Such a fun, unique stay in Edinburgh! I love that the rooms are all named after light houses. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. When we told them we had a very early flight out, they offered to make us a bag of pastries to take at check out. The room was amazing— most places in cities like this are so tight, but we had a huge bed & shower. The balcony out to the deck with access to a lounge area was so relaxing.

Staff were wonderful - couldn't do enough for you. Was greeted with champagne and a history of the boat on arrival. Breakfast is fabulous, my husband is still going on about the sourdough toast. Beautiful room with lots of lovely details that are a nod to the boats history. All in all, a wonderful stay in a unique hotel. Leith is a great area for bars and restaurants and a short tram ride from the centre of Edinburgh.

This is a treat for our anniversary and this place is unique in its own way. We arrived prior to check in time and left our luggage at the reception and enjoyed our glass of champagne. We were given tickets to visit the Royal Yacht Britannia which we enjoyed very much. As the Fingal is part of the business of the Britannia, Fingal gives a feeling of Royalty in an modernised Britannia. The breakfast was a surprise in its top quality and variety of choices and the service is excellent! We shall return.
