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!

I enjoyed my stay immensely. Ollie was super welcoming and I felt comfortable from the first moment. The rooms and beds are big enough and have a homely feel to them. The breakfast is insanely good. Would recommend everything but definitely try the porridge with whisky, honey and cream. I'll definitely be back whenever I visit Edinburgh. Location is near the tram as well.

The building is fairly close to the Haymarket station (5 min by foot) and Waverley. The apartment itself is very cozy and well-decorated. You can tell the people who manage it are very attentive to details and I really appreciated that. It has all the appliances and amenities you would need for a short or for a longer stay (washing machine, hair dryer, coffee machine, toaster). The bed is very comfortable and the shower is state of the art. I especially liked the adjustable heater, it was a godsend after walking around the city all day. We loved that the apartment was close to all the places we wanted to visit, and we also had a few shops and restaurants in the area. There is no lift in the building, but for us it was no problem. Checking in was also very easy and communication with the team was absolutely stellar. All in all, a gorgeous experience that we would repeat anytime.
