    Excellent regular tram service which stopped right by the hotel. 2 minutes walk to Royal Yacht Brittania. 10 minutes walk to Newhaven harbour & Fishmarket - a lovely spot on a sunny evening. Quiet room with everything I needed abd very clean. Very helpful staff.

    Location was easily available by public transport from the airport and also to the central (direct line with tram, and bus). Not too far from central but far enought that the area was calm. If you are intrested about famous boats than the Royal Yacht Britannia is only 5 min walk away. Staff was friendly ans helpful and you could leave your baggeges till check in time at the reception. Breakfast was ok, but nothing special, the srambled eggs wasn't the best :)

    We had a Queen room which was quite compact but the space was well utilised providing outstanding comfort. The boat was o a great location; 10min walk to Royal Yacht Britannia and only a short bus ride into Edinburgh city centre.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Quirky hotel boat. Beautiful rooms. Spotlessly clean. Amazing comfy beds!! Continental breakfast was excellent with a wide range of foods. Great area with plenty restaurants to choose from.

    I felt deceived, not saying this is "boat hotel " Very small narrow rooms with incline... The sink was so small... Breakfast so uncomfortable to have because of the incline Not recommend, beware!!
