This hotel is a boat!

First of all, it was not apparent to us when we made a reservation that THIS IS A BOAT! Since we're avid boaters we were delighted to learn that our hotel was floating. This is a charming hotel and the staff were especially friendly. Our only issues were that the breakfast room is quite small and we had a hard time finding a place to sit. Also, since it is a boat our bathroom floor was quite sloped and we had concerns about slipping on the tiled floor, which was very slick.

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.

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.

Wonderful Stay at Ocean Mist

We had a phenomenal stay at the Ocean Mist. The rooms were so comfortable and well designed. The location of the boat was perfect for our adventures in Edinburgh and Leith, including its proximity to the tram. There are plenty of nearby restaurants that are steps away from the boat. We appreciated the breakfast to get each morning started each day. It was an extra plus to visit the bar and enjoy drinks on the deck, whilst enjoying the sunshine and people watching.

1. Rooms are very small. No room to even park the bags in a corner. The smallest rooms ever in my life. Claustrophobic. 2. No lift so if you have bags , you have to lug them to the room. Staff can do it for you 3. Breakfast was meh - - continental only - no coffee machine for cappuccino etc - staff not very welcoming 4. The River boat looks good in pictures- the River itself is quite dirty 5. The shower water is not hot - says 38 Celsius but it’s not even that hot - if you enjoy hot showers forget it
