We had a wonderful stay at destiny student burnet point! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel at ease. The room was completely spotless and the kitchen had great facilities and was very well maintained. It felt very safe as two young female travellers and was a great location for exploring the city especially having great access to Arthur’s seat. Would very much recommend this property and we will be back!!

We were the first costumers after opening. Normally this is a longterm rental student home, but it was excellent for one night to visit the town. Very nice staff at the reception.

Good stay and affordable price. Quick bus ride or easy walk into the center of town. Request a room away from one of the access points as it could be noisy at night as people were locking or unlocking the access door. Bathroom could have been slightly better maintained. Hotel unfortunately uses single use plastics for their toiletries.

really convenient accom, check in was really easy and you get towels which was nice! the room was super clean and the staff were always helpful. there is a bus stop at the top of the street and down the road is a lidl, sainsbury’s etc which was convenient for making a holiday cheaper. the view from our room was lovely, arthur’s seat could be seen from the window - there are train tracks nearby but they aren’t a bother. would defo stay again!! :)

Overall very good service, cleaning was very good, but few improvements on the way. No mat out of shower makes a mess in the room. The bed is actually very small for two, but ok if tou looking for A budget solution.

Room was generally clean, some hairs and an oil stain on duvet. Bed had a high skirting board that hadn't been dusted for a while. Amenities were fine. Staff were polite and helpful, although seemed confused at times. Good self catering facilities. I was given a room key to another guests room by mistake, this was quickly rectified but it didn't make me feel safe staying in there. Whilst not being a hotel, they are charging hotel prices so I would expect more professionalism.

Don’t count on bag storage. And I think this is run by volunteer students. It’s a bit chaotic and disorganized. In all fairness, it is new. I needed bag storage as offered, but they didn’t, so I carried my 20kg bag only to get the same room the next day on a 3 day stay.

I booked 3 nights here with anticipation of luggage storage. Luggage storage was restricted and not as advertised. The staff was not accommodating. I had to check out, carry 20kg of luggage to a bag check across town because there was nothing suitable locally. I believe the place to be run by students that can’t make decisions and don’t understand hospitality. It was a relatively small ask, but a massive inconvenience to me. I found out day 2, so lost an afternoon looking around for some assistance. It was stressful. This site finally got me a supervisor who offered a solution, but I spent 2-3 hours online and walking to find something local to help, plus nearly 2 hours with customer service. I was physically sick with how stressful it was.
