This was a unique sleeping and eating experience combined! The rooms were absolutely stunning, and the fact that you were sleeping on a large ship with such wonderful history, made it a unique experience. I highly recommend this to anybody traveling to Edinburgh.

An amazing experience recommended for that special occasion. Hotel is super high quality. Dinner and Breakfast were exceptional. The only negative was a particularly noisy table on Saturday night for dinner but they left after a while and it was a much more pleasant experience!

We had a wonderful two night stay at The Fingal. The staff were lovely as was the room, the bed was super comfy. The breakfast was delicious, it was lovely sitting in the dining room looking over the beautiful deck where you can sit outside and enjoy a drink or coffee in the sunshine. All in all it was totally amazing

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 property is of course, unique by design. There is no actual lobby, only the bar/restaurant on the 3rd floor. The service is excellent, the employees very cheerful and helpful. The deluxe cabin was adequate. The room had everything you need--mini-fridge, good shower, etc. There is no shelf space in the bathroom, so we had to keep our toiletry bag nearby. The location is a bit out of the way--not a great amount of choice of restaurants within walking distance. The hotel does offer a ticket to the Britannia, and that was a well appreciated perk!

10/10 to the Fingal Crew.

From the very first glimpse to the end of our stay i was blown away by The Fingal. Stunning boat with great history which was tied into the whole experience. The staff were amazing and treated us like kings even though we just had an overnight stay. Great location, walking distance to great pubs and restaurants. Tram runs by so easy to access Edinburgh and all that holds. Staff really were 10 out of 10 and made our stay memorable. Well done to The Fingal crew.
