Memories surfaced that are now woven into shared experiences with adult children for occasion and serendipitous discover
Pros:

Colour. Style. Elegant yet quirky inclusions of Inchcolm history. Quiet achieved despite location near train and lift. Parking proximity. Walkability for city life experiences.

Fabulous - highly recommend
Pros:

Quirky funky little boutique hotel. Big rooms. Comfy beds. Delightful staff, especially the lady who was on at nights doing the cocktails.

Cons:

There was nothing we didn't like. If we would change anything, it might be to have a few more choices in the grab and go breakfast selection, but honestly it was fine.

Pros:

The location is great, and a car park behind has a $10 weekend rate all day! The beds were comfy and the free barista coffee was really lovely. Staff were lovely that worked out of hours to fix our issues.

Cons:

We have been to the hotel many times but this time there were a few things that disappointed. The TV remote was missing, only one gown in the wardrobe and no hangers, and the telephone didn't work when I tried to call reception. The bathroom sink was blocked, and the floor had not been cleaned. The lift is a charming reminder of days of old, but it was very noisy from our room on the landing and we didn't get much sleep.
