Cool, one of a kind hotel!
This is a very unique hotel, convenient to the harbor area and within walking distance to the Edinburgh center by tram. The rooms are all a nautical style and beautifully decorated. Cool bar area as well. If you like unique hotels then this one is for you.

Beautiful hotel, rooms were comfortable. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Close to transportation to go into Old Town, and short walk to the Royal Yacht. Lots of places to eat in the area. Be sure to see the photos of the restoration by the family, you will be impressed!

Lovely one night stay. A quirky alternative to staying in a traditional hotel and at a great price for the standard of accommodation. A warm friendly welcome at check in. The room was beautifully furnished in traditional ships style with a comfy large bed. Breakfast was very tasty and plentiful served in the ships bar. Situated on the water at Leith with shops, cafes and restaurants on the doorstep yet a short taxi ride into the centre. A fantastic short stay.

Boat-tastic
From embarking to disembarking it was 100% amazing as were all the staff.
Friendly welcome, amazing room (my only issue was the noise the hummidifer was making but on our second night it had been taken out the room) great bar staff & drinks sitting on the deck, tasty & plenty choice with good times for breakfast & just nothing was out of place or an issue for the staff. I didn’t expect the Ocean Mist to hold so much history & the staff were happy to answer questions. Would love to go back & upgrade the room. What a weekend on board this amazing boat.
