Really enjoyed our stay. Staff were all excellent. The ocean mist has been restored to a high standard. Rooms were comfortable and spotless clean. Surprised at how spacious the room was given it's in a boat. Lots of lovely personal touches. My husband was worried about motion sickness but was not a problem at all. Sitting out on the top deck eating breakfast in the sunshine was glorious. Only recommendation is that the continental breakfast would benefit from more variety, especially adding some fruit. Would definitely come back for another stay.

We had an amazing stay at Ocean Mist for honeymoon. We loved the cabins and the bathrooms everything was immaculate. The staff in their naval uniforms were very friendly and helpful and made our honeymoon special by decorating our cabin. The breakfast was amazing - the yummy bacon and cheese bread and huge croissants and pain au chocolat, fresh fruit bowls and all the lovely meats and cheeses. The bar area was comfy with a lovely view and setting. We loved all the games in the lounge area too. I don’t think this could be improved! It’s a fabulous special place to stay. Thank you all! The Royal yacht Britannia is in walking distance and definitely worth visiting, the Ship on the Shore seafood restaurant is just over the road - we loved the food there. And there is a bus stop nearby on the Edinburgh bus tours route.

Cool, one of a kind hotel!

This is a very unique hotel, convenient to the harbor area and within walking distance to the Edinburgh center by tram. The rooms are all a nautical style and beautifully decorated. Cool bar area as well. If you like unique hotels then this one is for you.

This place was awesome! The concierge told us about the history of the ship and let us view the remodeling pictures. He upgraded us to sleep in the original bridge part of the ship and we absolutely loved every part of it. The staff is excellent and the history is amazing. Plus, the glass around the engine compartment so you can see everything is a wonderful touch!
