Lovely old Inn
Pros:

This is a lovely old inn in a perfect spot for touring. It is practically under the Forth rail bridge so you will here regular trains but they stop about midnight. Across the road is the pier for the boat to Incholme island which is a lovely trip.
The room was very large with seaview. It was very clean and the large bed was comfy.
The staff are exceptionally nice they cant do enough for you and are all very friendly.
The breakfast is lovely, I didnt eat at any other time.
This is a good base for Edinburgh and Ingliston shows.
Really enjoyed my stay and would recommend

Cons:

Only minor issues.
There were no seats in the room , only a seat at the desk. Its a huge room and could have done with a small sofa or comfy chair.
Lighting could have been better with only one spot light in the ceiling.
The main door after hours is controlled with a fob on your key. I was late back and although the fob worked the door wouldnt open no matter how I tried. Fortunately there was someone still working and heard me knock on the window.

Pros:

It met our needs for an overnight stay. It's a bit dated, and a bit noisy. We had to have white noise playing in the back ground. Something was flapping about. The location is quaint, slight industrial, but a cute area.

Cons:

The noise.

Wouldn’t go back
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Wasn’t particularly clean in corridor it rooms. Mound in shower.
Staff weren’t particularly friendly but likely because they were understaffed. Supervisor came across as rude. Food portions were stingy and overpriced

Fantastic weekend in a lovely hotel
Pros:

Very spacious, nicely presented, family rooms. Bed very comfy. Helpful, friendly staff and good food. Lovely views across the water and of the bridges.

Cons:

Not hotels fault, but Saturday night saw 'boy racers' with noisy motorbikes and cars go back and forth till the early hours. As our room is next to the road it did disturb sleep initially. Sunday night was lovely and peaceful, though.

Camera molto grande e spaziosa. Presente anche il bollitore e il necessario per fare caffè/te. Al piano di sotto si trova anche il pub dove è possibile cenare e fare colazione.

Top Lage, sehr gutes Frühstück, preislich aber unangemessen teuer
Pros:

Die Lage direkt an der historischen Eisenbahnbrücke ist einmalig

Cons:

Das Zimmer ist sehr einfach. Es ist ausgestattet für Gäste mit körperlichen Einschränkungen.
Für uns war es nicht angenehm
Das Fenster hat die ganze Nacht durch den Wind geklappert - es hat uns den Schlaf geraubt
Das Zimmer hat einfachste Ausstattung und war für die Kosten unangemessen zu teuer

NON FIDATEVI
Pros:

Nulla

Cons:

Ci hanno contattato la mattina stessa del check-in da Booking che la struttura non poteva accoglierci perché chiusa. La struttura un ora prima per mail ci aveva chiesto di fare il check-in. Avevamo prenotato anche la cena da loro. Ci hanno lasciato senza nulla con due bambine piccole, senza un minimo di scusa dopo aver scritto una mail. Non vogliono i soldi prima ma il pagamento in loco. Secondo me lo fanno per cercare fino all’ultimo di collocare la camera ad un prezzo migliore. Stiamo attendendo il rimborso da Booking ma ci hanno rovinato una giornata

Beeindruckende Brückensicht und viel Chame hat das Hotel. Gutes essen und Gemüdlich.
Pros:

Das verwinkelte und die sehr schön stimmige Dekoration. Das Bett war super bequem.

Cons:

Wir wurden am Abend nicht sehr freundlich empfangen. Wir wurden nicht informiert wie wir Einlass funktioniert nach 22 Uhr ins Hotel und wurden nicht aufmerksam gemacht das wir die Autonummer in einem speziellen PC eingeben mussten. Haben wir daher nicht gemacht weil wir das Schild erst sahen nach 22 Uhr und wir kein Einlass mehr an die Bar/Rezeption hatten wo sich das Gerät befand. Sonst war alles andere top.

Pros:

Quel bel établissement, contînuez à le faire vivre ! Les chambres sont magnifiques. Nous avons passé un très bon moment.
Merci pour le très bon petit déjeuner et le délicieux dîner. L'hôtel est plutôt bien situé par rapport à Edimbourg. Les Écossais sont adorables, merci de votre amabilité générale.
