We stayed on the Fingal for 2 nights to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary and were looked after by the staff from stepping onboard and disembarking. We stayed in one of the duplex suites that was stunning throughout. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend a stay on the Fingal.

We had a wonderful stay at Fingal hotel. We were celebrating my husbands 60th birthday. The staff were very welcoming, telling us about the history of the ship on arrival to taking our luggage to our room and also our arrival welcoming drink. Aaron our waiter at dinner was very attentive and helpful in our choices of food. Breakfast the next morning was faultless.

6/10 Good

Great service and staff! For the money, definitely not worth the experience. Room decor is so so and the boat sits at quite a tilt so you always feel like you have ‘sea legs’. Food at the restaurant was OK, the breakfast (eggs Benedict) was the best I’ve ever had.

Such a unique place to stay. From start to finish wonderful customer service. Great attention to detail in the room and throughout the Fingal. Very convenient to the tram. A good place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Such a fun, unique stay in Edinburgh! I love that the rooms are all named after light houses. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. When we told them we had a very early flight out, they offered to make us a bag of pastries to take at check out. The room was amazing— most places in cities like this are so tight, but we had a huge bed & shower. The balcony out to the deck with access to a lounge area was so relaxing.

Absolutely stunning. We genuinely felt special during our short stay and the staff were really nice. The food was amazing, our cabin was stunning. We just couldn’t fault anything. It was quite expensive to stay here but it was really worth every penny.

Staff were wonderful - couldn't do enough for you. Was greeted with champagne and a history of the boat on arrival. Breakfast is fabulous, my husband is still going on about the sourdough toast. Beautiful room with lots of lovely details that are a nod to the boats history. All in all, a wonderful stay in a unique hotel. Leith is a great area for bars and restaurants and a short tram ride from the centre of Edinburgh.
