Guest Reviews

• Judith (10/5): Just perfect. - So close to the train station and easy to find/access. The washing machine was super handy too. The lift only starts from the first floor so one flight of stairs to carry the cases up. Our fault for having such heavy cases.
• Cherry (9/5): -
• MATTHEW (9/5): Great Experience - Location was great. Communication around access was clear, everything you could need was included. The elevator was right outside the door of the room I was in and it’s kind of loud. You can hear it going anytime someone is using it. You get used to it though.
• Julie (8/5): -
• Marilyn (10/5): - Great location, clean, seamless check in, great shower, all appliances in good condition. Would stay there again. Washer dryer was hard to figure out.
• cmwags216 (10/5): Another Great Destiny Scotland Apartment - This was my second time using Destiny Scotland to secure a comfortable and affordable place to stay in Edinburgh. This studio apartment was clean and well taken care of. There was a view of some of Old Town and it is only about a half block from the train station, Princes Park and St. Andrew Square. There are plenty of eating establishments to choose from. The directions for using the laundry facilities were the best that I have found in the places I have rented. It's very different from the U.S.! If I should return to Edinburgh for an extended stay, I certainly would check to see if Destiny Scotland had something available that fit my needs.

• Chris (7/5): Das Zimmer zum Hof - Da wir einen frühen Morgenflug hatten, waren wir froh, so nah an der Tramhaltestelle zu wohnen. Die Einrichtung des kleinen Apartments ist modern und sehr ansprechend. Es wird eine Waschmaschine angeboten. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und die Wohnung war sehr sauber. Zentrale Lage in Edinburgh Nähe Waverly Station/Princess Street. Die lange Treppe in den 1. Stock wo sich der Lift befindet war äusserst mühsam mit unserem schweren Gepäck. Hohe Lärmemissionen durch die diversen Klimaanlagen im Innenhof, die sich direkt vor unserem Fenster befanden und die ganze Nacht in Betrieb waren. (Schlecht geschlafen) Es kann kein Fenster geöffnet werden, da die Wohnung nur Fenster zum Hof hat, dadurch teilweise stickige Luft im Zimmer. Zudem waren einen Stock tiefer auch noch die Handwerkern zugegen.
• michelle (9/5): Great location - The apartment was very close to attractions like waverly bridge, royal mile and princes street. The apartment was well equiped to make a simple meal We didnt like the stairs to the lift with heavy luggage
• Paul (10/5): - Location. Apartment was great. Check in instructions were easy to follow. Nil
• Forrester (10/5): Perfect property in the best location. - Perfect location. Everything we needed. Steps to the first floor!! A bit noisey as we were next to the lift.
• Gabriel (5/5): Buena ubicación, descanso pésimo. - Buena ubicación, buen tamaño de los apartamentos, buena limpieza. Cama pequeña, colchón blando, ruido insoportable de equipos de aire acondicionado de locales próximos.
• frederickoellisch (8/5): Super central modern apartment with a bit of background noise - Super central, modern flat. Quite noisy due to thin windows and cooling vents outside, only rain shower no classic shower head.
• Paul (10/5): Absolutely awesome; will be highly recommending this accommodation and service. - Destiny have thought of everything you need to have a comfortable stay. The location was central, which helped when visiting all parts of Edinburgh. The service from the staff in Thistle Street was well above expectation; they could not have been more helpful. Some may find it difficult with luggage to reach their rooms on higher floors.
• Nic (9/5): - Friendly support staff, beautiful apartment
• Massimiliano (8/5): -
• Janete Herrera (10/5): -
• Doris (9/5): -
• luka (9/5): -
• Giulia (8/5): - Posizione ideale per girare la città a piedi. Bagno nuovo e pulito. Essendo situata vicino al Mc Donalds e KFC si sente in continuo rumore di sottofondo probabilmente dell'aspiratore dei ristoranti, comunque non ci ha dato problemi nel sonno. Sempre per lo stesso motivo quando si rientra in stanza dopo la giornata si sente odore di fritto. Altra nota leggermente negativa le finestre sono scomode da aprire e dunque per cambiare l'aria. Comunque non ha influito negativamente sul soggiorno.
• Maryl71 (9/5): - L'emplacement est top, à côté de la gare, à 15 minutes du château, de Victoria Street. L'appartement est très propre, très aéré, très fonctionnel et très silencieux, tout était parfait. Rien ... ou si vraiment un petit manque de pression dans la douche mais pour dire qqch
• caroline (10/5): Fab, location excellent - Amazing location, 5 mins from train station, right in the middle of everywhere that's important, very helpful staff, easily contactable, and quick to reply, room was very clean, everything was there for a short stay. Nothing to do with the room or accommodations however there was a very loud air vent right outside the window, whilst it is a constant hum, the noise did blend into the background after awhile. Building works right next door and unfortunately the builders starting coming to site around 5ish everyday, and had constant deliveries at all hours, so very loud, banging etc. As the access door is right next to KFC and Maccies when leaving for the day/ coming back there where numerous people outside asking for money/ food etc.
• nathalie (9/5): - Appartement idéalement situé, agréable, bien agencé et bien equipé, très propre. Possibilité de baggagerie appréciable. Juste trop de bruit lié aux appareils de souffleries ce qui peut être problématique pour les petits dormeurs.
