True Luxury from a Bye-gone Era

The staff, service, food and accommodations were exemplary. Lovely nautical/arts & crafts era decor. Think Titanic with a modern sumptuous twist. We were delighted to find out tickets to the Brittania were included. Great location, simple to take the tram into the downtown, as we were travelling by train. Pricey, but well worth the splurge.

We chose this hotel for our honeymoon and it didn't disappoint. A once in a life time experience. The room and hotel in general are impeccable. We loved the experience of staying on a ship and the extra little details provided made our stay extra special.

The stay was phenomenal at Fingal. The staff were personable, efficient, and overall outstanding. The room was unique, comfortable, and luxurious. We had a great time. The daily breakfasts were phenomenal and the restaurant was first class and well-deserving of the 2 Rosettes. We will stay at the Fingal upon our return.

We arrived quite early for our booking and yet, the staff were amazing and accommodated us in every way. They were so sweet, it felt like home away from home. The chef is a MASTER in culinary arts. The scenery and area are beautiful! If you get the chance to stay here, it is worth every cent!

3rd time here and unfortunately not a great experience this time. Having to ask to be served drinks, having to ask for the room to be made up, a stuffy room with noisy air conditioning… Felt completely overpriced and definitely not a 5 star experience. Sat outdoors both evenings and whilst the new seating is a great addition, the timber handrail and painted railings are looking tired
Drinks… finally…

I cannot fault the Fingal hotel in any way. Booked this as part of our mini moon after getting married in Scotland and it really lived up to expectations. From the moment we walked in, the staff were friendly and engaging, giving us tips on sights and restaurants in the area. The room itself (luxury cabin) was perfect for us, tastefully decorated and with a door going onto the deck upfront. We both slept really well and the mattress quality was excellent. The breakfast was divine, so many options to pick from and all executed perfectly. Special shout out to the staff at breakfast who were so cheerful and made it effortless to pick whatever we wanted from the menu. We had dinner on board the first night and it is truly fine dining, our plates were like pieces of art. One final fabulous feature of the boat is its elevator, which again, is tastefully designed in keeping with the rest of the interior as well as being spacious. I’m already planning when I can return to this wonderful hotel!
