Pros:

A quirky and fun place to stay! The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were fantastic, and the boat is great fun - highly recommend having a drink in the bar or lounge, and go down the back stairs to see the engines! Breakfast was really nice, and we would have loved to stay longer.

Cons:

More info on breakfast and timings would have been useful, but we asked staff, who were very helpful.

Remarkably clean, comfortable accommodation located directly opposite some award winning restaurants and walking distance to both the tram stop (which takes you directly in to the city centre and airport) and Royal Yacht Britannia.

Cons:

Nothing, it was all absolutely perfect.

Pros:

This was a very unique and memorable place to stay. The rooms was fantastic and the staff were friendly, polite and very helpful. Location was a 2 min walk to the bus or tram. Highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Edinburgh. It is not in city center but only a short tram ride away. Very peaceful and close to lots of attractions.

Cons:

Honestly cannot think of anything we did not like.

Pros:

I don't always go to Leith, but when I do, I stay on the Ocean Mist!

A beautiful, unique place to stay. No restaurant on board, but lots of nice places across the road to eat. Our third time and we hope not our last.
