We had a great stay - service was consistently good, food and drink were excellent, and I was impressed with the quality of the fit-out of the boat

The Fingal Hotel in Edinburgh Scotland was an excellent choice from the time my husband and I walked in. The Fingal Crew was amazing! We had a stunning breakfast and had dinner twice in the upscale restaurant in which they only use the finest ingredients. The Fingal crew was excellent in every aspect! I recommend this experience to anyone wanting something different. We will use this same floating hotel if visiting Edinburgh Scotland again!

The hotel is superb, romantic and quiet. Beds and pillows are very comfortable. Our room on two levels was pleasantly quirky, quiet and spacious. The onboard restaurant offers high quality refined food and ample drinks options and is probably the best restaurant we tried in the whole of Edinburgh. Further to the above, the excellence and kindness of the personnel and their ability to help with all the requests we had while showing elegant mannerism and refined conversational skills rendered our stay and whole experience memorable and possibly one of the best in our holiday around the UK. Definitely recommended to those searching sophistication and elegance away from the crowds.

This was a unique sleeping and eating experience combined! The rooms were absolutely stunning, and the fact that you were sleeping on a large ship with such wonderful history, made it a unique experience. I highly recommend this to anybody traveling to Edinburgh.

We booked a one-night stay on The Fingal to try something unique during our 2-week vacation in Scotland. It did not disappoint… in fact, it exceeded our expectations! The room was large and extremely comfortable. The bathroom and shower were great too. The only negative was that half of the room was on a slight decline but it wasn’t an issue for us. The food at dinner and breakfast was phenomenal and the staff went above and beyond to make sure every need of ours was met. Highly recommend this amazing experience!

The property is of course, unique by design. There is no actual lobby, only the bar/restaurant on the 3rd floor. The service is excellent, the employees very cheerful and helpful. The deluxe cabin was adequate. The room had everything you need--mini-fridge, good shower, etc. There is no shelf space in the bathroom, so we had to keep our toiletry bag nearby. The location is a bit out of the way--not a great amount of choice of restaurants within walking distance. The hotel does offer a ticket to the Britannia, and that was a well appreciated perk!

If you are looking for a high end experience with foodie dining, impeccable service and a luxurious room, you have found your place. 5 minute walk from Britannia, you could stay on the ship and never leave. If they added a spa experience I probably wouldn't. This is the type of hotel where they put chocolates on your pillow. I've already recommended it to others in the country to at least check out the dining. Wonderful experience.
