Rosehall Hotel
I arrived late Friday night in Edinburgh. THe time coincided with the Edinburgh Festival and so almost all hotels were full. I walked in Rosehall Hotel and luckily found a room and the cost, I guess when compare among other guest house, was really cheap. My stay was 50 pounds per night.
Location - a bit remote from town. It took me 45 minutes to walk from the hotel to Edinburgh Castle. I guest it took me around the same time to walk from the hotel to Edinburgh Waverley Station.
Room - Room 4 was a cozy clean single room with lovely view. TV and water kettle were available. Not counting the one for water kettle, there were two electric sockets available. However, it was not a suite and the toilet, which I shared with no one, was several steps away from my room.
Washroom - It's a spacious washroom. I appreciated the armchair there and the four hooks there for me to place my bag and hang my clothes. There were also enough hanger to hang towels. Spacious bath tug for shower. I had to say the hot water temperature was not so constant but OK.
Internet access - Unfortunately, there was no Internet access in the hotel. I had to walked like 10 minutes (or took bus but I preferred walking) before I could find a cafe to access Internet.
Breakfast - I could choose between continental and Full British breakfast, but I had to tell the host the day beforehand if I opted the British breakfast. The British breakfasts were yummy :)
The host Teresa was very warm and I felt like home. I remember I was chatting with Teresa and another guest that I was visiting Highland the next day, and Teresa immediately awared that I could not join breakfast the next morning and offered that I could pack some bread, yoghurt, jam, cheeze etc for breakfast that evening. She didn't serve evening meal and could only help packing things for me. Seeing her grabbing things for me (the food, the plastic knife and spoon), I felt like my mum packing things for my school picnic. So despite no Internet and no Laundry service, I still stayed there for more nights than I've planned. By the way, I found the dining room and the staircase very lovely as well. I gave another credit that there is a church called Priestfield next to it. I attended Sunday service there and was received warmly :)
