Amazing accommodation
What a fantastic place to sta
From the warm welcome as you board the ship, the efficient check in with some nice Scottish products to sample with your tea or coffee.
A very spacious and comfortable bedroom with lovely bathroom with nice toiletries included
The bar is exceptional and with the most attentive staff
Buffet breakfast is included and there is plenty of choice
The nautical theme is evident in the staff uniforms and there are lots of photos of the history and suburb refurbishment of the ship
There are local restaurants and close to the tram line and busses to whisk you into the centre of the city
If I happen to be looking for accommodation again this will be my first choice

Excellent location & beautifully restored. Bed was so comfy. Place was spotlessly clean.
Staff couldn’t have been, more friendly, knowledgeable or helpful. Owners son (barman )was a stand out member of staff. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic
Stayed for one night to take in Edinburgh Christmas Markets and for my wife's 40th. Could not ask for more. The ship is absolutely immaculate and the bed was immensely comfortable. Great service and lovely continental breakfast, although a bit crowded at breakfast time. Would not hesitate to book again if staying up in Edinburgh.
