Aside from the ship and the 1919 theme, the beds were incredibly comfy and the staff are such sweethearts. They love telling you about the history of the ship, they make jokes and always seem very cheerful and welcoming!

It is an absolute brilliant Hotel. I actually just wanted to stay for one night but I had to stay longer... My room was huge, beautifully designed and as thought through as a hotel room can be (It really had everything from nespresso coffee and fresh milk to nailpolish remover and hairstraightener )... The staff was very welcoming and helpful at all times and the breakfast was great.Highly recommend. One of the best Hotels I have stayed in so far.

Five of us as a family traveled from Ushuaia, the end of the world, and we could not have found a better place to rest and walk around Edinburgh. "The Heart" is beautiful, really huge and comfortable, and it is located to be able to explore the old center on foot. The host's kindness and good will make our experience 100% recommendable.

This is the second time we've stayed at Dalmahoy and we love this family friendly hotel and the facilities. The room was great and the hotel were able to provide a roll-away bed for our young child, free of charge. We enjoy the breakfast spread at Dalmahoy and the kids love the pool. We also make use of the quiet hour for adults in the evening to use the sauna. The cocktail bar was a lovely relaxing place to dine and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal there after our swim. We'll definitely be back.
