Destiny Scotland - George IV Apartments

My husband and I stayed at No. 1 Apartments George IV Bridge in Edinburgh for just under one week (on vacation from Canada). We can't say enough good things!! (And I'm VERY particular!!) We initially stayed in a one-bedroom suite (no. 4) and then upgraded to a two bedroom suite (no. 8). Both had views of the castle. Although situated in an older, heritage building, the apartments have a modern aesthetic. This is a walk-up without an elevator or a/c, so that may be an issue for some. We stayed on the very top floor and didn't find the stairs to be an issue. The location is absolutely perfect. It's only a 3 minute walk to the Royal Mile, and maybe 5 more mins to Edinburgh Castle. Holyrood Castle is at the opposite end of the Royal Mile, about a 20 minute walk, at most. Victoria Street (aka Diagon Alley) is literally around the corner, just 2 mins away. Grassmarket is at the end of that short street, about a 4 min walk. Greyfriars Bobby is at the end of the block, so less than a minute's walk away. All to say, it's a great location. While there are no hotel staff members onsite, they're extremely responsive and will come to your suite within minutes, if there's an issue. Peter and Jan (the contacts for our suites) were extremely helpful and always available by phone or in-person. The suites are clean and well-designed. Both the one- and two-bedroom suites have a combined washer/dryer, and a kitchenette with a fridge and microwave. The two-bedroom is very large and spacious, but only has one bathroom. We loved it. We would return to No. 1 Apartments in a heartbeat. Thanks for an awesome stay!! We hope to return one day!!
