The hotel is superbly situated between two excellent restaurants and right by the beach. The rooms are beautifully modern with high-quality toiletries and a lovely balcony overlooking the waterfront, though the high window sill slightly restricts the view. The service is top-notch, professional, and not overbearing, with brilliant customer service and an excellent breakfast. Dining with great views and lovely crepes, along with facilities that meet expectations. However, the price may not fully reflect the value for money offered.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated with very comfortable beds, but unfortunately, the high window sills made it hard to enjoy the views, especially with the windows closed. However, the bridges could be seen from some rooms. The service was professional and the staff were not overbearing, with excellent customer service. The breakfast was superb despite some minor issues with the staff's manner. The location was convenient between two restaurants, fairly close to the airport, offering lovely views over the Forth. The dining experience was pleasant with orange juice served and healthy dishes available, though some may find it a bit pricey for what was offered.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The rooms offered stunning views of the rail bridge and were equipped with good facilities, but I did have the worst ever view. The service was impeccable, with staff making great efforts to ensure I had a pleasant stay. The location between two restaurants was convenient, but I found the pricing a bit high.
