I'm Off To A Wetherspoons HOTEL in Edinburgh Today! But Will The White Lady Live Up To Its Name?

I filmed a rare 'pre-travel' video today, mainly because of where I was staying. With an early flight from Edinburgh the next morning, I decided to position myself a bit closer to the airport. Where I spent the night was quite a surprise as I never even knew Wetherspoons HAD hotels, but how was the actual room and experience? Join me on a flying visit to the capital where I give you the full room tour, and it had an unexpected twist...

I don’t pretend to be a travel expert, but I love what I do and would be honoured if you came along with me. My channel focusses on the wide-eyed wonder and excitement of finding somewhere new, and my genuine reaction to it. You may not get a history lesson in my videos, but who knows, you might pick up some useful travel tips along the way, add a few destinations to your bucket list and hopefully be entertained by what you see. Thanks for watching, it means a lot to me :)
I do ALL of this myself. Planning, filming, editing, promoting, all with a weekly upload schedule, so please understand not every video will be an epic adventure. But my pledge is to always do my best in any situation and KEEP THE CAMERA ROLLING :)

FAQs:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Glasgow but have lived in Carnoustie, Dalgety Bay, Stonehaven, Edinburgh, Montrose, and further afield (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
Saturdays at 10am Scottish time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I film with a GoPro11 and my iPhone12. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc.
WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotels especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman.
WHERE'S ALICJA?
Alicja will feature whenever possible, but she has her own life and a proper job so it can take a while for our schedules to match up. Trust me though, I prefer it when She is there too!
DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
Yes I do. I've only ever accepted a complementary ticket as compensation for a previous problem. All my opinions are frank and honest reflections of travel as I experience it.
WHY THE ADS?
It's my income, I can't do this for free.
CAN I CONTACT YOU?
I used to list my email address but felt bad not having the capacity to respond to everything so took it down (and I got a LOT of spam so missed many genuine messages along the way).
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
Watching my videos is of course support enough, but if you'd like to support further, I'll pop links below for Paypal and Patreon. All kind donations are super-appreciated and will go 100% towards future filming trips.
DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS?
I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for RU-vid Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible.

I stayed at that hotel, mainly because it was the cheapest I could find at the time. Ironically I was amazed how good it was, considerably better than Travelodge or Premier Inn, loads of tea coffee and biscuits etc. they also seem to be individually decorated, as other Wetherspoons seem different to each other.

Similar story here.

Glad to have finally caught up, and seen all of those lovely/quirky places which you are understandably attracted to. Thank you so much for just being you, and for helping to distract me from my problems.

I worked in this pub for 7 years, a long time before it became the White Lady, back when it was called The Westbury. I started there at a youthful 17 years old as a glass collector on Friday and Saturday nights and by the time I left I was the bar supervisor. It's certainly changed a lot since those days. Thanks for the flashbacks though, the picture in your room that was drawn by a pupil from Corstorphine Primary (where I went to school too) is of the old parish church, which is also where I married my wife. I moved out of Corstorphine in 2000 but have lots of fond memories growing up there!

A good strategy to get off to an early start the next morning. The hotel looked good value for £80. A high level of cleanliness can make up for small deficiencies in a room but the tea and coffee tray was generously stocked. A lot of places could take a lesson out of their book. Well done!

Will you ever go back to the Castle to visit the various military museums now that you've moved out to Montrose? When I was there with family, they prohibited photos, but I believe you'll find a method to have that prohibition lifted for your channel, similar to your evening effort at the Rosslyn Chapel? I repeatedly review that video due to your unprecedented evening access to the Chapel -- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o3t91YxoZZY.html. It was so very well done!

@@sheenamaclean8324 perhaps not, but when you don't have the highest expections, Wetherspoons generally meets them. And while I have a definite love-hate relationship with them (I find the main owner a total prick, and not just because of his political views), I can appreciate how they have lovingly saved quite a few landmark locations from the wrecking ball, like the former cinema in Cambuslang (a horrible suburb of Glasgow, but what a pub!), or the North Western in Liverpool, or Hamilton Hall in Liverpool Street Station in London... There are better pubs around, but these were definitely not the worst i visited in my travels across the island.

