This accommodation is in a good location. As indicated, there is no elevator and we were on the third floor. With luggage this was a little difficult, but it was expected. We had a two bedroom unit and it was very large. It was clean with beautiful large windows. The kitchen was very well equipped.
However, it is an old building and there were issues with this. Everytime someone ran water (from any unit), there was a loud noise in our unit from the pipes. Also, the windows are not in good condition, ie the master bedroom window was loose in the frame, and the wind created a loud banging noise that woke us. They are also single paned and outside noise was loud. There is construction happening on one side of the building which made it worse.
Check in was very smooth. An email was sent with a code for the door. After this, communication became difficult. It was not clear who to talk to with after hours concerns, and the office was only open 9-5. We checked in around 7pm, and the bathroom sink was clogged, so this was an issue for us.
Overall I feel the price is too high for the experience we had.

A convenient location on Queen St, New Town close to the Portrait Gallery, restaurants/ cafes and tourist sites. The number 1 apartment was spacious, quiet and on the ground floor (no lift for upper floors) and had 8 steep steps to the front door. The two bedrooms & two bathrooms were located at the rear of the building and were quiet. Comfortable, stylish furniture & all kitchen amenities were provided. Destiny Scotland staff would not confirm what floor the apartment was on until the day before my arrival and could/ would not tell me how quiet or noisy as Queen St is a major road. When you book it is not clear which apartment you will be allocated. This lack of transparency by Destiny Scotland is an issue and I will not use them if this occurs again.

The property is perfect for a longer stay in Edinburgh. It is a well-appointed one bedroom apartment in a beautiful house in central Edinburgh. It is close to transportation to the Royal Mike in an area of great restaurants, pubs and shopping. We had only one complaint the bed needs a new mattress and sofa. Otherwise, it is perfect.

Big and spacious. Lots of restaurants, cafes and pubs nearby. Walkable to train station and major places of interest. One major downside is the security. When we are out, there were 2 occurences of entry. One left the living room lights on and the other cleared our trash. Chatted online with destiny and they said no unauthorised entries in their records. If there is any form of housekeeping, please let the guests know so the guests feel safer.

Very nice apartment for a family

It’s very nice apartment for family trip with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, full kitchen and laundry. It’s large enough for seven adults…

However I hesitated to book this place and I was thinking of canceling it several times because they said there is no luggage storage service. Fortunately, they informed us that we could store our luggages in their nearby office in an email that they sent us 48 hours before checking in. This was a big relief for us. In fact, we did store our luggages in their office before checking in and after checking out. It is strongly suggested to the owner to correct the luggages storage information in hotels.com

Huge apartment, lovely decor and good amenities provided. We didn’t use the living room because the windows are single glazed and the noise from the road was too loud. The bedroom was on the back which was good but there was a lot of noise during the night from drunk people and glass being thrown in the recycling. There was a weird high pitched noise in the cupboard next to the bathroom every time we used the water, sometimes even when we didn’t. Really weird and annoying as it went on in the night sometimes. Bed needs replacing as it felt like it was going to fall apart at any minute. Toilet paper was the cheapest you could buy. Disappointing because it’s such a lovely property and maybe it’s listed so double glazing isn’t an option but I’m sure something could be done to rectify the issues we faced.

We looooooved this property! Everything was amazing! Extremely clean, cozy beds and linen, a washing machine and dryer, front and back patio's, extremely spacious, AND close to everything! It was everything we wanted, and it still exceeded our expectations. I will absolutely stay here again!
Something to keep in mind, if you have mobility issues, entry to the three bedroom unit requires you to descend a flight of stairs - but there is a sturdy handrail.
Stay here! You will NOT be disappointed!

Access to property was straight forward. We had the ground floor flat which was a two bedroom. It was really clean. There was plenty of space. Although a couple of minutes from Princes Street and on a main road, we could not hear any traffic or foot traffic outside. Full instructions on how to operate every thing were provided on an app and very clear
Only thing missing in my view were non slip mats for the bath and shower. Office staff were very helpful when contacted with queries. Liked the property so much I have booked again for xmas.

Lovely apartment, great location, sketchy safety

The apartment itself is exactly as pictured and in great shape. It is clean, spacious with comfortable beds. The location is perfectly located for most major attractions and has tons of options for food, shopping and public transportation. I imagine the night would be quieter if I wasn’t there in the middle of a major Edinburgh festival with festivities lasting into the night. The only negative is that the security of the apartment was poor. There is a code you enter to gain entry to the apartments and less than an hour after I had already checked in they allowed someone else access to my room while I was still there taking a nap. Meaning, they overrode my code and gave another person a new code to my apartment. Imagine the fright of being woken up by someone screaming “who are you?” It was a careless error and for the entire trip I wondered if it would happen again so I didn’t feel safe.

