Excellent Experience
An excellent experience. We loved the ambiance and the staff were so attentive and friendly. Rooms were immaculate and accommodating. Very close to a great distillery tour and the HMS Britannia - both are awesome tours.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent stay overall ! We loved the quiet location, but still close to amazing dining options . The tram is right across the hotel which makes it very easy to get to the tourist areas . If you like walking it’s only two miles from most sights . The tour of HMS Britannia is included in the hotel stay and it’s only ten minutes from the hotel . Also, the breakfast was amazing with vegetarian options . The staff was very attentive and detail oriented .

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

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.

6/10 Good

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
