    In my lifetime of over 7 decades, I can safely say I've been in scores of hotels all over the world, from zero to 5 stars and every room has had a window. Some overlooking a scruffy alley, others the glittering blue sea of the Caribbean. Windows always.

    So 22 rooms at around £150.

    £3300 a night x 30 nights = £99,000 a month

    @ 80% occupancy = £79,920

    Minus costs and commissions which is around 50%

    So maybe around £40,000 a month profit.

    Maybe have dining and bar sales but it’ll def be under £1,000,000 profit a year.

    I’d guess £500k-£600k profit.

    It’s not massive money for a football club.

    When would it start to make a profit given the cost?

    Imagine cost would’ve been funded by JA donations

    You need to take a sleeping bag and roll mat as they'll forget to order the beds.

    I’ve been on record already saying I think it’s a bonkers idea. But if it makes them 500k profit a year then I fail to see the negative in that.

    Are you able to post them? I am not seeing them on the site.

    Have to agree with JohnM that if half a million was achieved then that’s definitely not to be sniffed at.

    Even if I wanted to stay in the hotel (which I wouldn’t of course) I would not have a hope in hell of securing a booking with the email address that I’ve chosen 🤭

    Premier hotel prices for budget motel facilities.

    You’d need a bit more than a pair of maroon slippers and dressing gown from club shop and a loan of Ann Budge’s old hair straightener’s to elevate you into the luxury market.

    I'd be surprised if they get anything close to 80% for Monday to Thursday, especially the larger rooms. Unless you're a Jambo, who's going to pay £250 - £350 a night? You're creeping well into Sheraton and Hilton territory.

    Rooms don't look bad though to be fair.

    I think some rooms face the plaza, the renders suggest windows. Some of the other renders look at the wall where the window would be and then it’s the live stream telly instead. If you imagine the typical hotel plan, with a corridor down the middle and the rooms either side, the livestream rooms are likely on the inside pitch side of the plan. If they had thought this through when designing the stand, windows could have been accommodated within the plan form, but of course they didn’t

    Can't put a price on the chance to slip out of the old corduroy's for a night of passion with the trouble and strife at the home of "the famous".

    Proper maroon cardigan with the plastic gold coloured buttons occasion by the sounds of it.

    I remember "Hibs" investing in a pub chain, another line of income that couldn't fail. That did not go well. To make the 500K the place needs to be full every night. Once the novelty weara of it'll be on Groupon...

    For an extra £10 you get room service from Old Budgie.

    Extra £50 you get a night visit from her

    Thanks. Have to say if those illustrations are how the rooms turn out then they’ve done well with the space they had to work in. The picture on the wall of the Roseburn room is a little comical but no surprise the “plaza rooms” have a huge window. The illustration doesn’t quite tell the true story of the view mind.

    The Fingal at Leith has very few window but is definitely a luxury product. I’m not sure tynecastle has the same romance but it will have appeal to some.

    Sorry but the Fingal doesn’t have the facilities to loan out GHD’s. It’s what all the big, famous and luxurious hotels in Gorgie do.

    I have this image in my head that the GHD’s will have a chain with an old steel wheel attached to them aligned to an American style gas station m, when they are borrowed so no one can steal them.

    Why not just have a hairdryer in each room like your most basic hotels do. Folk will bring their own straighteners??

    The curtain for extra authenticity on a fake window is very stylish.



    Barely enough floor space to twirl a scarf



    Relax on the sofa and enjoy looking at the back of a TV propped on top of a table at the end of the bed.

    I'm sure I can see vast herds of wildebeest crossing the Serengeti out that window....

    You need to go and try book a room and then it come up re availability and pictures. The non window rooms appear to be a monitor on the wall showing a live stream of Tynecastle pitch or a castle view. Oh my sides 🤣🤣🤣

    The top of the Megasuperhotelstadium that Vlad was going to build?

    Must be finished by now as he sent an impressive bigly pile of drawings in cardboard boxes to their chums in the council.

    A camera atop one of Vlad’s old periscopes would probably do the job.
