We loved that it was a boat. It’s so convenient for the tram and parking was taken care of. The choice of place to dine was excellent and the staff could not have been more helpful.

There was no restaurant, however, a very good continental breakfast was served in the bar/lounge.
The room had no television.
Despite this, the stay was enjoyable and somewhat novel.

Great unique 2 night stay while we explored Edinburgh during the Fringe. Cabin was perfect. Big comfy bed, strong shower and quality finish throughout. Breakfast at the bar each morning was lovely and the staff couldn’t be more helpful. Tony was so professional despite the demands of the crowded 9am sitting. Reception were likewise and the young barman who served us on our first night was the perfect host. Tram stop is minutes away from the ship so getting to the city centre when we didn’t fancy the hike up Leith Walk was great. Hope to be back next year.

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!

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.
