The room was very nice and the whole boat gave a sort of Agatha Christie-vibe (in a positive way^^). The bar served amazing drinks! The location was good too, only a few minutes from the tram station.

Situated in Penicuik, The Craigie Hotel has a restaurant, bar, garden, and free WiFi throughout the property. Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a terrace. Private parking can be arranged at an extra charge. Our stay at this hotel in Edinburgh was truly incredible. From the moment we arrived, everything felt refined and welcoming. It had that perfect luxury feel—elegant but comfortable, stylish without trying too hard. The space itself was huge. There were way more beds than we needed, which somehow made it even better. It felt generous, like every detail was designed to give guests more than they expect. Whether you’re traveling with a group or just want extra room to relax, it’s exactly what you’d hope for. The breakfast? Absolutely phenomenal. Fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of variety—easily one of the best hotel breakfasts we’ve ever had. It was the kind of meal you look forward to every morning. Everything we needed was included, and the staff made the whole experience feel effortless. The location was also spot-on—central, convenient, and surrounded by the character and charm of Edinburgh. This wasn’t just a place to stay—it was an experience we’ll remember. I’d go back in a second.
