue. - Qualité du logement de manière général et la situation géographique odeur de peinture - chambres coté rue sont bruyantes
- Hrund (8/5): Nice location, nice apartment, great communication. would definatly stay again! - Great communication, good instructions, good condition of apartment, nice and clean. The location was really good and I would reccomend. The value was also good. I had seen that there was not an elevator but didn't realise we sould be so hugh up. We were on the top floor so there was quite a walk up many stairs with kids and 5 suitcases. Thats the only thing I did not like, had to go up 4 floors to get to our apartment. Maybe that was written somwhere but I didn't notice.
- Sorin (10/5): Perfeita!!! - Excelente apartamento, muito confortável e limpo!!
Ótima localização, perfeito, igual as fotos. Voltarei.
- Sharon (3/5): Disrupted stay close to sights - Great location, for a short 3 day break. The apartment is a short walk to some lovely restaurants, shops and the sights of Edinburgh. Easy to find the property and to enter into the property, clear instructions.
Beds were comfortable nice, clean apartment. Whilst we were there the engineer needed to change the thermostat which was fine. I told destiny about a peculiar smell.
It was confirmed there was a gas leak but only 0.2 ? So in safe perimeter?
After a few hours two engineers searched the apartment, this disrupted our stay, but they couldn't find the leak. We were advised it was safe to stay for our last night, this was after tea time and we were very tired, so we stayed.
However, later on in the evening whilst watching the TV we could then gas smell in the main part of the apartment. I informed destiny no response. Still waiting...
I turned off the heating as instructed by the engineer and opened windows, we had no heating or hot water, at first light we left.
I have emailed destiny via booking.com but no response. I just hope that the gas leak is sorted and other people have been informed.
- Sarah (5/5): Disappointing sadly in terms of comfort. - Very uncomfortable pillows.
Poor faulty bath where water drained away, this was disappointing when a bath was much looked forward to for my elderly mother in law.
- jean-francois (10/5): -
- Amine (8/5): - Great appartment, very central very, comfortable. Windows too thin, did not sleep well because you can hear everything going on outside on the road.
- Gitte (10/5): Zeer ruim, mooi en rustig appartement. - Zeer mooi appartement op een perfecte ligging (vlakbij princess street, vele bars en restaurants, en toch zeer rustig)
Ontzettend ruim. Er konden volgens ons gemakkelijk nog 2 of 3 bedden bij.
Heel comfortabele bedden. Goede douche.
Ook fijn dat we de rugzakken vlakbij mochten stockeren tot we onze vlucht terug hadden.
We hadden een echt duplex-gevoel.
- Alison (8/5): We had a lovely time and the apartment was very nice but just lacking in a few areas. - The property was very clean, modern and in an excellent location. The bed in the master bedroom wasn’t very big and it wasn’t very comfortable. There was no mirror in the room and although it was a lovely room it could look amazing with the correct furniture.
- Jen (10/5): -
- nuria (9/5): - Era un apartamento precioso, muy bien equipado y en muy buena situación.
Estaba todo súper limpio, y el baño nuevo. La única pega que puedo poner es la cama de la habitación de arriba, el colchón era bastante incómodo.
- Muaña (10/5): -
- Sara (9/5): Muy cómodo y excelente ubicación - Muy cómodo y excelente ubicación
- Maria E (10/5): Increíble estadía. - Absolutamente todo. Instalaciones 100/100. Nada.
Solamente estaría bien dejar sal y pimienta y algo de aceite porque creo que uno si va pocos días no compra esas cosas porque no lo venden en tamaño pequeño.
- Antonio Ferrer (8/5): Excelente ubicación - La ubicación y limpieza La cama muy blanda

- Sylvia (10/5): -
- Emma (9/5): Location great as right in the centre, apartment was great, sun even came out! - It was a lovely apartment, lovely furnishings and so clean. It dident have a mirror in bigger bedroom only ceiling height ones which look lovely but can’t access them.
- Michelle (8/5): Nice self contained flat - Location was excellent 👌 No parking near available and only one sofa in main TV room for 4 people. Photos on booking.com looked much bigger.
