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."

Be sure to ask for a superior room at the front of the hotel, for extra space and a view over the river.

Lonely Planet "Not so much a hotel as a pub with rooms, the Bank Hotel is an imposing, neoclassical building on the corner of the Royal Mile and South Bridge, slap bang in the middle of everything." Full review

"The Inn on the Mile, is, as the name suggests, located on the Royal Mile in the heart of Old Edinburgh and within walking distance of several landmarks, including Edinburgh Castle." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"This former Royal Mile bank — a scaled-down layer cake of classical stone with colonnade and pediment — has been successfully converted into a lively pub with unexpectedly serene hotel rooms above." Full review
Fodor's "This chic and welcoming boutique inn could hardly be more central—some rooms even overlook the Royal Mile." Full review
Fodor's "The clue's in the name: this is a genial pub/inn, right on Edinburgh's world-famous Royal Mile." Full review
Frommer's "Self-styled contemporary inn with boutique hotel- style rooms...the nine rooms (split into Mile and plusher Royal Mile) are spread across three floors." Full review
