We spent 2 nights on this canalboat, which we booked as we wanted something a bit different from your average hotel room - and it was certainly different! The two double beds in the cabins were very comfortable, and the kitchen was pretty well equipped for such a small space even though we ate out most of the time. I... More

If your looking for something a little different,then this is definitely for you. The boat is not what you would expect at all. Sumptuous furnishings and very cosy. It's also in an ideal location. We will be back, I'm sure. More

We spent 3 nights in Edinburgh but didn't see as much of the city as we would have liked to as we spent all our time on board this lovely canal boat. It was beautifull inside with every thing we could want.We expected it to be a bit old fashioned but it was the opposite, trendy and modern. We used... More

We spent 3 nights on this lovely canalboat. It is very well equipped and furnished with comfortable beds and everything you could need in the kitchen. A few little things went wrong-some of them our fault for not being used to boats but everything was fixed very promptly professionally and without fuss. The first night was very windy and our...

We read the bio for the Boatel and we had 5 adults, 2 kids and a small dog... exactly what the info said on the site (at the time) so we decided that this would work... sounded perfect; however: * There is no parking unless you wanted to pay £30 per day (we found a place a few blocks away;... More

Allow me to respond point by point as set out in your complaint. • I regret you were asked by on-site security to remove your cars from the pedestrian walkway alongside the boatel, but suggest that even in Canada this would not be acceptable; even with a mobility pass, as this would pose a danger to the public, especially children...

We had decided to take a short break in Edinburgh and stumbled across the Boatel as a place to stay. Cam (the owner) was lovely and met us on arrival having already decorated the boat with a christmas tree, poinsetta along with all the other standard bits you could possibly want from robes to honesty bar, to foot spa's .......the...

What a special place to stay in Edinburgh - luxury canal boat right in the heart of twon, next to bars, restaurants, etc. first class, personal service from owner Mrs McLaclan. why go for a holiday inn when you can be sole guests in somewhere totally unique? S&J More

We recently stayed on this unique boatel and had an amazing time. There is everything you require and so much more. I cannot recommend this highly enough. This central located boatel has everything you could possibly need to enjoy a stay in the capital. Don't go to hotel go to the Boatel !!!!!! More

The four sisters was one of the places we stayed on a trip to Scvotland, and as soon as we saw it, we wished we had spent the entire time there. Its unique, very comfortable and right in the centre of everything Edinburgh has to offer. There isn't a single thing that hasn't been thought of, fabulously we equipt kitchen,... More

Chosen as a treat for my husbands 40th, the Four Sisters wouldn't normally be my choice for a luxury break - but how wrong I was! On arrival, we were met by Mrs Mclachlan, the owner, who was lovely. When she left, she gave us her personal mobile number, so that we could contact her immediately if there were any... More
