Amazing apartment

Amazing apartment. It had everything we needed including a washer (no dryer) but it has a drying rack which worked just fine. Location was close to many things and the both the tram stop and train station are within walking distance.

We have been using these apartments for…about 7 years

We have been using these apartments for several years and they are always immaculately kept. Fully functional kitchen and comfortable seating area.
The apartment couldn't be more central, easy walking distance to Pavilion Theatre, bus station and Waverley
station. Staff couldn't be more helpful and nothing is ever too much bother.

Comfortable, convenient - and clean!

Flat was comfortable and very clean. Cleaners were present to change towels and empty bins etc at least once during stay.
Team gave fast & efficient response when we reported a minor issue which was great.
It was warm in the flat- but we were experiencing hot sunny weather in Edinburgh, so that’s not unexpected. There was very little street noise with windows closed presumably because of the double glazing- but it meant that opening the windows would have made it slightly noisy. They provided one big fan- another would have been appreciated
Great location. Easy to walk or use public transport to go further into town. Close to supermarkets for all essentials.

Thanks so much for your feedback. We’re happy you found the apartment clean, comfy, and in a great location.

We appreciate the note about the fan and the warm weather and glad the double glazing kept things quiet inside!

Thanks for choosing to stay with us and would love to welcome you back in the future

Great place and good service

We stayed at 3 bedrooms flat in Edinburgh. It was very clean and it was in great location and close to all amenities and public transport . There was good support available too, had a problem with tv and internet connection and they sort it very quickly.

Edinburgh apartment v hotel stay

We visited Edinburgh for a week and wanted to stay somewhere other than a hotel. We selected an apartment and we weren’t disappointed by the price or the quality. Ideally situated to get out and about quickly and easy to use as a base for our group. We would recommend these to anyone wanted to visit Edinburgh.

70th Birthday Celebration was fantastic!

We had a great stay in this very central apartment. There was plenty of space for the grown ups and my six grandchildren! The wonderful views over Edinburgh towards the sea were fabulous. It was booked for a family celebration of my 70th birthday and certainly did not disappoint!

Exceptional Edinburgh Experience!

I had an incredible experience with Destination Edinburgh Limited! From start to finish, their team was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. The accommodations were exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and ideally located. Their local knowledge made a huge difference in helping us plan the perfect itinerary, with great restaurant recommendations and insider tips on what to see and do. Communication was excellent throughout, and it truly felt like they cared about making our trip memorable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend their services to anyone visiting Edinburgh!

Short break heaven

The standard and value for money the accommodation gives is amazing everything is catered for and the location is perfect for shops, attractions and transport to and from the airport. Short walk from Waverley makes this an easy option in Edinburgh.

Lovely clean and centrally located self catering apartment, perfect for family celebrations (tip - book direct for a later check out and free gift!)

We booked the penthouse apartment on the company’s website to celebrate my mother’s 70th birthday as that gave us a later check out and a free gift. The apartment was clean, spacious and the views were incredible! We look forward to booking again for future family celebrations.
