The breakfast was outstanding have not had so many options and great food quality before in a 5 star. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable, it was lovely meeting them all. I loved the ambiance of the ship and would certainly stay in Leith again because the people there are very welcoming. We even saw the Fingal's manager talking to a few people at breakfast during our stay, he obviously cares about the hotel very much.

the staff here is wonderful and a nice job has been done in training the boat into a hotel. the room was very comfortable with a comfy bed and well appointed bath. the restaurant was OK. the water is very harsh on the metal boat exterior so a fresh coat of paint over some rust spots would be good. the red carpet up to the reception area is a nice touch.