When 'the white lady' walked through the room I thought "that's the perfect height for Alicja" and then she turned up. Really nice editing. I've been at the White Lady once, it wasn't bad at all. Wetherspoons might not be the best quality pub, but nevertheless they aren't bad places considering. I rather stay at a hotel+pub than a hotel in the UK. Hotels nowadays are almost all the same, wherever you are in the world. Pubs with lodgings like some Wetherspoons or Marston Inns always have a unique atmosphere when visiting. The hallways might be dull, the food might be more or less the same everywhere, they are still a unique feel you can only find in the UK. And I never had problems with the noise (Wetherspoons never have music: one of the reasons they can be cheap is by not paying music licenses and thus go without music). In fact, I never heard any noise from the pub when staying above one. I guess I've been lucky...

I have been in Wetherspoons' pubs/restaurants. They seem to offer good value on both food and beer. I like how they post in menus the prices of beer and other beverages and of decent quality and quantity. Remindes me of the chain bar/pub/resturants here in the USA like Chilli and Applebees. Actually Wetherspoons' does what pubs did generations ago, offer food, drink and accommodations. Certainty a good value place in a city, the kind of accommodations and pricing I like in my travels. Good to have the guest appearances of the 'ghost' and Alicja. We need to see her more and to keep you out of trouble. I can't wait until Saturday for the next stop in your adventures !

Thoroughly enjoyed your video! I live in Northern Virginia (Washington DC suburbs), and found it interesting to see you poking round your 'local' area, which is remote & exotic to me. I've been to Scotland (and England & Wales) numerous times in my youth (1970s-80s), thanks to my mom, who was a Briton living in the US, so it was nice to see some of your local area of Scotland, which brought back many happy memories of my earlier visits. We stayed at a hotel in the Haymarket area during one trip, I recall. Funnily enough, there's a town called Haymarket not far from me now. I don't think we ever saw a Wetherspoons pub during those trips, but they look nice, and very reasonably priced! (A beer at a bar/restaurant here in my suburban Virginia town is easily $6 to $9.) The hotel room looks very nice, too! Thanks for the videos. I really enjoy them, and your down-to-earth presentation. They are great!

Great video as always Steve! Very clever editing to spook us all with the ghost scene - that must have been well thought out. Well done both of you. I was just wondering when you showed us the windows and the outside - what if the hotel had (God forbid) gone on fire? I was trying to figure out what your escape route would be. Looking forward to future videos of your travels!

Great bonus video. I always prefer a proper bath in a hotel room as opposed to a shower. Lovely to see Alicja pop up as well. I wasn’t expecting that - I thought the white lady was in your dreams! Can’t wait to see where you are going.

Steve finally meets a fan! 🤣😎 i had to see why others bash Wetherspoons, wasn’t surprised that it’s mostly people following anti-corporate trends and who overpay for the same ales and cheap food. as for the hotel, they’re using otherwise empty space that cost them little compared with the money gained from room rentals and makes the places into inns father than pubs!

@@steve-marsh no worries, you have a right to eat and drink where you want and as you rely on support from patrons you chose to do it for as cheap as you can even if it’s a corporate location so you’re showing us that your patron money isn’t being squandered

Once again Steve you've shown you're worth your recent RU-vid award. I could have predicted you'd go for the Spoons Curry (love their curry nights). It was also great to see you had your very own "White Lady" with you. I hope she enjoyed the Christmas Market as much as I did. Looking forward to the next part of the trip. All the best from Perth.

Thanks for the video. You amaze me with how well you get around….i was wondering how you were going to get to airport and how you found out about the bus and when and where to find it. I don’t know how you manage. I would spend so much time figuring that stuff out. Good work as always.

Well Steve, I never thought that I'd see one of your videos featuring Corstorphine, where I'm from in Edinburgh (ok, I left a good few years ago but am back a least 5/6 times a year)!! The White Lady has a long history - any local of a (cough) certain age will remember when it was Dingwalls Furniture Store. That closed and was demolished (late seventies?) and a pub, The Westbury, was built, later becoming The Agenda. Wetherspoons took over around 2011, called it The White Lady and added the hotel. End of history lesson :) Happy New Year Steve and well done for the RU-vid plaque!

My wife and I stayed in a 'Spoons hotel in Kings Lynn in October, visiting for my sister's funeral. The double room cost us £65, and like yours was very comfortable and quiet. I was very impressed by the food and booze on offer in the pub, as well - superb value. Had a few local craft IPAs at less than £2 a pint, so I tried them all, and had a really good gammon steak for food. My wife's fish & chip was very good too. Really enjoyed it, and thoroughly recommend. Good video as usual, love the walks around the back-streets you do, they give a proper idea of wherever you are - great stuff. My favourite RU-vid channel by far. Thank you!
