Amazed at a few of the recent negative reviews on here! This hotel is simply a wonderful place to unwind which the friendly, engaging, professional staff create with their smiles and eagerness to please. Our room was as described with a sea view and balcony. Although rather small, it was adequate. One slight negative was that the shower was a climb into the bath tub, wall mounted one which would present difficulties for those guests with any disabilities or age issues! Our included breakfast was reasonable, if limited, in choice, but was always cooked and prepared to order. We had dinner here two out of three nights and the menu, if a tad limited, was varied. A big plus was the inclusion of a number of Indian “chef specials”. I had the butter chicken with pilau rice which was beautifully prepared. There were other options for those who want a more British meal! A tip if you are travelling by train or intend to use the train during your stay, Kinghorn is the nearest Station not Burntisland. Both stations are great for a full day in Edinburgh as we experienced. These few negatives are, indeed, just that, and overall the hotel presents an excellent customer experience and is also great value for money. Thank you to all for a very enjoyable stay.

A lovely building and entrance, including a lovely garden and fountain. Very clean and classy, reception staff friendly and helpful. Room was fantastic, so modern and clean with plenty of floor space and storage. Big smart tv, hair dryer, iron and board, free mini toiletries, tea/coffee, full length mirror…couldn’t have asked for more at such a reasonable price for the room! Only thing was the room felt extremely hot when I first checked in (even though radiator was not on). I asked at reception if I could have a fan as windows barely open and a few minutes later it was brought to my room! Restaurant and bar great, breakfast lovely…highly recommend this hotel

Had tea at the Elbow Room tonight and cannot fault a thing, service was good and the food excellent. They have a bit of everything and its good pub grub. They have a pensioners menu which suited my mum with smaller portions but still plenty on the plate. Place is spotless and our meal wasn't too expensive. Been quite some time since i visited but I will definitely be back.

One of the places in all of England and Scotland where we were treated with utmost respect and hospitality. Bar none. Consistent. Welcome hosts were always sincerely friendly, never tired of answering questions and offering suggestions. The rooms are structurally solid, you could hear not a peep outside. The beds are firm yet comfortable, my best sleep in my whole vacation. Chocolate truffles and Tunnocks to welcome you. The bathroom tiles have the loveliest shade of emerald. Check out the dockyards too. Tour the engine rooms, tour the whole ship and imagine yourself as captain. The ship is beautifully restored. A pity she can’t move out of this berth, but she was a home for us for a few days. Breakfast is included, but not much to be desired, we preferred eating in town, which is just a quick walk outside. Chef and waitstaff are still the best nonetheless.

The hotel was conveniently situated for the tram into Edinburgh. Unfortunately the TV didn’t work when got into the room nor did the extraction fan in the bathroom. I called reception and the man got the TV working but he didn’t get the fan working properly. He said do you want some room spray and I said no I want it working. He offered to see if we could change rooms but no one got back to me. The breakfast was average.

This hotel is historic and grand, I highly recommend it. Was once the Harbor Master's house for the port of Leith and it truly holds all of the charm of a historic building, but with many cool upgrades! The area is really charming, just off the water and a fairly quick bus ride to all the downtown sites. Every single member of the staff from the restaurant, to housekeeping to the front desk really went out of their way to be kind, helpful and attentive. This was a trip of a lifetime for me and they truly made my visit to Edinburgh all the more. I highly recommend The Malmaison. Thank you so very much for an excellent stay.

Second part of husbands birthday treat. A stay on a historic 1919 boat with great history. It has been wonderfully renovated inside and docked in Leith. A 17 bedded boutique hotel with 4 parking places but restrictions are not in place at the weekends so we parked on the bridge. Our room was a cabin on the lower deck. Very 1920's style like a Agatha Christie film. Lovely walk in shower and very authentic. The shutters on the portholes close out the light. There is air conditioning, toiletries, kettle and coffee and tea etc , water. The bed was very comfortable. We had a wander to look at the engine and the outer decks. There is a lounge and a bar which did super cocktails. The staff were all lovely especially the barman who gave us a discount card for Moonwake brewery which we used. Breakfast was in 2 sittings in the bar. It was a lovely continental with cereal, fruit juice, coffee, pastries, bread, fruit, yoghurt, ham and cheese. A unique stay in a great location.
