We loved the location of this apartment! Just around the corner and you're in the middle of beautiful Edinburgh!
The property was clean, nicely decorated and entry was easy. We will definitely consider this as a future stay when we return to Edinburgh!

Lovely place but it felt rather unsafe in its location, I wouldn’t have been happy staying here alone. It’s a street directly behind shops and a pub, We arrived home late one evening and a group of drunk men were toileting and hanging around close to the entrance. This is a shame as the apartment was clean and well equipped, central location and good walking distance for most tourist attractions

Great apartment! Was only here for 1 night but had everything you need for a longer stay. It was very clean and comfortable. Very easy check in and checkout process.
Only recommendation is to check the temperature before people check in as the flat was 24 degree when I arrived and it was already hot outside.

Great place destiny new town apartment
The location was excellent! Near all supermarkets such as tesco and marks and Spencer. Close to princes st. The bus and train station and the royal mile. The playhouse theatre. Lots of bars nearby . Only a little problem with the bed. It was too hard/firm. Little inconvenience, but place had dishwasher , washing machine and full functioning kitchen! Lovely stay for 7 days! Staff at office very kind and helpful!

Incredible stay, Tough check-in
We had an excellent stay in Edinburgh at Destiny Scotland New Town apartments. Exceptionally clean, modern and well kept. Unfortunately directions to the property are tough especially when checking in after 5pm and the office is closed. It is difficult to find the exact property location and we were not given the after hours checkin information until we called the emergency phone number. We were then promptly directed to correctly enter and use our code. Other than that little hiccup, I still give 5 stars because the property and apartment were exceptional. Excellent location and place was so comfortable for us spending the weekend to go to a concert at the castle. If we come back to Edinburgh I will stay here again.
