Pros:

Location was great (for our purposes). Room was good sized.

Didn't realize how close it would be to the train bridge. Was a bit loud as a result. Staff was nice but everything was a bit slow.

We had a lovely stay, our room was warm and cozy. The cooked breakfast was superb.
Pros:

Visiting family, ideal spot with great views. The female member of staff that we dealt with was very welcoming and friendly. She also served us breakfast both days, a great asset to the hotel.

There was a bit of activity outside late at night with people racing about in cars and on bikes.

An iconic view across the Firth!
Pros:

The reception staff were very kind and helpful when our two rooms were in different parts of the hotel. We both ended up with lovely views of the bridge in bright and spacious first floor rooms - worth paying extra for if you can! Overall a lovely experience

Cons:

Worth avoiding the cheapest category of room if you can!
