Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Ocean Mist Leith offers a unique stay aboard a beautifully designed boat, often described as magical, with exquisitely decorated and clean rooms, some of which are particularly spacious. The continental breakfast is a highlight, featuring a wide variety of options like ham, cheeses, and smoked salmon served in the stylish bar area that provides a lovely view of the waterway. Conveniently located in Leith, it's just a short tram ride away from Edinburgh city center, surrounded by good restaurants and bars; although some guests have mentioned smaller rooms with ventilation issues. With thoughtful touches and comfortable beds, many find it a high-quality and good value option for exploring Edinburgh.

A unique stay with minor drawbacks

special design pastries selection moldy smell room stuffiness
I adored the bar. Its design is something special. I also appreciated the continental breakfast. There was a nice selection of breads and pastries.
Our room had no air flow. It felt quite stuffy. I also noticed a slight moldy smell in the room. It detracted from an otherwise pleasant experience.
