The Fingal is an amazing place to stay. Treated so well, the staff, truly are fantastic. Food was delicious. The rooms are unique & so so comfy. I slept like a baby… for me that’s a huge thing! We will without a doubt be back to stay again.
To see how the ship once operated was so interesting & we loved that we could also visit the Royal Yacht Britannia too. With complimentary tickets. All in all a stay we will remember for a long time. Thank you Fingal.

I don’t know how to put into words just how amazing our stay was. Even before check in staff were attentive and in communication to make sure even the tiniest want was attended to. Staff were friendly and courteous without being overbearing, the facility quite literally sparkled and the rooms exceeded every and any expectation we had. From the exceptionally comfortable linens to the little touches like scents quietly diffused into the room this was easily the best hotel experience I’ve ever had; I may have shed a tear on the way to the airport wanting to never leave

Such a beautiful and unique hotel experience. I only we wish we would have arrived early enough to sample dinner, because the restaurant and bar was beautiful. Worth the stay.

Great service, luxurious rooms. Leith is a really good location for food and drinks, and Fingal is near a tram stop for a short ride into the city centre
Wonderful staff, unique hotel. Everything felt high-end, very nice. Great food.

Excellent Experience
An excellent experience. We loved the ambiance and the staff were so attentive and friendly. Rooms were immaculate and accommodating. Very close to a great distillery tour and the HMS Britannia - both are awesome tours.

Excellent stay overall ! We loved the quiet location, but still close to amazing dining options . The tram is right across the hotel which makes it very easy to get to the tourist areas . If you like walking it’s only two miles from most sights . The tour of HMS Britannia is included in the hotel stay and it’s only ten minutes from the hotel . Also, the breakfast was amazing with vegetarian options . The staff was very attentive and detail oriented .

Truly luxurious and thoroughly enjoyable. Staff, food, rooms and service all 5 Stars. Team stop just a minute walk so easy to go into Edinburgh in 15 minutes using Tram. Complimentary tickets to Royal Brittania were a welcome surprise. Wonderful all round