• Lindsay (10/5): -
• Barry Jordan (9/5): Great Location Near Waverley - Luggage storage, friendly staff, elevator, and a mini frig with a freezer. Wifi stopped but a tech guy eventually appeared to correct the problem. Fortunately I had an eSim and used WhatsApp to report the problem.
• Catherine (7/5): Great location, comfortable apartment but be warned about the stairs! - Comfortable apartment . It was good to use a code instead of needing keys. Location fabulous The stairs are a killer! You have to go up one long flight before you get to the lift.
• Edyta (10/5): - Lokalizacja super apartament bardzo czysty nowoczesny Wszystko w 100% przygotowane dla gości Wszystko nowe czyściutkie pachnące. Polecam z całego serca jeśli kiedyś jeszcze tam wrócę to tylko do tego apartamentu. Dodatkowo była zniżka za parking w galerii położonego blisko apartamentu lokalizacja świetna wszenie pieszo nie potrzebne jest auto.
• Kathija (9/5): -
• Nerea (9/5): Espectacular estancia - La ubicación del apartamento. no tener vistas a Oldtown
• Elena (10/5): Excelente ubicación, bien equipado y decorado y cómodo. - La ubicación, la limpieza, la comodidad del apartamento, su equipamiento con todo lo necesario, el sistema de acceso. Excelente.
• Dominic (6/5): -
• Roberta (10/5): Ottimo soggiorno - Tutto! Non avremmo potuto fare scelta migliore, posizione centralissima, appartamento bellissimo , luminoso, pulito e munito di tutto. Comodissima l’apertura delle porte con il codice, non si ha bisogno della preoccupazione di perdere le chiavi. Host super disponibile
• Sánchez Jorge (10/5): Perfecto. - El apartamento está fenomenal. Está perfectamente equipado, las instalaciones son modernas; está muy nuevo y limpio. La ubicación inmejorable. Muy buena atención y comunicación. Tambien muy cómoda la entrada autónoma con código. Totalmente recomendable Nada
• Vivien (9/5): -
• Zeynep (9/5): -
• Peter (8/5): Great weekend break. - Ideal location for seeing the city, which is why I choose it. Short walk to railway station, tram station and bus stops. Very clean. Very comfortable bed. Adequate storage for clothes, etc. Although secondary glazing had been used to try to alleviate external noise, there was a constant background noise from a/c units and extractor fans from adjacent property, which can be annoying if you are a light sleeper, earplugs helped a bit. Could not reach top shelves or back of middle shelves in kitchen cupboards. No low table on which to place drinks/snacks while relaxing on sofa.
• Deborah (8/5): Ottima posizione per muoversi in centro senza mezzi - Posizione ottima, tutto è vicinissimo e non serve dover prendere i mezzi per spostarsi. Appartamento molto bello e funzionale con tutto ciò che serve. Molto comoda l'ascensore. La pulizia non è stata accurata.
• planzesh (10/5): -
• Domenico (6/5): - Camera spaziosa con bagno anch'esso grande con una bella doccia . La struttura si trova vicino al centro storico. Si raggiungono tutti i punti d'interesse in poco tempo. Comodo anche per chi arriva dall'aeroporto col bus 100. La stanza è situata tra due edifici con un sistema di ventilazione attivo 24 ore su 24, rumoroso anche di notte e ciò non ti permette di riposare. Inoltre, i sistemi di ventilazione di KFC e McDonald’s diffondono costantemente odore di fritto. Ovviamente la vista era pessima.
• Malcolm (8/5): - Very central and perfect for a city break
• Danijela (10/5): - Location was great. Nice, clean and modern aparment.
• Γεώργιος (9/5): Perfect location - Room was clean, had everything we wanted Bed could be bigger and mattress softer
• Karyn (5/5): - The shower The noise of the extractor fan outside our window. And the Stink from KFC from said extractor. A trip we scrimped and saved for, ruined! We DID NOT SLEEP until after 3.30am when the extractor was turned off and KFC closed.
• isabelle (9/5): - L’appartement pratique et confortable et l’emplacement idéal dans la ville. Peut-être ajouter une patère dans la salle de bains Rien
• Annemarie (10/5): - Das Apartment ist sehr großzügig. Besonders hat uns auch die Sauberkeit gefallen! Und die Lage ist ein Traum. Wir hatten zudem Glück mit einem Zimmer nach hinten. Es war nicht komplett leise, aber das erwartet man auch nicht mitten in der City, dennoch war es ruhig. Die Kopfkissen. Gibt aber keinen Punkt Abzug, da der Rest gepasst hat!
• Daniela (10/5): -
• Molly (6/5): -
• Mikkel (8/5): -
• Diego (7/5): - la ubicación Faltaban algunas cosas básicas de cocina como sal y aceite/mantequilla que tuvimos que comprar y no pudimos terminar en los 3 días que estuvimos
• Roseanne (10/5): Comfortable, spotlessly clean and absolutely fantastic location. couldn’t ask for more. - Location was excellent, the property was spotlessly clean, we didn’t use the kitchen but it was immaculate and very well set out for what needs you would have. Shower is great and ample, quality soap, shampoo & conditioner also supplied. Destiny even go as far as making your parking easy, take advantage of the St. James’s Place shopping mall parking as it will save you a fortune, leave the car and take advantage of public transport, cheap enough and plenty of it. There is absolutely nothing to fault in this apartment, perfect for anyone’s needs. I would say though that if you have difficulty with stairs there is quite a flight of stairs before reaching the lift so may not be suitable for anyone’s needs with mobility issues.
• Alessio (9/5): - posizione eccellente. ceck in facile, apprezzata la possibilità di lasciare i bagagli. in 5 giorni potevano fare un cambio lenzuola/asciugamano