- Jules (10/5): Perfect - It was central, easy walking distance to all we wanted to do. It was clean, well equipped and lovely comfortable beds. Nothing
- Matteo (8/5): -
- Elizabeth (4/5): - No hot water or heating had to leave on morning of checkout without showers. We also found tge beds were very hard and uncomfortable
- Rosemarie (9/5): - Great location..very close to the shops, walking distance to train station, Edinburgh Castle, .Royal Mile etc. . Love the fireplace, bathtub and big kitchen
- Stefano (6/5): Bello ma rapporto qualità prezzo non ottimo - Posizione Pochi utensili per cucinare, mancanza di prodotti per la pulizia

- Hugo (9/5): Excelente ubicación - Estaba muy limpio y sobre todo la ubicación. A un paso de todo. Nada
- jo (10/5): -
- Elle (10/5): -
- Lily (10/5): -
- Paulo (8/5): -
- Vicki (6/5): Ok but overpriced for what it is - This was a nice property in a good location. No way was it worth £250 a night. It was basic and clean but for that price I would expect some kind of luxury. The kitchen bin also didn’t even open when the lid was pushed down so had to physically lift the lid to use it. There were also stains in the oven which would easily be removed with some scrubbing. Just little things like that aren’t acceptable when a property costs that much. It was ok but wouldn’t stay there again
- Stuart (8/5): - Great location,
Relaxed setting
- Rizza (10/5): I am so delighted and overly satisfied! I didn't regret booking this place! - The cleanest, convenient and cosy apartment I ever booked ! Location is superb too! Spacious and everything you need e.g kitchenware, laundry pods available. Will definitely stay here again when i visit Edinburgh! Nothing. All good!
- Analia (10/5): -
- sullivan (8/5): Excellent accommadation in a central location - The location and setting of the accommadation is excellent. It would have been more practical if each bedroom had a mirror.
- rabxfid (8/5): - Good Location to travel around Edinburgh. Close to cafes and other transport facilities to get around. The apartment is spacious. Safe, with dedicated lock code for your apartment. Check in instructions were clear and straightforward.
- Asim (8/5): Good stay - The location, quite close to the city centre.
Size of the rooms. As my flat was on the top floor I had to go up six flights of stairs which along with my mother was a difficult task as she has a knee problem and it was difficult for her.
Note - any one booking, if they have members who have mobility issues must request and ask destiny scotland to.give them.either flat 1, 2,3
- Sharon (10/5): Had a lovely stay, once again at a Destiny Scotland apartment. Very comfortable stay, and near the centre of Edinburgh . - Lovely, clean spacious apartment
- Jane (10/5): comfortable overnight stay and wish it was longer. - Easy access to property, great communication with the Destiny Team. Superb location and apartment exceeded our expectations in every way. Lack of parking, however, discounted parking was available within a 15 min walk.
- Luke (8/5): - Able to check in early as room was available. Great Location and great facilities.
- Ilargi (10/5): Buena ubicación y confort - Salón amplio con una cocina completa y con buen menaje. Cafetera y servicio de té. Buenas habitaciones y baño. Buena localización. Para acceder al baño hay que subir unas escaleras y para una de las habitaciones hay que bajarlas.
- Matt (10/5): Fantastic place to stay very clean and not far from all the places you want to visit - The location and the size
- Damaris (8/5): -
- Georgina (10/5): - So clean and tidy, all the amenities we needed The very last minute notice about quite a hefty deposit less than 24 hours before our arrival wasn’t ideal and quite stressful. More notice would have been appreciated, even just a few days. But other than that, they were very attentive and helpful
- Agnarsdóttir (9/5): -
- John (9/5): -
- Fiona (10/5): Excellent - Plenty space for 4 of us Lack of mirrors, was one in the bathroom& one in one of the bedrooms but no socket beside it for doing your hair, the mirror that was in the living room was above the fireplace but you would have needed to be over 8ft to be able to see in it.
- Michela (9/5): -
- Lisa (8/5): Great size and location, but very noisy at night - Great location, close to transport links and central attractions. Great size rooms, living area was comfortable enough for 4 adults and a toddler. Kitchen provided enough for basic cooking for a few days. Heating worked great and kept the apartment warm in November. Key codes rather than keys was great so our party could do what they wanted and didn't have to worry about who had keys. The windows are single pain, they keep the rain out, they were slightly breezy but with the blinds down and heating on, it didn't make too much difference. It is noisy though, whilst not next to a bar people obviously need to walk past when ending a night, noise went on until 2am some nights, bring earplugs if staying at the weekend, and watch your feet on the street the following morning. Kitchen doesn't have much in the way of workspace, but if you're only doing the basics it's not too bad.
