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 Fingal is a real gem, such a different hotel experience, it’s like being swept back to the days of the titanic, without the fear of an iceberg ! The staff were amazing, and really went out of their way to accommodate us, despite us being late for dinner. Can’t thank the hotel team enough it was an amazing experience.
