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.

Fantastic stay aboard Fingal - warm welcome on arrival, beautiful room and amenities with some Scottish favourites of Fudge and Tunnocks in the room. All facilities were great. We had dinner in the Lighthouse restaurant and this was a great experience. Breakfast was a la carte and had a great range of choices for all palates. No rush and the service was second to none. Staff are warm, genuine and friendly - they maintain standards but make you feel at home in a heartbeat. Would definitely recommend a stay on Fingal if you are visiting Edinburgh
