If you have ever wondered if it is possible to live in a hotel, well, there are some that you can live in. Some hotels have en-suite kitchens. They may not have kitchenettes, but a small cooking area with a stove top oven and fridge. Unfortunately, often they do not supply pots and pans or any other forms of kitchen utensils, or cleaning supplies, to clear up after you. You have to wait for the hotel's cleaning services – included in the costs for sure.
If they do have kitchen utensils then you will most likely be supplied with just one pot for example. Now unless you plan to cook casseroles for the rest of your stay, you will need to buy more cooking utensils ...And unless you plan to move into your own apartment afterwards or into another hotel, everything you buy, you will most likely have to throw away, or you could try to sell them or put them into storage.
Such hotels often have laundry en-suite somewhere in the building. The service is not usually for free. You both have to hand it in and pay, or if it is a launderette then you will have to suffer the inconvenience of having to wait for your machine to complete the wash. You may not realise how convenient it is to have your own washing machine kept secure in your house or apartment until you choose to live in a hotel.
The hotel might provide an ironing board and iron, but would you really like to use their skanky board and old iron which could leak rust on your precious clothes? It has happened to me before.
Personally, I would always suggest a regular hotel instead. You will not have to worry about any of these things if you are staying in one of the luxurious Cairngorms hotels for instance. In short staying in a regular hotel while in Scotland makes more sense. If you want to stay in a hotel in Scotland indefinitely then a Central Glasgow hotel or one in any of the other cities will be as convenient as a flat in the centre of town.