Good location, apartment needs an upgrade

We travelled in a group of 7 adults with two apartments. The location was the best thing about the apartments, close to restuartants, bars and easy access to the Royal Mile. We had come for the Edinburgh Tattoo which was the highlight of our stay. Unfortunately, the apartment I was in had a smelly toilet and we were not supplied with enough toilet paper! The beds and pillows were soft and need an upgrade. We really enjoyed our time in Edinburgh but we were disappointed with the standard of the accomodation for the price; it wasn't cheap.

You would be happier somewhere else.

While in a good location, this property has some definite drawbacks. The property and the room are accessed only by key pad (no reception desk), so there is no option for early check in or late check out. If you arrive early, you must go to their office a couple of blocks away and walk up a flight of stairs to check your bags, The people in the office were very unfriendly. The actual property has no elevator and is completely unaccessible. There are long steps to get to the ground floor and since we were on the 4th floor we have to lug two heavy bags up 4 flights of stairs. The room was nice size, but on a busy street that was fairly noisy. The rooms were decorated nice but beginning to show a lot of wear. No daily room service, only weekly. So you use the same towel over and over. The water heater broke and it took the better part of the day to get fixed. Bottom line, there are hundreds of places to stay in Edinburgh. Find someplace other than this.

In desperate need of a lick of paint everywhere .....very battered! No blind at window above bed in mezzanine and only one hairdryer for all rooms.
Very spacious and good location. Also able to leave cases before and after checking/out.

Spacious apartment but top floor and no lift

Apartment was excellent as base for visit to Tattoo/Fringe but lack of lift and no prior warning in the booking meant four over 65’s were requiring oxygen by the time we had scaled all 66 steps.

Don’t expect help, repairs or decent service

We booked 4 months ahead and after reading reviews we requested a lower floor room as my husband and I are between 65-74. We were given a room up a very steep spiral staircase on the third floor. This rental property operates out of an office a block away with very limited weekend office hours so we were unable to request a change upon arrival. Also we had been traveling for 10 days and chose this property as it offered a washer/dryer. Upon loading the machine stopped after 10 minutes wet. All of us are familiar with European models but no one could get the machine to finish cycle. We phoned the office and asked for assistance next day. Monica said she would send someone at 11am. We waited til noon, no one came or contacted. Left a message saying we were sightseeing close by and at 3pm we got an email saying machine broken and we could use another unit until 4!! Immediately phoned and asked if we could change room and was told that due to a coding complication it was not possible. Staff said message would be left for manager the next day, Monday. She called and said washer has been broken awhile , they had the part but no maintenance appointment as of yet. She also offered a room change to 4th floor which we had to decline as we could barely walk up to the 3rd floor! With wet laundry becoming a serious issue we had no choice but to find a laundry ourselves, walk mile away and pay £70. No help from mgmt. Eventually reimbursed and given inadequate comp for trouble and runaround

The apartment was amazing, located in a renovated building in New Town. It was so spacious and charming. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and kitchen overlooked a street in New Town. We had an easy walk to Old Town and to restaurants.

Wedding weekend in Edinburgh.

Very good size and general standard of our apartment, but it was up 3 flights of stairs and this was not stated in the advert. Very difficult with luggage, a small baby and all the equipment. General attention to detail by prep staff also not good. Blocked sink in ensuite, freezer so iced up door could not close, chipped mugs. Blinds ineffectual. Smallish things but very poor for price paid. Admin mistakes also very irritating.

The apartment we got was very well located, really comfortable and very spacious and well appointed.
A very well equipped and big kitchen.
The building security inspires confidence. The addition of a parking spot for an extra charge is a must.

Our stay at Destiny

Only negative thing about the stay was it was on the 4th floor and no lift. We unfortunately had lots of luggage, but it was a great place and location was excellent.

Lovely spacious apartment in the centre of Edinburgh. Although on a busy road, the bedrooms were at the back of the building and were quiet. Only downside is the lack of parking. There are some spaces at the back of the building, but these are very limited, so book early! There is street parking, but again, very limited and expensive. We used Q Parking at the OMNI Centre. A 15 minute walk, but it worked for us. Would certainly stay at these apartments again, when next in Edinburgh.
