Ocean Mist Leith

Leith, Edinburgh

Situated in Edinburgh and with Royal Yacht Britannia reachable within less than 1 km, Ocean Mist Leith features express check-in and check-out, allergy-free rooms, a terrace, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. The property is around 3.2 km from Edinburgh Waverley station, 3.6 km from Royal Mile and 4.3 km from Camera Obscura and World of Illusions. The property is non-smoking and is set 2.6 km from Edinburgh Playhouse. 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!
