A very unique place to stay within easy access into Edinburgh with the tram. The staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the boat and the refurbishment. Nothing was any bother at all. The service from pre-check in to check out really was second to none. Rooms were comfortable and didn't have any TVs which was actually a refreshing change. Plenty of plug sockets near the bed. Also very nice to see some Scottish toiletries from Arran Aromatics. Breakfast was delicious (continental) and we used the lounge area in the evening to play Uno with a few refreshments.

The staff was amazing. Michelle the night duty was more than helpful, sweet, and kind. <3 They are also quick at getting a cab available for you when needed. Exceptional! The location is also great because it's near a pub, shopping center, bus stop, and tourist locations.

Charming and cozy design. Spacious room with seating area. Coffee machine and cookies. All the employees were very helpful. And very relaxed at the same time, which is not so common in some of the other hotels. We loved the breakfast and service. Top notch!
