Great place to call home base in Edinburgh

We rented a STUDIO apartment on the 3rd floor. Bed was comfortable (American FULL SIZE, not Queen or King), shower was roomy and easy to use, washer/drawer and full kitchen was a major plus. Only one flight (30 steps) of stairs to get to the lift. Very old building, clean, updated and modern. For all those with allergies— absolutely no signs of mold or mildew. Located just steps from Princess Street and the main entrance to Waverley Station.

Perfect location very close to train station. There was a big storm, and they kindly let us check in early before it arrived at no cost. That was really remarkable. Very modern and updated appliances even a washer & dryer in one. Definitely recommend!

Very conveniently located near the rail station and allowed walking to everywhere we wanted to visit. Bit of a challenge for people our age getting luggage up, as the lift started at the first floor and had to take bags up a long staircase from the street entrance (thankfully, the staircase was wide).

Excellent room in heart of Edinburgh

Comfy, nice, clean room near Walter Scott Memorial. Discounted off site parking. Outside door into building tricky to find. (It was right next to KFC). Nicest room in my two week trip. Wish I’d had it for more than a night.

An excellent property that was a perfect location for all local amenities. The tram stop was very near and there were many options for dining or having a beer. The National Portrait Gallery was only a couple of hundreds yards away and was excellent. The property was minutes away from Waverley train station. The property itself was excellent and was accurately described. We were very impressed with the office team who put themselves out to accommodate a slightly earlier access on arrival and rang us to tell us when we could get in. Also.when we had a minor issue with the electrics a member of the team turned up in minutes. The property certainly helped us to have a very enjoyable 5 day stay and we will definitely look to use Destiny if we visit the area again.
