Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Ocean Mist Leith offers a unique stay aboard a retrofitted ship, with stylish and comfortable rooms, though some guests have noted the rooms can feel small. The location is ideal, close to many restaurants, and the tram is just 200 meters away, providing easy access to Edinburgh. Guests particularly appreciate the well-equipped bar and the delightful breakfast with fresh options, plus the nice views of the inner harbor from the outer decks.

i found good hearts and flower petals adorning our room, a sweet touch for our anniversary. the staff gifted us a welcome drink at the bar. this thoughtfulness is a hallmark of the hotel, i noticed.
i thought our room was a bit inferior to others, especially considering the price.

The room was beautifully decorated with great attention to detail. Even the smallest things were considered. the staff was helpful and friendly. the bar served amazing cocktails in an intimate and comfortable setting. the continental breakfast also included homemade pastries.
the room lacked proper airflow, and there was a slight musty smell that became noticeable. it might be beneficial to improve ventilation in the rooms.
