Pros:

Good location and helpful staff on night 1

Cons:

Damp small room, food for dinner was dry and poor. Challenged by member of staff day 2 that we had not paid for breakfast and said we were wrong. Overcharged for dog stay. Trains overhead stop at midnight and restart 5AM, boy racers revving until 1AM. Not a great experience.

very disappointing - overpriced and certainly not to be repeated.
Pros:

Food was mediocre -no guests sitting area only directed to bar! Bedrooms very basic - no anti slip mat in shower- could provide one if asked but was ready to use shower - soap nailed to the wall in shower and same at wash basin!!

Cons:

i would honestly say almost every thing.

Nice accomodation , poor service poor cuisine
Pros:

Hotel location was excellent, Room was large and comfortable with excellent views of the Forth

Cons:

Staff had to be directed by management to check us in as we stood for circa 10 minutes waiting to be attended whilst 5 members of staff milled around ignoring the fact that guests were waiting to be served .
Evening meal was very poor with one main course having to be sent back to the kitchen twice to be cooked properly before staff were informed to forget it and please have the course removed from the bill.
