We had a fantastic time staying at this luxurious 4-star hotel. The hosts have truly thought of everything to enhance comfort and provide quality services. The location is absolutely beautiful, with a tranquil atmosphere and convenient amenities nearby. We loved being able to walk to a Tesco Express and some lovely cafes. The boat itself is stunning, both inside and out. The kids especially enjoyed their bunk beds and the large windows that provided a picturesque view. We appreciated the wide selection of DVDs available for a cozy movie night on the boat. our stay here was truly lovely and we only wish we could have stayed longer.
Without a doubt, we highly recommend this hotel to families.

loved the quirky boat stay in Edinburgh! Brilliant host, incredible location, away from the hustle and bustle. Facilities block nearby a bonus. Unique experience, comfy beds, and helpful hosts.
Bathroom size a minor inconvenience.

The massage chair was such a nice surprise and really helped me relax. Plus, being able to store our bags after check-out was super convenient. The location was great too, walking distance to all the main attractions. And the best part? The whole experience of staying on a houseboat was so unique and fun!
The shower room and bunk area didn't smell the best, which was a bit off-putting. And the sofa bed was incredibly uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

The location was perfect, within walking distance of the city center and close to restaurants. The staff, especially Natalie, were incredibly helpful and responsive.

The boat itself had everything we needed, and after figuring out the heating, it was warm and cosy. Natalie, who welcomed us, was extremely helpful and friendly, ensuring we knew everything we needed to for our stay.

The location of the boatel seems to be convenient, with restaurants like Papa John's and Loudon's nearby. One reviewer mentioned enjoying breakfast at the latter. The boat itself is well-equipped with bunk beds for kids, a double bed, and electric heaters. Natalie, the owner, provided a warm welcome and showed guests how everything works.
One lamp did not have a bulb, and there was no soap in the bathroom.

What a unique and enjoyable experience staying at The Four Sisters Boatel was! My kids absolutely loved the novelty of sleeping on a boat, and the friendly welcome from Natalie made us feel right at home. The boat itself had all the necessary amenities, including comfortable bedrooms and cute bunk beds for the little ones. The location was convenient, with the ability to walk to Princes Street, and the added bonus of being able to fish off the side of the boat and feed the ducks. We also appreciated the nearby restaurants and the lovely breakfast spot at Loudons. a warm, cosy, and fun-filled stay that we can't wait to repeat!
Totally recommend this hotel.

We had a great adventure staying on the canalboat. The two double beds in the cabins were comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. The decorations added a beautiful touch, although we had to be cautious with small children. Despite the draught at the main entrance, the bedrooms were warm. The location was excellent, with easy access to a supermarket and a short walk to Princes Street. The supply of books, DVDs, and CDs kept us entertained. We also enjoyed using the nearby British Waterways facility for showers. it was a unique and enjoyable experience.
The toilet couldn't handle tissue paper, which wasn't ideal, but it didn't stop us from enjoying our stay. The boat could use a deep clean and some maintenance, but it didn't significantly affect our experience.
