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.

The Fingal is an outstanding hotel- a wonderful place to stay. Staff are all so helpful and can’t do enough for you- we felt we were looked after so well by the staff and we will definitely be planning a return trip. We have also highly recommend The Fingal to several of our friends.

An experience that is as special as it is unique. A truly memorable luxury hotel. Like being aboard your own personal super yacht moored in the historic port of Leith.

We had a fantastic stay and would love to come back. The tram to the city centre is just outside and then we caught the tram to the airport. Go and see the Royal Britannia, that was amazing and the restaurants and pubs around Leith are lovely.
