The Bedroom
House Rules
There
are only three house rules.
The first is please read and familiarise yourself with the fire drill situated on the door of your room - it's not good enough to simply scream, faint and wait to be carried out of the building!
The
second is our no smoking policy, which applies to the whole
house and is in complience with legislation. We take this matter very
serioulsy so if you're not prepared to observe the no smoking
policy, please stay elsewhere (we used to have a joke in here but
we took it out in case readers thought we were just kidding!).
Lastly, please don't flush little intimate objects down the loo. These should simply be wrapped in toilet paper and deposited in the bin provided.
Extras
If
you need anything you can summon help by pressing the Ring for Attention
bell. We live on the first floor so, in an emergency, we can be contacted
there. Be prepared, however, to catch us with our curlers in! You may,
for example, need glasses, ice or cutlery if you're eating in your room
- no curries please! You may need to make an emergency phone call. You
may even need old towels if you find Edinburgh isn't exciting enough and
you decide to stay home and dye your hair! Yes, people do do this and
they make a right mess of our lovely white towels in the process! It's
just possible too that we've forgotten some of the essentials in your
room. If, therefore, there's no loo roll please don't feel obliged simply
to 'make do'!
The message is simple: whatever you want, please ask. We're only too willing to do anything to make your stay at Garlands as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
Other Information
You
can control the heating in your room and you'll find additional blankets
in the wardrobe. We find it very helpful when guests pay their bill either
on arrival or on the day before departure - seeing to bills at breakfast
has been known to result in an unexpected fire drill!
On the final day of your stay, please vacate your room by 10.00am as we need time to turn the room around for the next lucky occupants. If you want us to look after your luggage until later in the day we will do our best to accommodate. Finally, if you have any comments about your stay, we want to hear them - good and bad, the latter so that we can remedy matters and the former because it makes us feel good!
We hope you enjoyed reading this and we look forward to looking after you during your stay.
