Destiny Scotland Apartments at Canning Street Lane

My recent hotel stay was a bit of a mixed experience. While the hotel was clean and well-equipped, there were several issues that detracted from my overall satisfaction. Before arriving, I had communicated with the hotel via email and was told that they could be reached via WhatsApp. However, upon arrival, I was unable to get a response from the hotel on WhatsApp. Additionally, there was no reception area, and check-in had to be done over the phone, which required multiple long-distance phone calls and extra fees. The day before check-in, I received a last-minute email from the hotel requesting a deposit, but they did not provide any information on how to make the payment. Not all of the staff were willing to provide assistance, but the last person I spoke to was patient and helpful, which allowed me to check in smoothly. One major safety concern was that there was a step outside the bathroom, but the floor was not marked, making it easy to trip and fall. Another hazard was the transparent coffee table in the living room, which caused several stumbling incidents that could have led to injuries. Overall, while the hotel was clean and well-maintained, the issues with communication, extra fees, and safety hazards detracted from my experience.

Fabulous 2 night stay in a 2 bed apt. There were 3 of us and it was just perfect. Loads of space and comfy beds to sleep in. We had a wee bit of difficulty finding it to start with and 2 flights of stairs (no lift) won’t suit everyone but it was fine for us. Excellent location - just off Shandwick Place and perfectly located for Murrayfield. 50% parking reduction at the NCP at Castle Terrace was the icing on the cake. Pricey but worth it I’d say. One small point - no microwave oven which might put some people off. Overall, wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Loved it.

Perfect place to stay while exploring Edinburgh, wish I could have spent a few more days.

We had a great overall stay at Canning Street Lane - apartment incredibly clean, equipped with everything you need and in a great location. Wifi also worked amazingly. The only downsides were the windows not being double glazed (they let noise in to the point where you thought they were open and kept checking) and the person coming to clean our room already making noise at 8:30 on a Saturday morning - she then proceeded to stand and wait on the tiny corridor right outside our door ALL morning until 11:00 (bear in mind you can hear everything through the doors so we could not even have a private conversation properly). We left the apartment at 9:30 to get a coffee and walk around, she was waiting there clearly ready to get in, then in the same position when we came back an hour later. To say we felt rushed and uncomfortable would be an understatement! Would be great if the company gave their staff a break room they can wait in or if they were told to come back at actual check-out time at 11…

An altogether great experience. Can really recommended this accommodation.

Close and conveniently located to everything

Excellent apartment. Close to restaurants, tram and busses.

Have stayed in various Destiny Apartments over the last few years as I have family in the area and I can say with certainty I will not use again. The apartment itself is not in the least bit soundproof, with drunken noise and shouting outside the window every night I stayed, the cleaners clattering a hoover up and down the hardwood stairs at 8.30am and culminating in 3 women trying to gain access to my apartment as they had either misread or been given incorrect information. The customer service response was "it happens" no apology, no compensation and very obviously uninterested in dealing with a complaint. Very disappointing as they once were the one to beat for decent accommodation.
