The flat was quite beautiful and very well kept. The location is 10/10 with everything in walking distance, even the train to the airport. Loved the view of the castle also! Would definitely stay here again & recommend this location to anyone travelling through or wanting to explore Edinburgh

The view was amazing! The castle was in front of us! The apartment/hotel was perfect for our needs! It was easy to access and central! The company was great to deal with! They even held our luggage at a nearby central office for the day and we were able to get an early check in!

Nice & spacious, close to all sightseeing , everything within walking distance. Only points of improvement…no lift available so we had to carry all our luggage up 5 floors. No parking nearby…very inconvenient

Great apartment with tons of room. Beautiful view of the castle and great location in old town. Would recommend for active group travelling together, since there are a lot of stairs. Would definitely return!!!

The location was great. The apartment was clean with all the amenities. There is a broken door on the main bedroom that is very loud and annoying.

Everything you need and a fantastic location!

Fantastic location! Incredible views from flat #3. Fully equipped with everything you need regardless of length of stay (sadly we were only there for one night) Office staff were very accommodating and friendly with the storage of luggage for our early arrival. Cleaning could have been a bit more thorough (couple of rogue hairs in the bathroom but I am an eagle eye). I would definitely stay there again.

Amazing flat!!! You should stay here

Beautiful apartment right on prince's street. Clean and comfortable. Communication was fast and easy if you needed to get a hold of someone. Within walking distance of a lot of tourist spots, or the train/buses if you want to go further. I wouldn't stay anywhere else if I'm in Scotland again. Would absolutely recommend

Beautiful spot close to all amenities

This place is great! It is not a hotel, it is a residents. So upon arrival there is no check in, you just simply key in the code provided and enter. The place is beautiful! With everything right at your fingertips.

Excellent but Loud neighborhood

The accommodations were EXCELLENT! Beautiful and new, kitchen/bathroom amenities were impeccable and bed was wonderful. Even though the location is in close proximity to all attractions and tourist sites, it is next door to a 24 hour McDonalds, which had loud patrons making lots of noise all during the night after the bars close. Yelling and loud people outside kept waking us up! That is the disadvantage of this location - loud neighborhood noises at all hours of the night. We were unable to get a good night's rest!

Perfect in every way!!

The Princes St residence was above and beyond what we expected. My wife's first time in Edinburgh was made that much more epic by the apartment. I would highly recommend Destiny Scotland to anyone who is traveling and wants the comfort of their own fully set up condo/apartment. I wouldn't stay anywhere else when we travel to Edinburgh in the future.

Excellent service! Beautiful space.

When we arrived we found there had been a mixup with our reservation. It was a bit frustrating, but an understandable problem. The company went out of their way to find us suitable arrangements - upgrading us to a far superior space for the entire four nights we were there. We were very pleased.

Fantastic!

The heated flooring in the en suite bathroom was ideal, and the entire apartment was wonderful. The furnishings was everything cosy and practical. The dining room and kitchen all went together flawlessly, and the living room was the ideal size, light, and cleanliness. My niece and daughter adored their accommodation, and the bathroom was the ideal size for doing makeup and other necessities. It's conveniently located near restaurants, cafes, the train station, and buses. On my subsequent trip, I plan to stay there once more.
