No.1 Apartments - New Town - Edinburgh — Local services in City of Edinburgh

I had booked the standard two bedroom apartment rather than one of the luxury ones as the photos on the website looked great. However, I suspect that the lounge photos shown for the standard apartment are in fact the luxury ones as when we opened the door to our apartment I felt disappointed as the lounge was long and narrow – nothing like the photos on the website (hence one star deducted). I think the website needs to be updated to show the actual apartment photos as things like a lack of a dining table and space may be important to families.|We would stay here again as it is a great location but just not in this apartment.||Pros :|- Location|- Brilliant shower|- Cleanliness|- Quality toiletries||Cons :|- Traffic noise (really needs to be a second door to block the noise)|- No dining room table (all of the photos for the ‘standard’ 2 bed apartment show a table and chairs)|- Little space between bed and wall in one of the bedrooms, you have to squeeze through which was annoying|- We didn’t realise that we had a microwave until day 3 as it looked like a top oven as someone had piled lots of grills and a grill tray in it|- No recycling||Neutral :|- Bring eye shades, what looks like a small green light in the bedroom ceilings for presumably fire escape reasons becomes a beacon lighting up the...

A little far from the action but not too far. ||All in all, we liked our stay here and would...

We booked 2 BR deluxe and it was fabulous. Very clean. Large units. Entry way is one step below street level but windows open to the back with good lighting. Bright and clean unit. Comfortable beds. Pictures are accurate. It was nice to be a few minutes away from the busy tourist streets—safe area to walk in and nice community feel. 2 fans are available, no air conditioning which was just fine in late June. Easy check in with key box, no need to arrange entry meeting which is great. Would...
