Great location. Loved inverness. Room was great.

Check in was poor. Was sent a code when booking months ago - it had been changed, and no notification was given. Had to call office while standing on a busy street, in the rain, all our belongings getting soaked. Management company had changed the code. Thankfully while we were waiting to contact anyone about getting in off the street, 2 people came by and let us in. So much for security, but we were grateful to get out of the rain at least. A text came the next day, a full day AFTER check in with actual info on how to check in. Really poor job they did with check in.

It was a 3 minute walk from Waverley train station, easy to find, and centrally located to everything! The apartment was clean, spacious and the bed was super comfortable. The views from them were a bonus!

There was nothing not to like! It had everything that you could possibly need!

Location was amazing and central to everything. Handy little apartment with plenty of space. Lovely decor and well equipped kitchen. Had windows which were easily opened to let in fresh air.

There was a fairly loud humming electrical noise a lot of the time, mainly during the night - not sure what it was. There was also 73 stairs to the 4th floor where we stayed, but that wasn't really an issue for us and was well documented before we got there. Also, being Australian, we struggled a bit to work out how to use the heating system - we're not huge fans of heat and stuffiness. But we could open the windows which was a bonus.

I liked the location. Very close to High Street, train station and shops. Loved the old windows, with the new one that opened. Kept the old look but with modern warmth. I loved having a separate bedroom instead of a all in one room. The safe was fantastic. Made me feel good my passport was locked away safely.

The dishes and cutlery in the kitchen were not balanced. Odd number of plates and cutlery. Also, no bread knife. I would have liked instruction on how to used the stove, stove top and dishwasher. I was unable to use the provided soap and shower products. They must cater to men as the scents were very masculine and strong. I would also have liked a door chain to secure the door when I was in the apartment. I did not like the 51 steps I had to drag my luggage up to. A little luggage dumbwaiter elevator would be AMAZING. I thought I was going to have a heart attack by the time I had all my luggage in the apartment.

The location was superb! Right beside train station and bus stops. Directly facing Edinburgh dungeons and a very short walk up the hill, and you are on the Royal mile. We stayed from Monday (st paddy's day) right through to Thursday, and the place was so quiet, clean, peaceful, and comfortable. Everything we needed to even have a cosy night in and checking in and out during the day while out exploring. We are looking forward to returning with the rest of the family.

In the interest of being honest, we had 2 minor things that we can't even call complaints. The layout of our particular studio apartment wasn't to our liking (i.e., tv wasn't in a good position to the sofa). We simply rearranged it and put the furniture back before checking out. And not really a complaint but a word of warning, there is no lift, just very steep stairs. LOTS OF STAIRS. My husband and I are relatively fit, and even though the steps were daunting, they were completely manageable! However, if you have mobility issues, unfortunately, this amazing spot won't suit.

Loved the location! Apartment was nice and spacious and equipped with everything you would need. The only thing my husband and I struggled with the temperature of the apartment. There were no instructions on how to use the thermostat. It was very hot in our apartment. We turned off the heat but could not figure out how to put on the AC? Not sure if it even had AC? When you are on vacation the last thing you want to do is call about how to use the thermostat. Instructions should be readily available near the thermostat. That was our only complaint concerning the apartment. Everything else was perfect.

No instructions on how to use the thermostat.

Check-in and check-out were contactless and automatic. Loved the convenient keypads to enter the building and the apartment using easy to remember codes for the main door and apartment door. The cleanliness of the apartment itself was awesome. I loved the washer and dryer which were free to use including free detergent. Location is awesome just across from Edinburgh Waverly train station and one street parallel to the Royal Mile. Everything was walkable from there.

The main stair carpeting would benefit from regular vacuum washing. I recognize that there is quite a bit of traffic from guests and hosts but clean stairs especially without the stucked on gummy residue would make a huge general impression. Don’t mind that there’s no lift; might not be structurally feasible to do one on old buildings. The beds were lumpy and as an older guest with back and neck issues, I would have appreciated a more comfortable mattress. I hope the hosts remedy this as considering how wonderful the apartment was, the uncomfortable mattress really stood out as a negative.

The entire process was easy, I really appreciated the coded doors and not being responsible for keys, and communication with the staff was flawless. The location was absolutely perfect - right across the street from the Waverly station and airport bus stop, as well as a short (but steep, which is all of Edinburgh) climb up to the Royal Mile. The apartment was well stocked, very clean, and I LOVED having free laundry facilities available!

I somehow missed there wasn’t a lift on the property in the original posting. Being on the top floor (6th), this was a bit getting used to after miles of walking each day, and for older folks or people with a physical disability, this would have been an impossibility. It was a bit difficult getting bags up (thankfully, one of the property’s hospitality staff happened to arrive at the same time I did and carried mine up for me!). Another resident was also surprised about the lift, and mentioned needing to change floors as a result. We received notice about this three days in advance of our booking, and I may have missed it in the original post. It isn’t impossible, but it is important to know as you choose your room (although, the top floor came with AMAZING views).

I had a wonderful experience during my stay! The coffee/tea and biscuits were delightful. As for the location, it couldn't have been better! It was conveniently situated close to major attractions and offered easy access to local dining and shopping. Overall, both the breakfast and the location contributed significantly to a fantastic stay.

While I had a great stay overall, there were a couple of areas for improvement. The absence of a lift was a challenge, especially since I stayed on the top floor; it would have been much more convenient to have easy access to my room. Additionally, it would have been nice to find more food options available, such as complimentary bottled water, milk, butter, jam, and a selection of pastries or bread. These small touches would have enhanced the overall experience and made it even more enjoyable.

This was a wonderful stay. The apartment is thoughtfully designed and decorated and spotlessly clean with everything you could need including a coffee machine, fully equipped kitchen, and high quality towels and toiletries. There was a laundry room with 2 big washers and dryers for us to use and the staff were always friendly, helpful and responsive. There are 34 steps up to the apartment but they are carpeted and easy to negotiate. The apartment is super quiet and cosy because of the double glazing and stairwell doors. The location is perfect for train travellers and right near all the main attractions. This was a really wonderful stay. Thank you Destiny team.
