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.

Staying on the Ocean Mist was a unique, boutique experience and we loved it! It felt like we were stepping back in time, much like an ocean liner/ship from the past. Matt greeted us warmly upon arrival and helped us get checked in quickly. The staff in the bar were excellent as well, making us feel welcome immediately. It was a great experience and we hope to return someday to enjoy a longer stay.

    One of the most coziest accomodations we had ever rented. We are two couples and a baby and this place is definetely suitable for a toddler, the owner even prepared us a high chair! Honestly it was an amazing stay with beautiful equipment and the old town is just 30mins away with a bus.

    Easy to get to the Hotel. Easy to get into Edinburgh centre on the local bus, stops just outside. Breakfast good and we liked the pizza from the restaurant. Pet friendly and family friendly. We had a few requests when booking and they were able to accommodate all of them. Loved the room layout as an l shape with the children around the corner for their earlier bedroom.

    Great location (central, not noisy), swimming pool included (with lift from pool to rooms), perfect stay for families with small children (the extra bed for the children was probably the best we found so far in terms of safety, cleanliness and comfort). The restaurant is expensive, but at least we found live music.

    The kitchen is well equipped with utensils ,oven, microwave, washing machine, water boiler, enough dishwares, basic needs like salt, and there are enough beds and even one extra bed for us. Each room has a tv and the location is as described not far from the Edinburgh princess street about 18 - 20 minutes walk. The price is affordable for a family of 6 including elderly and 3 kids. An extra blanket is provided.

    This is the second time we've stayed at Dalmahoy and we love this family friendly hotel and the facilities. The room was great and the hotel were able to provide a roll-away bed for our young child, free of charge. We enjoy the breakfast spread at Dalmahoy and the kids love the pool. We also make use of the quiet hour for adults in the evening to use the sauna. The cocktail bar was a lovely relaxing place to dine and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal there after our swim. We'll definitely be back.
