I can see the beautiful scenery of castle in the apartment. But it is quite exhausting for walking up to 4th floor with heavy luggage. Overall, we like this apartment.

The location is excellent. My only issue is there was no air conditioning. The flat was very warm and uncomfortable. No one in my family slept well as it was very hot, even at night.

The postcode and the attached map on the Expedia website is inaccurate and misleading. It shows the property being nearly opposite the Holyrood parliament buildings. It is in fact right in the heart of the Royal Mile. I wanted somewhere a bit quieter to go to at the end of the day. In fact, the apartment was directly above two pubs and opposite a fringe venue.

We attended specifically for the Edinburgh Fringe and the properties location on the Royal Mile was superb for the purpose. The property is lovely and the communications could not have been better. It is harsh to be negative about the property however, on the basis of being even handed, i would say that particularly light sleepers might have struggled as, despite excellent sound proofing, some noise from the street below was inevitable particularly during the fringe. The bed was comfortable however not the best i have ever slept in. Being picky now!

Perfect location for my family of four to explore Edinburgh

The location of this property is amazing. Literal steps from the Royal Mile and a fantastic pub right next door. Rooms worked well and were clean, and the kitchen provided essentials for anything you’d need. Definitely recommend!

This was a great convenient spot. Comfortable and easy to communicate with while we were there. I would suggest grab bars in tub/shower for safety as it is a deep step in and out of shower.

Great self contained unit. Large common areas modern amenities. Everything worked. Great staff and communication. A very pleasant stay great location. Good value.

Great stay

Loved the location. The parking was a bit far away. Thought it was a bit claustrophobic because the doors were all set to close automatically

Good

Excellent location and property. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

It is convenient being on the Royal Mile (High Street). When we first arrived, the apartment smelled. I called, fortunately before 5 PM when they close and they sent over a maintenance person. The smell was associated with a shower drain. After airing out the place and running the shower for a few minutes, it was fine. Maybe, the staff could just inspect the apartment periodically or just before guests come? Everything was pretty new and in good condition. The kitchen appliances may be standard for Europeans, but not for us from the States. Maybe some basic instructions for the dishwasher, oven, and cooktop?

Very enjoyable and comfortable stay at Destiny Scotland. The apartment was ideal for our stay. It woll definitely be a recommendation

Great location. A funny apartment where every room has a heavy fire door that you can’t leave open. Bedroom, living room, kitchen. But brilliantly located on the Royal Mile and yet quite a quiet and very comfortable, spotlessly clean apartment.

I highly recommend Destiny Scotland.

Amazing location and accessibility.

Spacious and clean with exceptional view.

Great location right on the Royal Mile. It was very clean with all the amenities we needed. Would definitely stay there again.

I would not recommend for 3 reasons: 1. SAFETY. There is a loud bar located on the 1st floor. There was a large fight that came onto the sidewalk with physical fighting & yelling leading to a gentleman being beaten & profuse bleeding . It was quite scary. 2. VERY LOUD. The rooms facing the royal mile are loud due to the pubs open late. The other rooms are in front of loud air vents and go on and off all day and night (see photos). The pigeons were VERY loud starting at 5am. 3. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. It is the worst I’ve experienced in my life. They sent me my room 3 days in advance indicating I was in room 11 along with our entry code. When I arrived I was not able to get in & the pin did not work. Their office closes at 5pm so if you arrive after 5pm you are out of luck for assistance. I tried calling their emergency line around 630pm since their office closes at 5pm. No one answered the emergency line! I had my family of five panicking because we could not get into our room & had no where to go. After calling a number times over a period of time I was finally told my room changed to room 8. They attempted to lie by saying that I have been booked in room 8 since January. Once I produced my email showing confirmation for room 11 three days before my check in they changed the story to say it was due to maintenance issue. Their reservation manager was rude & unprofessional. I was very surprised at this behaviour. This place ruined my family’s holiday.
