Destiny Scotland - Princes Street Residence Reviews

The rooms are big with super adequate equipments, and get all needed kitchen utensils. It is really a very good experience.

Advantages: 1) The location is very good, right on Princess Street, not far from the train station and the castle; 2) The view outside the window is very good, facing the church, you can see Edinburgh Castle, and the night view through the glass is quite good, you can refer to the scenery in the photo; 3) As a hotel apartment, the kitchen equipment in the room is basically complete, and friends who love cooking can use it with confidence; Disadvantages: 1) There is no reception, if you have any questions, you can only communicate by email or call. When we arrived at the hotel, we found that the Access Code given could not open the door to enter the room, so we could only call the office to communicate. The customer service can only help you solve the problem on the phone, and will not send someone to solve it on the spot. Note⚠️: You need to enter the Access Code to enter the first floor door and the room. The activation time of the Code is 3 pm on the day of check-in, and the expiration time is 11 am on the day of check-out. That is to say, if you arrive at the hotel before 3 o'clock on the day of check-in, you cannot enter, because your Access Code has not been activated and the input is invalid. You can only accompany your beloved suitcase on the street. Check-out time is 11 a.m., and the cleaning staff will put the cleaning tools at the door of the room early, waiting for you to leave the room and then come to clean the room. 2) There is no elevator, and it is really not easy to carry the luggage upstairs. Single ladies are advised not to try unless there is no luggage. 3) The sound insulation is very poor. I stayed for two nights. There were no guests in the next room on the first night, and it felt acceptable. I didn't receive too many disturbances when sleeping at night. On the second night, there were guests in the next room. We could hear them talking, opening and closing doors, and walking on the road clearly. Friends with light sleep should be mentally prepared. 4) The noise outside the window is very loud. The window of the room faces the road, and the sirens of ambulances can be heard no less than ten times a night, and they are particularly harsh. At night, there will be groups of drunk people who make a lot of noise and "perform to their heart's content" downstairs. One wave left, and another wave came, no less than five waves a night. It was not until 3 a.m. that it was quiet. 5) There are no toothbrushes, toothpaste or disposable slippers in the room. We recommend that you bring your own.

Convenient location, a bit far from parking, the nearby NCP charges are too expensive.

There is no elevator, you have to carry your luggage by yourself 😥 You must check out at 11 o'clock, and the place where you temporarily store your luggage is at least a 12-minute walk from the apartment. Hard to get a taxi 😤
