I Stay In A Luxury Floating Hotel In Edinburgh - You HAVE To See This!

Fingal is Scotland's first luxury floating hotel by The Royal Yacht Britannia. Formerly a lighthouse tender, she has been transformed into an exquisite 22 cabin boutique hotel & is permanently berthed on Edinburgh's waterfront. It might be small but wait till you see inside!

    We recommend you try out Fingal a few months ago, and are so glad you did. Each room is named after one of the lighthouses around Scotland ( our room we stayed in was Dubh Artach) and the pictures behind the bed was a map of where your particular lighthouse is. With the tram line outside Fingal it only takes minutes to get to Edinburgh city centre, which is a fantastic place to visit. Great vid Tim.❤

    I liked that floating hotel better than The Ritz in London. It is about the same in price, but seemed like so much more in terms of aesthetics, space, and delicious food, and it felt so much more relaxed and unintrusive minus all the waiters and service people all over the place ...Thanks for showing, and really hope Gabby can go along the next time for some special occasion.

    We actually spent a couple of nights on Fingal about 18 months ago, not in the two-floor room you occupied, but one of the larger one-floor rooms & it was pretty good overall. It was actually a return visit for me as I had spent around 3 nights on board in the mid-1960s as a child when it was obviously still a working ship. The food was very good, we had two breakfasts & dinner on one of the evenings. Definitely an enjoyable base when spending a few days in Edinburgh or nearby areas. Some friends did have their wedding on board last year, reserving the whole vessel for 2 nights for bride/groom & their wedding guests - I understand they had a great time. PS/ The deck did look in much better condition when we were there in mid-2022, I hope their maintenance schedules are not suffering & that the hotel revenues allows for timely refurbishment, it would be sad if not.

    You were right Tim you were stood at the Bow of the Ship the front of the Ship. I thought you were at the Stern (which is the back end of the Ship) I thought it looked like the rounded back end but it was rather a rounded Bow!⛴️ The bowels of the ship is the inners down below in a ship. I only know because I'm a Titanic Fan! I loved the Engine Room on display lovely polished glass! I loved this little Vessel I think she might be quite an old lady of the Sea, I bet she's sailed a bit then retired to the Dock. And it was a real picturesque Dock too with the Old Fashioned Lampost. The Olive Green Decor really looked very classy next to the shiny polished wood. And I liked the Vintage fixtures & fittings. The Bed looked very comfy & spread over 2 floors it was like cabin /Suite & it looked like you had the whole ship to yourself Tim! The Bathroom was amazing I don't like those top tables over the bath either Tim I don't know why it opened it looked like you could put your iPad or Tablet on it like a stand but I don't think that's what it's there for on a Bath!! The evening meal in the warm & welcoming Restaurant looked amazing I loved the Steak & Chips & the Starter Fish & Dessert all scrumptious! It's a perfect place to go for a mini break on a Winter Weekend or as you say Tim it's excellent for a intimate Wedding very romantic! And 22 cabin/suites like yours. I would of liked to stay there with you Tim in the nextdoor Cabin!! And I loved those Chocolates I think I might have pinched your choccies too🤣. I thought £550 was very reasonable for what would be a very pleasant & relaxing getaway stay!⚓🚢...

    Tim, another good video as usual, it is impressive what they have done with the ship, it does look very good and the engine room corridor was the best bit for me. Love to see the old engineering.

    I personally really enjoyed the sleeper train to Edinburgh although based on Tim's video, I wouldn't pay the extra for a double room, my other half and I were fine in the standard bunks and doesn't seem worth splashing out the extra for the double.

    As a former traveling sea vessel, the RYB may be one of the few floating hotels I'd be interested in visiting. If the SS Normandie (with interiors of French-style luxury) hadn't burned in the 1940s, that would be another one. Of course, the Titanic (or its sister ship the Britannic) would be the epitome. However, if it hadn't sunk in the first place, its legendary infamy wouldn't exist at all. The QE2, now in Dubai, reflects the late 1960s, so it's not as nice as the QM2 of 2004 is. The QM of the 1930s, moored in CA since 1967, is the original floating hotel & has the most old-time qualities. But it also needs the most work. Areas on the RYB like the room's porthole or the teak deck are child's play compared with worn-out areas throughout the QM. Maintenance would be even tougher if the weather around the QM were more like Scotland's or Florida's. When the QE from the 1930s was temporarily moored north of Miami, the tropical climate reportedly was really hard on the ship.

    LOL. D'oh! Sorry, I overlooked the part where you say the ship is the Fingal, not the nearby Royal Yacht Britannia. Since the 2 ships are so close (& advertised) together, I thought it was a given that the former vessel of the royal family was the floating hotel, not so much another nearby boat. The Fingal is still a really nice place, but staying where QE2 (the person, not the ocean liner) once traveled would have been a great conversation piece.

    Its a beautiful little ship, the only issue really is its location, seems to be located at the docks or a port that hasn't fully been gentrified yet but I'm sure that'll change in the near future. Great video, I love your channel.

    It’s at the docks because it’s a boat, it’s right beside the shore which is a very populated area of edinburgh, so it won’t be changing as it’s part of the beauty of edinburgh
