I have been thinking about the hostel, and maybe I Was too hard on hostelling. After all, I did get a few hours of sleep, and the bed was comfortable and was clean-and it was inexpensive-not to mention it was nice to meet other travelers, many who we're going solo-which in a hotel you don't necessarily get the opportunity. SO I may do more hostelling. (not every night but maybe a few).
Anyway, I was so determined to do something different I spent big money on this hotel in cold rainy edinburgh. It is the largest hotel room I have stayed in to date, and is quite comfortable. I went to bed roughly about 9 last night I was so tired, and just got up. The pic below only shows a part of the room.
