Traveller reviews

“Not overly comfortable but it may suit others….not a return for me.”
01 Jan 2025
The location is about a 8 minute walk to the Royal Mile and there are some cafes around quite close. The beds were comfortable. Kitchen well appointed.

“A fun alternative to an apartment with some nice little extras, with excellent access for the city.”
03 Nov 2024
Good location - quickly into the town centre and not far at all from the Grassmarket area. The kids enjoyed the novelty of staying on a boat. I appreciated the little touches such as a bathrobe and slippers.

“Superb experience, off the beaten path!”

Of course, this review cannot be conventional: how could you even think about comparing a narrow boat with a standard hotel room? We stayed for two days at the four sisters boatels and we absolutely loved it there are some quirks, but that's the goal when you choose anything non standard, right? So if an out-of-the-ordinary stay is what you are looking for, go for it, it's definitely different and your kids will love it as well (the mini-bunk beds definitely were a hit with my daughter), the beds were confy (but on the narrow side, due to the boat format, duh!), the kitchen was fully equipped and everything was spotless clean. Definitely recommend!

“We loved it and would consider booking again.”
27 Sep 2024
The boat was lovely, clean, cosy & well equipped. Great location.

“Just amazing and would go back soonest”
17 Sep 2024
Breakfast was lovely Just what we needed And the complimentary fridge fill was above and beyond It was booked as a surprise for my niece visiting from Australia and my cousin They knew nothing about it til we got there and were so excited and thrilled about being on a houseboat 🤗🤗🤗 So spacious and comfortable although there were only three of us a family or larger group would still have had plenty of room and comfort Natalie the owner was very obliging re times and as I’d pre booked parking 1 minute away the whole organisation was amazing And we were only ten minutes walk to the centre at Grassmarket and the Castle !!!!! Fabulous all round and can’t say thank you enough for making our stay so memorable 👍👍👍👍👍

“You are in the heart of the city, for us it was really quiet at night but I guess this can’t be guaranteed you need to t”

Location is unique and a fun way to experience Edinburgh.

“Good base to explore Edinburgh from”
04 Sep 2024
Fabulous location, well equipped and clean! Lovely host. Comfortable beds & a good space.

“Brilliant family accommodation in great location in Edinburgh”
02 Sep 2024
The location is great. It is a short walk away from Edinburgh Centre; including Edinburgh Castle and Old Town. There are plenty of good restaurants close by. The boatel sleeps 6 and I think additional cots etc. can be asked for on request. It has a good kitchen, decent size living space and very comfortable beds. There was a Tesco convenience store 2 mins walk away.

“Staying on water in the centre of Edinburgh - a unique experience.”
02 Sep 2024
Staying on a canal boat is definitely cosy, but there were four adults on the boat and we were fine. Best nights sleeps myself and my wife had in many years despite being in a small cabin. We think that was the gentle rocking of the boat wot did it. Was great for visiting the Fringe.

“Really was great experience and Natalie was so accommodating would recommend for something a bit different.”
30 Aug 2024
We travelled with 10 year old and 2 teenage boys both 6 ft we loved the uniqueness of the experience and the area was quiet but walking distance to New Town and old Town plus the tram and buses.
