The Four Sisters Boatels - Houseboats

A beautifully appointed, luxury boat moored in central Edinburgh with comfortable beds, kitchen and lounge area. The toilet took some getting used to!!!! But in a great location and something quirky and different for a special occasion.

Loved our stay at the Four Sisters. Three nights in Edinburgh celebrating the college graduations of my son and his girlfriend. We arrived early and were able to drop our luggage and go across the way for coffee in a little plant shop. The first evening we walked to the Royal Mile, though it was very steep so when we returned for our castle tour the following morning we took a Bolt. There are a couple stores nearby to pick up eggs and milk and whisky! We also took the bus from very nearby to the Scottish Museum. Tap and go. Had some trouble getting the tv to work the first night and when we saw the staff the next day mentioned it on our way out of the Basin. It was fixed when we returned for the evening. The living area was comfortable, even for my 6 ft. 3" son. We played cards into the night and really appreciated that smart streaming speaker where we all chose all kinds of music. It was an adventure to stay on this boat in the canal. We also ordered the arrival basket which was handy, as well as a bottle of Prosecco. The one recommendation I would make is to note an actual address near the Basin to provide to your Bolt or Uber or taxi.

Absolutely amazing time had on Camillia. A mini floating boutique experience. Perfect central location. Fully equipped and cosy for the six of us. Y family loved the stay and would definitely return. She wasn’t fazed by storm Katryns 45mph gusts. Would like to return in the summer to sip cocktails on the deck next time.

Ideal for a family of 5. With 3 cabins and a living room , there’s plenty of space . Our hosts were really kind and welcoming Lot of buses around that can bring you everywhere in the city. Don’t forget to buy the daily family pass directly in the bus!

Our 1st time to Edinburgh we loved city and completely loved the Boatel “wee sisters”. We were impressed with location cleanliness, warmth, cooking facilities, TV's and all the lovely touches. The whole experience was so convenient and relaxing. Well done to Natalie and her team.

Unfortunately we would highly recommend that anyone with families to approach with caution and Do Not Book this. Due to the experience and what happened, awful experience overnight, we would not recommend this hotel due to the danger posed to our family. The issue is the location of the boat, this is open to the public with zero appropriate security protections in place. We suffered a break in during the middle of the night by drunk males which started with banging on the boat, followed by breaking in and attempting the doors. We got lucky as they ran off but in the event they had other ideas, our children and ourselves could have been in severe danger. This was a ‘near miss’. Unfortunately the management of the boat declined to fully refund the stay despite the above, which is simply disgraceful. The stress this has caused since with the danger we were all put in, and hours on the phone to the booking company and is simply not worth it. In addition to this, unfortunately the owner lied to us by saying this had never happened in 15years and yet her colleague who came to clean the boat discussed that it also happened to him and his friends. This could be very dangerous. Images of the location of the boat attached. Book with caution. This review is unfortunately factual events and is no form of slander.
