1. Rooms are very small. No room to even park the bags in a corner. The smallest rooms ever in my life. Claustrophobic.
2. No lift so if you have bags , you have to lug them to the room. Staff can do it for you
3. Breakfast was meh - - continental only - no coffee machine for cappuccino etc - staff not very welcoming
4. The River boat looks good in pictures- the River itself is quite dirty
5. The shower water is not hot - says 38 Celsius but it’s not even that hot - if you enjoy hot showers forget it
This was a delightful experience! The staff was marvelous and the setting was unique. Totally understand why this is rated the number 1 hotel in Edinburgh on that reader reviewed travel site.
Ocean Mist was amazing! Nice quiet unique place! Would definitely stay here again. Great place for couples. Rooms are small but fits the atmosphere. The little lounge is a really nice touch! Breakfast included and was great
Really enjoyed our stay. Staff were all excellent. The ocean mist has been restored to a high standard. Rooms were comfortable and spotless clean. Surprised at how spacious the room was given it's in a boat. Lots of lovely personal touches. My husband was worried about motion sickness but was not a problem at all. Sitting out on the top deck eating breakfast in the sunshine was glorious. Only recommendation is that the continental breakfast would benefit from more variety, especially adding some fruit. Would definitely come back for another stay.
An absolute treasure - surprisingly spacious and luxurious accommodation in a wonderful area to explore and enjoy great seafood! Sipping cocktails at twilight on the ship deck was perfect!
Excellent stay! Very handy to the Royal Yacht Britannia, as well as good restaurants nearby! Easy transportation to downtown, as well. Staff were top notch.
We had an amazing stay at Ocean Mist for honeymoon. We loved the cabins and the bathrooms everything was immaculate. The staff in their naval uniforms were very friendly and helpful and made our honeymoon special by decorating our cabin.
The breakfast was amazing - the yummy bacon and cheese bread and huge croissants and pain au chocolat, fresh fruit bowls and all the lovely meats and cheeses.
The bar area was comfy with a lovely view and setting. We loved all the games in the lounge area too.
I don’t think this could be improved! It’s a fabulous special place to stay. Thank you all!
The Royal yacht Britannia is in walking distance and definitely worth visiting, the Ship on the Shore seafood restaurant is just over the road - we loved the food there. And there is a bus stop nearby on the Edinburgh bus tours route.
A truly lovely boutique hotel on the water. The bed was very comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was wonderful! The cocktails in the bar were lovely and breakfast was just delicious! The service was fantastic! Truly!
The staff were outstanding and our stay could not have been better.
Great location a short distance from the tram gave easy access to the city. Great restaurants in the area for dinners.
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.
This place was awesome! The concierge told us about the history of the ship and let us view the remodeling pictures. He upgraded us to sleep in the original bridge part of the ship and we absolutely loved every part of it. The staff is excellent and the history is amazing. Plus, the glass around the engine compartment so you can see everything is a wonderful touch!
