3rd time here and unfortunately not a great experience this time. Having to ask to be served drinks, having to ask for the room to be made up, a stuffy room with noisy air conditioning… Felt completely overpriced and definitely not a 5 star experience. Sat outdoors both evenings and whilst the new seating is a great addition, the timber handrail and painted railings are looking tired
Drinks… finally…

I cannot fault the Fingal hotel in any way. Booked this as part of our mini moon after getting married in Scotland and it really lived up to expectations. From the moment we walked in, the staff were friendly and engaging, giving us tips on sights and restaurants in the area. The room itself (luxury cabin) was perfect for us, tastefully decorated and with a door going onto the deck upfront. We both slept really well and the mattress quality was excellent. The breakfast was divine, so many options to pick from and all executed perfectly. Special shout out to the staff at breakfast who were so cheerful and made it effortless to pick whatever we wanted from the menu. We had dinner on board the first night and it is truly fine dining, our plates were like pieces of art. One final fabulous feature of the boat is its elevator, which again, is tastefully designed in keeping with the rest of the interior as well as being spacious. I’m already planning when I can return to this wonderful hotel!

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.
