Ocean Mist Leith delivers a distinctive stay aboard a restored ship in Leith, with consistently friendly, attentive staff, comfortable cabins and a popular top-deck bar, plus easy tram access and plentiful nearby dining, creating a memorable boutique experience.
Reviews repeatedly praise spotless housekeeping and high-quality refurbishment throughout. Rooms range from compact cabins with portholes or sloped floors to larger suites; beds are very comfortable, but some guests noted internal noise between rooms or from the bar and occasional lack of views or televisions. Continental breakfast is widely enjoyed, though seating can feel tight and there are no cooked options. Expect a charming, well-run, shipboard boutique stay with a few boat-related trade-offs.

Great experience. All of the staff were professional and courteous. The ship is clean, well maintained, offers plenty of amenities and cozy sleep. My only irritation was the lack of parking. Parking tickets totaled 150 pounds for three violations.

What a fantastic place to stay. The ship is in the very heart of Leith with pubs and restaurants nearby. It is only a short walk away from the Royal Yacht Britannia. The cabins are extremely well finished and very comfortable. The ship has its own bar. You can sit inside or outside on two decks. The included breakfast buffet is served in the bar.

The Ocean Mist is a boat moored in the river Leith. There are no lifts on board. Staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast area provides a varied continental bkfst. It is on the top deck so one must climb.

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

We loved our stay on the Ocean Mist - a lovingly restored boat! Our room was on the small side, but we had a full king size bed and the most comfortable sheets! The bathroom was sparklingly clean with really cool tiles. Lovely setting for breakfast, with views on the water. Super friendly staff who are all very knowledgeable about the boat's history. It's a bit removed from the center of Edinburgh, but with plenty of restaurants, pubs, and easy access to transportation. Highly recommend if you like atypical, boutique hotels.

What a fantastic place to sta From the warm welcome as you board the ship, the efficient check in with some nice Scottish products to sample with your tea or coffee. A very spacious and comfortable bedroom with lovely bathroom with nice toiletries included The bar is exceptional and with the most attentive staff Buffet breakfast is included and there is plenty of choice The nautical theme is evident in the staff uniforms and there are lots of photos of the history and suburb refurbishment of the ship There are local restaurants and close to the tram line and busses to whisk you into the centre of the city If I happen to be looking for accommodation again this will be my first choice

1. Rooms are very small. No room to even park the bags in a corner. The smallest rooms ever in my life. Claustrophobic. 2. No lift so if you have bags , you have to lug them to the room. Staff can do it for you 3. Breakfast was meh - - continental only - no coffee machine for cappuccino etc - staff not very welcoming 4. The River boat looks good in pictures- the River itself is quite dirty 5. The shower water is not hot - says 38 Celsius but it’s not even that hot - if you enjoy hot showers forget it

Great unique 2 night stay while we explored Edinburgh during the Fringe. Cabin was perfect. Big comfy bed, strong shower and quality finish throughout. Breakfast at the bar each morning was lovely and the staff couldn’t be more helpful. Tony was so professional despite the demands of the crowded 9am sitting. Reception were likewise and the young barman who served us on our first night was the perfect host. Tram stop is minutes away from the ship so getting to the city centre when we didn’t fancy the hike up Leith Walk was great. Hope to be back next year.

I’m a boat guy and am used to tight quarters on my sailboat but our stateroom was the chain locker on the bow of an old reconditioned ship so the floor was slanted down quite a bit toward the aft making it difficult to get up from the bed. My second issue was a complete lack of space with no chairs or anywhere to put on shoes or open a suitcase. Otherwise the staff and the breakfast were delightful and I would recommend this charming and unforgettable experience.

Our stay at the Ocean Mist was the delicious cherry on top of our fantastic stay in Edinburgh. Our room was clean, comfortable and decked out with everything we needed to decompress after a long day of exploring. We took advantage of the continental breakfast which was included in our stay, with a good selection of breads (the cheese and bacon bread was a firm favourite), pastries, cereal, cold meats and fresh fruit. And teas, coffee and fruit juice. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and were always happy to help with any questions we had. Leith is a lovely, quiet area tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh’s centre, it is just a short tram ride away from princes street. There are lots of restaurants, bars and coffee shops as well as quirky shops in Leith. We were originally going to stay in a hotel in Edinburgh centre but by chance found the Ocean Mist instead. And I’m so happy we did. There is not one thing I would change about the lovely hotel and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who is considering staying here.

