    I loved the location of Destiny Student - Cowgate, as it was right in the heart of the festival. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant throughout my stay. The shared kitchen was spacious and convenient for preparing meals. Despite being a student accommodation, the room had its own shower and toilet, which was a plus. The large shared kitchen was also a great feature. I highly recommend this hotel for a short stay during the festival.
