Smells like McDonald’s chips !
The apartment was advertised as being on St Andrews square. This was not quite the case. It turned out we walked from there towards Princes street, and the door of the apartments was right next to a McDonald’s. Not quite the location we thought! However, extremely central! When we entered the apartment building the hall area was functional, but not particularly welcoming. Upon opening the door to the apartment the smell of greasy chips was overwhelming. We worked out the extractor fan of either the McDonald’s or the KFC was outside our window. It was quite frankly disgusting! The room was styled nicely and the bathroom was luxurious, but nothing could distract us from the smell which came in wafts. For this reason I would not stay there again. Our clothes and hair smelled of this smell the whole of the next day!

The overall stay was good. As we arrived after 5, i couldn’t locate the hair dryer in my room and the heated towel rack was not working, I contacted the property by WhatsApp as instructed from the property’s email. There was no response from the property until I checked out. We rented the apartment with 2 rooms, there should be one hair dryer in each room but only one was found. Since there are more baby boomers visitors, I recommend hand grip should be installed inside the shower unit. The location is good and convenient.

Excellent
Perfectly situated apartment with very comfortable accommodations. The train and tram are within 1 block walking distance. The apt has a washer and dryer!!! Just be ready to walk 23 stairs up with your luggage to the first floor lift.
Train drop off area.
Tram pick up one block up.
Beautiful historic neighborhood near the Castle and 4 block walk from the apt.

Be aware that if you book this hotel via Hotels,com or Expedia the hotel will email you around 18hrs before your check in to advise that you must telephone the office & provide credit card details for the security deposit. This is okay if you’re in the UK but might be an issue if you are on a long distance flight. You cannot access the apartment without first providing your details. There is no reception at the property, so be aware that you might find yourself stranded. The apartment itself is well appointed & comfortable. The lift is on the first floor which might be an issue for you if you have limited mobility (or heavy luggage). Location is excellent for walking everywhere & very close to train station.

Nice, but outside factors make it a miserable stay
Newly renovated fully stocked apartment very close to train. Room itself is nice and comfortable. However, comfort also includes overall environment. Outside window is an alley full of unsightly dumpsters, seems to be a glass recycling center. At 5am, work trucks with their beeping alarms begin arriving, loading and dumping the glass bottles. It’s extremely loud and impossible to sleep through. Additionally there’s a solar bright light on an adjacent building pointed right to the apartment window. At 2am the room was as bright as daylight. Between the two, it was near impossible to get any sleep. While these are factors outside control of the company, they can take actions to mitigate these issues as again, comfort includes all factors and not being able to sleep is a key element of comfort.

Wonderful, pristine apartment. Would have liked to have been able to use the lift. Long climb up to the apartment. If use of the lift would be made available for guests, this place could be said to be perfect.

Nice, convenient to trains, but very in morning
Nice accommodation very convenient to the train station. Room is spacious with fully stocked kitchen. Check in is easy with coded entry to main door and room. Marked down the rating from 5-star because the rooms looks out to a dirty back alley that is the location for a lot of unsightly dumpsters. Not only that, we were awoken at 0530 by a constant stream of very loud trucks dumping glass into these large bins. Even with the windows closed it was annoying when we’re trying to sleep. Other rooms that don’t face this alley are likely much better.

The apartment was great! Very clean inside and had everything we needed. It was a perfect location near the train station and between the old and new city. The main entrance could use a little improvement as it was not like the pic I saw when booking the apartment. Other than that all was fantastic!

Destiny is loud
The Destiny Apartments were clean and well kept. The location made for very easy access to pretty much wherever you want to go in Edinburgh with access to the tram within a 3 minute walk. Multiple historic and monuments, museums, and other amazing locations are also within a short walk. That said, the apartments can get hot in the summer months as there is no air conditioning (only heating) and the windows only open about 2 inches, making airflow through the apartment minimal. It is also immediately off a busy street and near several bars and nightlife, which are all active until well into the night, so if you’re looking for a quiet place - this is not it.

Great location, shame about the aromas
Comfortable, clean and a great location. The only negative was the room smelled of KFC and McDonald's with both outlets located downstairs.

The reason I didn't rate it as a 5 was that we were told there was a lift there. When we got there we had to climb 2 flights of stairs before the lift started. At 70 years old, we purposely picked a place with a lift. This was very deceiving and caused a lot of trouble.
