I had the best stay at New Town apartments managed by Destiny Scotland. The studio apartment was very clean and well equipped. Very centrally located with shopping and restaurants close by. It was also very quiet so I was able to get great quality sleep. I enjoyed my stay very much and would recommend it to anyone traveling in Edinburgh.

The apartment was large and quiet and clean. That's the good part. The mattress was not great. We could feel the wood underneath it and the pillows were thin. By the end of five nights we were dreaming of our bed back home. The tv is tiny and far across the room. Overall the space is fine but it feels cheap not cozy and welcoming.

Lovely place but it felt rather unsafe in its location, I wouldn’t have been happy staying here alone. It’s a street directly behind shops and a pub, We arrived home late one evening and a group of drunk men were toileting and hanging around close to the entrance. This is a shame as the apartment was clean and well equipped, central location and good walking distance for most tourist attractions

Great apartment! Was only here for 1 night but had everything you need for a longer stay. It was very clean and comfortable. Very easy check in and checkout process. Only recommendation is to check the temperature before people check in as the flat was 24 degree when I arrived and it was already hot outside.

This was perfect for our family of 3 adults. Plenty of space and so convenient!! The location is excellent, especially if you like to walk around the city. Everything was spotless and comfortable. The beds were fantastic! I would love to stay here again. Customer service was amazing, our flight was canceled and they were able to book us for another night. I highly recommend!!