• Leon (10/5): - Excellent location, convenient check in, spacious, good shower too. Good price quality for Edinburgh. I was a bit apprehensive because i read reviews on noise and smell from the fast food outlets nearby but I didn’t smell nor hear anything (we were staying on the second floor). Would definitely recommend Nothing

• ericamN2543AH (10/5): Fantastic location and great facilities - Very central location, 5 minutes from Waverly Bridge Railway Station and Airport Bus drop off and pickup. Within walking distance to many sites both in old town and new. Rooms very spacious, reasonably accessible via a lift from the first floor. Important to know that there are stairs (31 steps) to the first floor if you have heavy luggage or mobility problems. Some really nice eateries across the road or within 5 mins walk. A 10-15 mins walk to the bus station for guided bus tours.

Prestador cuidadoso, disponibilizou chá , cafe e alguns biscoito, alem de produtos de higiene. Boa comunicação, disponibilizaram opções de atividades e guarda de bagagem. Alguns aspectos da limpeza poderiam ser melhorados.

• Mercy (8/5): It is a great place to stay - Good location Property was great. I just prefer ground floor due to my poor mobility
• Suzanne (10/5): Great stay! Will definitely recommend to family and friends - Great location. Nice big apartment with a good kitchen. Wonderful to have laundry facilities . Staff are very quick to respond Stairs up to the first floor with suitcases - but we knew about these and you only have to do it once up, and once down.
• Zoe (10/5): - Super close to everything, right opposite the station, easy to access, room was lovely, clean and comfortable. Extra special mention to the cleaner who assisted my mum with her luggage :-) N/a
• luis (10/5): - The apartment was very clean and tidy. It is very spacious. Getting access was quick and easy as we just needed the door code which was sent to us with plenty of time in advance. The location is amazing and it's literally in front of the airport bus stop and less than 10 minutes walking from all the main attractions to see in Edinburgh.
• Allison (9/5): Brilliant - Loved the décor and the location. Lovely old building. Lift broke down and we were top floor!
• Paola (10/5): -

• Mark (10/5): Perfect stay staff in office very helpful left luggage there .Great stay - The location was perfect 2min walk from train station.The apartment was ideal had everything you could need .Lovely lay out very clean Will definitely be back . There wasn’t anything
• ZAFEIRO NIKOLAOU (7/5): - It is located in a very central location. 1. Narrow bed (semi-double, not a proper double). 2. Cold room (the windows let cold air in, and the thermostat was problematic). 3. Very expensive for completely basic amenities (they didn’t even offer a piece of fruit or a sweet as a welcome treat, even though it was New Year’s Day). 4. Apartment with a view of black walls from other air shafts and constant noise from the outdoor air-conditioning units. 5. I was told there was an elevator, but they didn’t mention that you have to climb 35 steps with your luggage before you can reach it.
• Kelly (10/5): Amazing - OUTSTANDING! This apartment is amazing , clean, and has all the facilities you could ever need. The bed was small - there is room for a larger bed and definitely would make a difference.
• JUAN RODRIGO (9/5): Buenísima experiencia en Edimburgo. - La ubicación es genial, al lado de la estación de tren, además se puede caminar fácilmente a todos los lugares más relevantes. Sin duda lo recomiendo. Solamente que la última noche que nos quedaba se cortó el agua caliente. Por lo demás todo perfecto 👌

• Louise (10/5): - The apartment was spotless. Great location, walking distance for everything we wanted to do
