"Impressive former sea mens' mission, set on the quayside; the first of the Malmaison hotels."
"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."
"Chic, modern hotel set in the grand old seamen’s hostel just back from the wharf-side."
"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

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