This hotel was outstanding, great service from the front desk staff, room service staff, bar/breakfast room staff! Everyone was so friendly and hospitality was outstanding, everyone made our stay spectacular! Would definitely recommend and return for another stay!! All the staff were so knowledgeable of the area and recommended sites and restaurants in the area did not disappoint. The boat was always clean and staff were always at the ready to ensure all our needs were taken care of.

Beyond my expectations. The check-in experience was smooth, every employee was extremely kind, helpful, and friendly. The room itself was lovely, the washroom was so beautiful we’ve actually chosen to renovate one of our home washrooms with similar green tile. I couldn’t believe how efficient the air conditioning was, as well. The bed was comfortable, the amenities were great, and everything was peaceful. We sat outside for breakfast and I truly felt like the main character of a romantic comedy. The location is nearly unbeatable. It’s close to so many beautiful places to explore, incredible food spots, and local shops. We especially loved the “do not disturb” cat.

The hotel is located in a ship with a varied history - used during wartimes, but also for trade, then for a playboy‘s party life, it had been left unused for many years before the current owners restored it. Hotel rooms are designed as cabins with en-suite bathrooms, breakfast and drinks are served in the upper deck. We loved the design of the rooms and common areas - high quality and nicely classic without any kitsch. Service was impeccable, and while breakfast was rather simple, the bar served very creative cocktails. Certainly a very unique experience!

Very nice, good locale…stayed here for one night. It’s a very nice refurnished ship— luxurious linens, very quiet, really good location. Bathroom had nice fixtures and was well stocked. A small bar is on the top deck for breakfast and a cocktail later. Convenient location, I would stay here again.

beautifully restored boat with lovely rooms, delicious breakfast and a great bar. It was a lot of fun to stay here. The staff were friendly and helpful. We loved the area of Leith, quiet with excellent restaurants nearby and a quick tram ride to the main city.

Amazing stay on this beautiful boat. From booking to check out everything was fabulous. Rooms extremely clean, great breakfast,staff friendly and attentive. So good to stay somewhere a little different. The boat feels luxurious. The Ocean Mist was easily accessible from Edinburgh airport … 50min tram wide. The area of Leith was fantastic with very good choice of pubs, cafes, restaurants etc and felt more chilled that Edinburgh city.

A fabulous quirky quality alternative to run of the mill hotels. Making the most of the facilities (which are excellent) the staff really make this place tick and add hugely to the already impressive facilities. Local knowledge, calm professionalism and warm personalities abound....cannot rate highly enough!

There's nothing to fault on this beautiful yacht. It's clean, opulent, super-special in every way. And the breakfasts are amazing! Just a short, easy tram ride into central Edinburgh, staying outside the city was restful. You can even see the castle from the bar/breakfast room. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Would thoroughly recommend for that special experience.

This is a first class hotel with the unique charm of a 1918-era yacht. The restoration is a work of art with the best quality materials. Our stateroom was very comfortable, spacious and elegant. The bar is full of charm and breakfast most excellent. The staff and service are the best part of your stay on the Ocean Mist. You are made to feel like royalty. We quickly made friends with Alfonso who was so friendly, patient, and went out of his way to attended to our every need. The Ocean Mist truly deserves its status as the best hotel in Scotland.
