The hotel is superb, romantic and quiet. Beds and pillows are very comfortable. Our room on two levels was pleasantly quirky, quiet and spacious. The onboard restaurant offers high quality refined food and ample drinks options and is probably the best restaurant we tried in the whole of Edinburgh. Further to the above, the excellence and kindness of the personnel and their ability to help with all the requests we had while showing elegant mannerism and refined conversational skills rendered our stay and whole experience memorable and possibly one of the best in our holiday around the UK. Definitely recommended to those searching sophistication and elegance away from the crowds.

A hotel like no other.

The Fingal is a hotel like no other. The rooms are immaculate with more room than I expected and lots of inbuilt functionality and storage helping keep our luggage out of the way. Likewise the bathroom was much larger than expected. The fittings one fit out were beautiful with many great design elements providing a luxurious finish. The food onboard was amazing and breakfast each morning was looked forward to with views over Leith and the water. The tram stop a hundred meters from the door made it easy to get into and out of the city centre without fuss and ran late into the evening making a a great way to get around. Above all I must call out the staff. They were all friendly and engaging with nothing being too difficult. They were genuine and warm. A special mention to the ladies who served breakfast each morning we were there. Thanks for the recommendations and great start to each day. If you are lucky enough to stay here I strongly recommend the brulee porridge.

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.
