Great location and service. This is quite the party area at night so it's a wee bit crazy but they're open late and were extremely helpful and very nice. They called me a taxi as well.

Overall easy to do and navigate. No issues with dropping off. The only reason giving 4 stars is there was no one The front desk when picking up the bags and a line of people struggling to check in on the self check in line. So we had to wait some time to collect our bags, which after a long trip can feel like ages. But other than that no issues!
- Denise
Quick, easy drop off and pick up. Good location. Staff friendly and helpful.
- Thelma
Just behind reception, really easy to access and really simple to use too
- Komal
Really close to the bus station I was leaving from and arriving at
- Birgit
It was easy to find about Google maps. And the staff is very helpful.
- Emma
Everything was perfect; the luggage is in a separate room with a tag that is checked by the staff when it is collected.

3 minutes from Edinburgh Bus Station. Tram right outside to get to the Airport
- Matthew
The bags were put in the hotel's general left luggage room, with a ticket on each to make it easy for them to be found when picking them up. All good.
- Elizabeth
Needed to leave our bags somewhere once we’d checked out of our Air B & B as our train wasn’t until later in the day. Maybe a little expensive but really easy to book, close by and efficient service at the Holiday Inn Express where we left them.

Luggage storage and bag rules at the Royal Yacht Britannia
The Royal Yacht Britannia sits permanently berthed in Leith, Edinburgh's port district, where visitors come to explore five decks of the former royal ship, from the State Apartments down to the Crew's Quarters.
Suitcases and large bags aren't allowed inside, since they'd be awkward in the ship's narrow corridors, but small backpacks or cross-body bags are fine and recommended to keep your hands free during the tour. There's free luggage storage available during your visit, which makes planning straightforward.
Staff at the Handset Desk will take large backpacks or suitcases into the luggage store before you board, so you can tour the ship unencumbered. The average visit takes around 2 hours. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day at 6 locations near the Royal Yacht Britannia.

Getting to the ship with your bags
Edinburgh Waverley is the nearest train station, located 2.3 miles from the ship, so you'll likely arrive there with bags already in hand. From the city centre, Lothian Buses routes 10, 16, 34, 35, and 36 all run to the Royal Yacht Britannia, with a single journey costing £2.20. A single adult fare on Edinburgh Trams within the city zone is £2.40, though you'll still need a bus or taxi from the tram stop to reach Leith. Since tickets are for an arrival time slot but you can stay as long as you wish within opening hours, you have flexibility if your bag drop takes a moment longer than expected.
Planning your visit
Between January and March, and again from November to December, the ship opens from 10:00 to 17:00 with last entry at 15:00. It is open 363 days a year, closing only on 25 December and 1 January.
