“Rosehall Hotel struck me as a cozy Edinburgh stay, the kind of place where the staff remember your name. I appreciated its location, a bit removed from the festival bustle, but with Arthur's Seat practically in view. It's the sort of spot that makes you feel like a local, not just a tourist.”

the room was acceptable though nothing stood out in particular.

I was really disappointed with the bathroom. The shower temperature fluctuated wildly. it went from icy cold to scalding hot without warning. Trying to adjust it was quite difficult. the lighting was also poor , made the whole experience unpleasant
