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!

I cannot fault the Fingal hotel in any way. Booked this as part of our mini moon after getting married in Scotland and it really lived up to expectations. From the moment we walked in, the staff were friendly and engaging, giving us tips on sights and restaurants in the area. The room itself (luxury cabin) was perfect for us, tastefully decorated and with a door going onto the deck upfront. We both slept really well and the mattress quality was excellent. The breakfast was divine, so many options to pick from and all executed perfectly. Special shout out to the staff at breakfast who were so cheerful and made it effortless to pick whatever we wanted from the menu. We had dinner on board the first night and it is truly fine dining, our plates were like pieces of art. One final fabulous feature of the boat is its elevator, which again, is tastefully designed in keeping with the rest of the interior as well as being spacious. I’m already planning when I can return to this wonderful hotel!

Beautiful cabin, very attentive staff and excellen

A wonderful experience, the cabin was beautiful, although the bed was very high and not being very tall I was unable to climb onto it easily. However we were provided with a stool which made it easy. Delicious dinner and breakfast was excellent, freshly cooked. The tickets to visit the Royal Yacht Britannia was a bonus.
