Perfect. Loved the hotel the staff the food.

Fantastic location for a quiet and tranquil break

Perfect

Our Fingal stay was awesome! It's a beautiful hotel. The staff was wonderfully helpful and pleasant. The room was comfortable with everything we needed.

Wonderful facility and extraordinary staff…always ready to help with reservations, tickets etc. Dinner, served in their bar, is pricey and very mediocre. Breakfast, on the other hand, was wonderful

Great staff especially Callum the Concierge,breakfast outstanding.

Everything was first class. We cannot wait to go back!

Excellent find out for yourself

Beautiful room in an interesting floating hotel. Worth paying a little extra to stay on The Fingal. Staff were polite and accommodating, room was spacious and comfortable, food was excellent. Also received free tickets to visit the Royal Yacht Britannia.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Fingal. Very unique experience and staff made it so pleasurable. Would definitely stay here again in this special hotel.

Who would have thought you could take an old ship, completely gut the insides, and make a luxury hotel out of it? Well, it sort of works, but it does have its drawbacks. Pros: the Fingal is tied up in the Port of Leith, a portion of Edinburgh 2½ miles from the city center. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Of course, as a tourist, it is nice to be stationed in the city center, the potential negatives being the constant crowds. Leith itself, though, is a very nice location and only a block from the Fingal, there is a high density of interesting bars and restaurants in the Port area to choose from (it’s not a scruffy area as you might think when you hear “port,” so that’s good). Also, it is very easy to get into the city center as a tram runs right by the hotel (L 3.80 per person round-trip) and it takes about 25 minutes to get to the Royal Mile. You are also near the tour of the Royal Yacht Britannia if that appeals to you. The staff is great and very attentive. The beds are great. There is a restaurant on top that is said to be excellent, but we didn’t get to try it because it was booked. Cons: Your room has been carved out of the innards of a ship. While way more spacious than typical ship staterooms, the design is quirky. Quirks include that you don’t get normal windows, but just sparse/small portholes (this was not originally a cruise ship). An oddity is that the toilets are negative-pressure vacuum toilets. Think of the airplane lav “foosh” sound

Absolutely superb! The refurb of this ship is simply amazing, be sure to tour the engine room. Definitely eat dinner in the beautiful restaurant because the chef is very talented . The staff are wonderful

Perfect location Walking distance to the Royal Yacht Britannia Convenient tram stop to the city centre Car rental nearby

Excellent Stay, The staff were incredible they could not do enough for us, will be going back soon

Had a great stay. Staff was wonderful. Accommodations were excellent. Had a sit down full breakfast with the room. Tram stops just a short walk from the ship

Amazing lovingly restored ship - so many special touches, like the rooms named after lighthouses with their accompanying pictures, the Noble Island products, the incredible food. The staff was very attentive, solicitous and very informative too - ask for the ship’s tour. Incredible stay!

One of the best overnights ever!!!

The service from the moment we stepped in was superb, staff were very accommodating and nothing was too much bother, rooms were absolutely stunning, the breakfast was 10/10 and I would highly recommend this hotel to anybody, and is the perfect location for a special occassion

Fantastic service. Stayed as part of our honeymoon. Had afternoon tea which was amazing. Very friendly and informative staff. Perfect.

Really close to the team into Edinburgh in a safe and quiet area. The staff is extremely polite.

Very unique hotel. So cool living onboard a floating hotel for the night. The room décor is lovely, as is the rest of the boat, and the staff onboard could not be nicer or more helpful. The breakfast was amazing (smoked salmon starter and full Scottish breakfast) and any time we called for items to be brought to our room, the service was super fast. It is not the cheapest but all in all, an excellent hotel and well worth a visit for a special occasion or just a well earned treat.

We can't rate the Fingal highly enough, 5 stars doesn't do it justice. From the moment you step on board every member of staff helps to give you a unique experience that you will never forget. Your are welcome to explore the whole boat and a member of staff will even accompany you and give you a wonderful explanation of the history of the Fingal. It's the little personal touches and the amazing customer service that just makes it so extra special. The food & cocktails are also deserve a special mention because they too are exceptional. The best ingredients, and prepared with care and attention makes for a wonderful dining and drinking experience.

Outstanding in every way

It was fabulous, friendly, unbelievable although a bit expensive. The staff were fantastic, the room amazing and the food was brilliant.

everything was perfect. great location, bed, shower and restaurant. the staff were excellent and a special thanks to the gentlemen from Liverpool who was on reception. He went out of his way to help us. much appreciated and looking forward to staying again.

Absolutely outstanding. Lovely, friendly staff, superb food. lovely cabin.

Stayed for 1 night for birthday gift to my partner. Everything from the minute we entered the hotel was perfect. We stayed in a luxury duplex cabin and it was really lovely. Had everything you could want plus more. Dinner was really delicious. Great value. Great cocktails too. Breakfast was also great. High quality ingredients cooked to perfection. Staff were all lovely too. Would highly recommend.

This is our third stay within about 6 months which says it all. We don’t usually return to the same hotels as enjoy trying something different but already discussing our forth trip! I can’t say enough good things about this place, the attention to detail, the beautiful rooms and decor but most importantly the incredible service. Fingal has the best breakfast of any hotel I’ve ever been to (you have to have the salmon!) it’s the perfect location to explore Edinburgh with a tram stop right outside, but in a quiet location out of the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Thank you Fingal as always and we look forward to returning

As always, one of the finest hotels. Staff are fantastic and food exceptional. When we are in the UK we always visit.

Very special stay. Such a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend

A fantastic experience from start to finish. Not hard to see why it is so highly rated. Unique boutique hotel on water, great food, fabulous service. Will certainly be back.

Had a fab stay at the Fingal to celebrate my brother-in-laws 60th birthday. This place is amazing. The staff go above and beyond and nothing is to much trouble, felt very special from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. We will be back in the near future Thank you Fingal staff.
