Overall Ratings & Reviews Ocean Mist Leith

Fantastic have stayed here a few times and it’s such a beautiful boat would highly recommend it rooms are spacious and comfortable also very central for the tram lovely bars and restaurants also nearby 5 stars 🌟

All I can say is wow! My husband booked the presidential suite as a birthday surprise for me and it did not disappoint. It's opulent, quirky, luxurious and an amazing experience. From the minute we boarded to the minute we left we were made feel welcome by all 'captains'. The outside/inside bar was great, we had a sunny day, so sat on the deck watching the world go by, but I imagine on a wet day it would be cosy inside. The bed and amenities of the room were great & comfortable, and the copper bath... I say quirky, well it's a boat, but the love that's gone into this to make it a comfortable experience is 2nd to none. We were at the bow of the boat, so the room slopes, but as i said, the arttention to detail was amazing. It's a seconds walks from bar/restuarants, coffe shops/cafes and shops, and 5 minutes walk to Leith walk. The continetal breakfast was so fresh and tasty, a selection of meats, cheese, cereal, salmon, fresh fruit, yoghurts, breads, patries, fresh juice, tea/coffee, catering for all dietary conditions. I highly recommend.

From embarking to disembarking it was 100% amazing as were all the staff. Friendly welcome, amazing room (my only issue was the noise the hummidifer was making but on our second night it had been taken out the room) great bar staff & drinks sitting on the deck, tasty & plenty choice with good times for breakfast & just nothing was out of place or an issue for the staff. I didn’t expect the Ocean Mist to hold so much history & the staff were happy to answer questions. Would love to go back & upgrade the room. What a weekend on board this amazing boat.

A lovely place to stay for one night. Friendly helpful staff. The boat is well maintained, very clean, in an interesting area with lots of cafes/pubs/restaurants. 45 minute walk to city centre, or easy tram ride. Breakfast on the boat is lovely, we sat outside. Ultimately though we would not want to stay for more than one night - the room was too stuffy for us (ineffective air con) and too light (the slatted blinds leak light). Personal taste but the pillows were way too bulky - I woke up with a crick in my neck! So not a lot of sleep for us, but during the day the boat/hotel is fabulous.

I’m a boat guy and am used to tight quarters on my sailboat but our stateroom was the chain locker on the bow of an old reconditioned ship so the floor was slanted down quite a bit toward the aft making it difficult to get up from the bed. My second issue was a complete lack of space with no chairs or anywhere to put on shoes or open a suitcase. Otherwise the staff and the breakfast were delightful and I would recommend this charming and unforgettable experience.

Wow what a beautiful experience

Staying on a classic old boat was fun and enjoyable. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Several good restaurant choices in the immediate area was a plus. Overall a very nice experience

Great stay. Room was stunning and there were a few wee surprises for my husbands birthday. The place was spotless and everything was finished to a high standard. Bar area excellent, cocktails delicious and staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was beautiful. Excellent location.

The owners have refurbished the ship beautifully! The location was great and everything was smooth sailing!

We loved our time on the Ocean Mist. Friendly and welcoming staff, clean and comfy rooms, and an excellent location. Happy to recommend without hesitation.

We had a lovely stay. Staff were all very friendly, attentive and the place was spotlessly clean.

A very unique accommodation, expertly refurbished from a wartime minesweeper. A good nights sleep for all. A very warm welcome from Brian, nothing too much trouble. For those wanting an escape from technology with all the comfort of a boutique hotel

What a wonderful experience! Staying on the Ocean Mist was a truly memorable experience. I loved all the little quirks of the ship and the bar was amazing. Having breakfast outside on the top deck this morning was fabulous! Bed was comfy and the bathroom was modern and beautifully appointed. Everyone on the staff was so lovely too. I’ll be back!

This is such a special and unique place to stay. The accommodation is both quirky and beautiful. Stayed for my son’s 21st and the staff went above and beyond to make his visit truly memorable. The location is also great. So handy for lots of amazing cafes, restaurants and bars and a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh city centre. Thank you so much Team Ocean Mist. We will be back.
