Great service, luxurious rooms. Leith is a really good location for food and drinks, and Fingal is near a tram stop for a short ride into the city centre

Such a beautiful and unique hotel experience. I only we wish we would have arrived early enough to sample dinner, because the restaurant and bar was beautiful. Worth the stay.
