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.

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

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.
