Tbf if there are shitloads of reservations it’s not ‘unused hotel rooms’ anymore. I think hotel rooms’ should be rather a temporary solution while the government is searching for a more permanent shelter. If you decide permanently use a hotel to give people shelter, that’s a great thing but then it’s not a hotel anymore.
No, the city of edinburgh pays for these bookings.
That seems like a great initiative. It seems wild it can be completely undermined because someone famous is having a concert.

I’d imagine the same scenario for most of August for the festival too.
