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 property is of course, unique by design. There is no actual lobby, only the bar/restaurant on the 3rd floor. The service is excellent, the employees very cheerful and helpful. The deluxe cabin was adequate. The room had everything you need--mini-fridge, good shower, etc. There is no shelf space in the bathroom, so we had to keep our toiletry bag nearby. The location is a bit out of the way--not a great amount of choice of restaurants within walking distance. The hotel does offer a ticket to the Britannia, and that was a well appreciated perk!

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.

A Truly Magical Experience – Perfection in Every Detail From the moment we arrived, our stay aboard Fingal was nothing short of magical. Returning for a second visit, my husband and I were reminded of why we fell in love with this extraordinary place. Its elegance, charm, and distinct atmosphere are unlike anything we’ve ever experienced—and we knew we simply had to come back. Every aspect of our stay was exceptional: the cuisine was exquisite, the service flawless, and the team of staff members exuded a warm, friendly professionalism that made us feel instantly at home. Special thanks must go to Charlie, one of the managers, whose thoughtful attention to our personal story elevated this visit to something truly unforgettable. His genuine care and understanding made a world of difference, and we are deeply grateful. What truly sets Fingal apart is its people. The staff are an outstanding team—enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and always ready with a smile. Their passion and pride shine through in every interaction. Whether you’re planning to stay overnight, dine on board, or simply visit, Fingal offers an experience you will cherish forever. Don’t hesitate—book it now. You’ll never regret it.