We booked Ocean Mist specifically as is was not in Central Edinburgh, but had close proximity to the trams as we were travelling to Edinburgh by train. We fancied it due to it being a bit different, not just a normal hotel. It did everything a great hotel always does regarding service, cleanliness, being well specified, offer a lovely breakfast, great staff etc, but what was different, was an extra personal touch and the decor/rooms/surroundings being interesting themselves. We stayed for two nights, but would have loved to stay for longer. Definitely one of our favourite stayovers ever!

Ocean Mist was so charming and beautifully located in Leith, right on the Harbour surrounding by outdoor dining and a 2 minute walk from the tram into Edinburgh centre. The accommodation was very cute and the breakfast pastries from a delicious local French bakery. The staff were excellent, friendly and attentive, from Toni who helped us on arrival, to William who hosted our stay. Danny and Matt went above and beyond, even forwarding our passports by priority mail when we absentmindedly left them in our safe.

A lovely little boat hotel! Beautifully renovated and tidy, the staff were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent. The location is easily reached with tram or buses.

We loved that it was a boat. It’s so convenient for the tram and parking was taken care of. The choice of place to dine was excellent and the staff could not have been more helpful.

Whole experience was wonderful from arrival to departure. Room gave a unique but very comfortable experience and food albeit Bed & Breakfast was 1st class. Superb lunch and dinner venues are literally right outside whilst the service and choice in the bar in board were excellent. Been there a few times now and will our my place to go to when in Edinburgh from now on. The tram stop is about 3 mins walk and takes directly to city centre or airport. Could not ask for more. Well done team Ocean Mist

Great stay on board Ocean Mist in Leith. Great location with plenty of bars etc close by. Rooms on board are excellent and all newly refurbished. Staff could not be more helpful. Would stay again if in Edinburgh. Tram stop is less than 5 minutes away which makes it easy to access from City Centre

Dining
Continental breakfast is frequently praised for quality pastries, fruit and smoked salmon, and the bar’s cocktails are popular. Seating can feel tight at peak times and there are no cooked options or on-site restaurant.

A unique stay. Great location. Comfy beds. The staff were amazing, very helpful. Provided great service. The continental breakfast was exceptional, with fresh fruit, cereals, juice, selection of breads, coffee & tea. The bar in the evening was a great location to unwind.

We stayed three nights on the ocean mist. Breakfast was great and cocktails on the boat were even better in the evening. The room we stayed in was small but quaint. Loved staying on the boat. Would definitely stay on the ocean mist again. Truly outstanding overall.

What a fantastic place to stay. The ship is in the very heart of Leith with pubs and restaurants nearby. It is only a short walk away from the Royal Yacht Britannia. The cabins are extremely well finished and very comfortable. The ship has its own bar. You can sit inside or outside on two decks. The included breakfast buffet is served in the bar.

We had an amazing stay at Ocean Mist for honeymoon. We loved the cabins and the bathrooms everything was immaculate. The staff in their naval uniforms were very friendly and helpful and made our honeymoon special by decorating our cabin. The breakfast was amazing - the yummy bacon and cheese bread and huge croissants and pain au chocolat, fresh fruit bowls and all the lovely meats and cheeses. The bar area was comfy with a lovely view and setting. We loved all the games in the lounge area too. I don’t think this could be improved! It’s a fabulous special place to stay. Thank you all! The Royal yacht Britannia is in walking distance and definitely worth visiting, the Ship on the Shore seafood restaurant is just over the road - we loved the food there. And there is a bus stop nearby on the Edinburgh bus tours route.

There was no restaurant, however, a very good continental breakfast was served in the bar/lounge. The room had no television. Despite this, the stay was enjoyable and somewhat novel.

Stayed for one night to take in Edinburgh Christmas Markets and for my wife's 40th. Could not ask for more. The ship is absolutely immaculate and the bed was immensely comfortable. Great service and lovely continental breakfast, although a bit crowded at breakfast time. Would not hesitate to book again if staying up in Edinburgh.

The Ocean Mist is a quirky boutique hotel. Our room was well furnished with a comfy bed with beautiful linen. The bathroom was spotless and had an excellent shower. The room was not particularly big, but then you should expect that on 100+ year old boat. The staff were really lovely and couldn't be faulted on anything. Breakfast was ok with cereals, yoghurt, fruit, cold meats and cheeses. It wasn't anything memorable and it was quite awkward having to sit in an armchair to eat it.

Our room was very comfortable and clean. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast was nice but if you’re looking for a cooked breakfast you can get one across in the Ship in the Shore. I was happy with the choice of breakfast items!
