Michelin Guide "Impressive former sea mens' mission, set on the quayside; the first of the Malmaison hotels."
Insight Guides "A superb renovation of Leith's former Seamen's Mission building featuring art deco styling, four-poster beds and a first class restaurant and Parisian bistro."
Rough Guide "Chic, modern hotel set in the grand old seamen’s hostel just back from the wharf-side."
Star Service "Located a 15-minute drive from the center (a long half-hour walk), this hotel cuts a fashionable figure in the longshoreman's part of town." Full review
Frommer's "It's a respectable part of the spruced-up waterfront, its brasserie and bar buzzing, with guests spilling out onto the cobbled street." Full review

Opt for a room at the front that overlooks the port
Lonely Planet "The stylish, award-winning Malmaison is housed in a 19th-century former Seaman's Mission in Leith."
i
Be sure to ask for a superior room at the front of the hotel, for extra space and a view over the river.
