They hadn’t even got that far when I inspected it two weeks ago 👍 they’re only opening half of it initially 👍 typical Hearts - half arsed effort and looks garbage inside regardless 👍makes the Britannia look high end 👍

😀

Only opening half and they've not even sold out the opening weekend. 😂 And they think it's going to make them a million profit every year, or is it turnover? They don't seem to know which it is as Budge's gaslighting works on them every time.

I look forward to the Trip Advisor reviews. Punters aren't shy about voicing their opinions. Also, given modern insulation requirements for new builds etc, what happens in these windowless rooms when we hit one of our increasing heatwaves? I hope they have good aircon or those rooms will be uninhabitable. And that's before we get to the issue of how you air out a windowless room when one or two punters have been farting and breathing out alcohol all night and you have a two hour turnaround.

So much to look forward to as it all unfolds.

First trip advisor review just in.

"Best Hotel rooms in the Northern Hemisphere. Vermin not welcome. 5-1. HHGH. All the Hibees are gay. Bitter yooz haven't got a Hotel. GTSQ̶K."

£710 for a room from the 9th -11th February. However,

Free cancellation before 18:00 on 9 February 2024

Would be a crying shame if someone were to book said room and their plans change at the last minute...

£710 quid bloody hell. The Sheraton is £404 and Waldorf Astoria is £689 for same period.

£710 to stay in a half finished building site contained with a 70’s style monstrosity with no windows. But no wait the deal clincher…… a loan of GHD straighteners. That’ll definitely be a game changer.

Edit: for those looking in I’m so jealous I’m going to miss out on this opportunity.

I've stayed in a 3 bed en suite penthouse at Newhaven for less than that. Free underground parking, all round floor to ceiling windows and a balcony. All round views of the sea and city landmarks.

Guess it's understandable that the Gorgie mortuary style rooms will cost more.

But is the temporary occupation for the tradesmen sleeping over or the guests? 🤔😉

Temporary occupation certificate granted today.

Not many get service like that from our council.

Some of my best friends are not big, or clever but do visit Edinburgh and have been known to use booking sites and TripAdvisor so it's perfectly reasonable to respond to the marketing this unique venue is promoting.

Senior surveyor at the council who signs off happens to be a Jambo too 🤔 have to say though, he’s an absolute gentleman, good laugh, and a really really decent guy👍

Makes you wonder though 😂

They’ll increase revenue with the new hospitality and conferencing but Hibs will do likewise with the FF refit which sounds amazing.

I can see how for small conferences it may work hand in hand with their F&B operation, but as a guest/holiday hotel I think they'll struggle. The no windows thing is so bizarre, and people booking won't check that stuff, so cue lots of disgruntled punters (who will be written off as bitter hibbies etc) hitting the review sites to voice their displeasure. I for one cannot wait!

They’ve taken £350,000 advanced bookings - still unfinished and workmen having to stay over on site to ensure their soft launch this month👍 to cover the ‘no windows’ they’ve installed television screens that can ‘convey’ outside to create a feeling of space 😂

Nah, I don't believe you at all. Sooks, the kickback finance expert with the inside track on Bill Foley just so happens to also be an expert in hotel finance and he says they are going to make at least 1.5 mil a year.

Give them some credit as it appears they remembered to order beds for the rooms...

I believe the George Foulkes Suite has the only bed in the hotel that comes fitted with downpipes.

The Gary Locke Suite is the room directly below that one.

There's a Vladimir Romanov room, but it's cash only

I would not feel safe staying in that place even if it does get finished. Bearing in mind the absolute shambles that their unfinished main stand is and that its health and safety certificate was rushed through at the last minute when it clearly shouldn't have been awarded. Stadium powercuts, a malfunctioning fire alarm, Police Scotland having to contact the council about significant coners over fan safety in the stand weeks after it had been unveiled etc. No thanks. I can only assume whoever signed off on the stadium's health and safety certificate was a Hearts fan, someone put under major pressure from the club or both.

If he’s any inside track on BF’s plans then I’m afraid poor “Sooks” should be worried 👍 the plan for HTC and Easter Road redevelopment alone blows their wee hotel out the water 👍
