Pros:

All staff very friendly and helpful. Needed decaf teabags in the room and these were swiftly provided. Good selection on the continental breakfast. Room clean and spacious. Also very quiet, a little noise as there was a connecting door (locked) to the room next door but this did not affect our stay. Would recommend, had a great stay.

Pros:

What a great find in Leith. Easy parking, excellent reception and a very well decorated and appointed room. Comfortable bed. The bar at the top was very cost, well stocked with terrific views. Staff were very helpful.


Breakfast was in the bar area which I didn’t have - continental.

Pros:

Something different with very helpful staff. Location for eating out options was excellent and the city tram was a 5 - 10 minute walk away so easy to get into the city from Leith. Even better the same tram takes you all the way to the airport and as it is near the end of the run seats and luggage storage are not a problem.
The bedroom was very comfortable although a little tight for luggage storage while the bathroom was excellent and a good shower.
Staff at the desk, most helpful and knowledgable and always willing to listen. A quiet place to stop for a break and not so far from the city.

Not a conventional hotel but a great experience. Beautiful rooms but it was the staff who made it a great stay. Location perfect for getting into and around the city.

Pros:

Our third stay on the Ocean Mist and I can't wait to return already. From the moment we stepped onboard we were made welcome. Our room was immaculate, very comfy and had everything we needed. The small Castle View bar (which to be fair only catches a glimpse of the castle!) is lovely and offers some great cocktails. Highly recommended

Pros:

Lovely room with a large comfy bed, bathrobes as well which is always nice. Staff were friendly and helpful. Only downside was we had a connecting room which meant we could hear the people next door. Lovely continental breakfast. Hotel is close to restaurants, bars and Ocean Terminal shopping centre.
