Stayed here at the end of our trip and enjoyed the stay, great location for eating at some of Edinburghs best restaurants. Bigger than what we normally stay in but still very nice for a town hotel. more

My husband and I have stayed at the Malmaison in Edinburgh several times.We love its location in the Leith area--which has lots of character, great restaurants and ample free parking. But I don't think we'll stay there again. We had booked a superior room requesting a view of the harbor. When we arrived, our room on the third floor overlooking... more

We visited the Malmaison for 2 nights over Valentine's weekend this year (2009) and we thought it was a great hotel. The hotel is situated in Leith which is about a 20 minutes walk from the centre and Princes Street, but a very quick and easy bus ride from the hotel. Leith has lots of nice bars and restaurants and... more

We booked this hotel for our first wedding anniversary because we wanted something special, we did get the internet rate and realistically expected to get a slightly smaller room but when we rang in advance we were told we had one of the nicest of the smaller rooms. Positives: The hotel itself is very impressive and in a great location... more

WOW Malmaison Edinburgh is STUNNING. Situated on the Water of Leith, this gorgeous boutique hotel was the location for our one year anniversary celebrations. As a modern woman, I had decided to treat my other half. Namely by blindfolding him, bundling him into a cab and travelling down to the Water of Leith, where he was led out of the... more

I am not normally a review writer (or a complainer!) but just wanted to make sure other travellers have the full facts before they book here. My husband and I have stayed in all sorts of accommodation in the past year (from a tent to the One&Only to a travelodge) but have never stayed anywhere which fell so short of... more

Edinburgh Malmaison was overall disappointing after a brilliant stay in the Leeds Malmaison a couple of years ago. When we checked in we were told we'd been upgraded for free- bonus. However the hotel, including our room is looking tired and worn. We had a dodgy mark on the armchair in our room, the carpet was frayed at the edges,... more

Stayed for a Saturday night recently and even though we plan to return to Edinburgh we will not be stopping here. Even though the room was clean and nicely decorated, I think some updating is required. The throw on the bed had a stain on it and was wet to the touch, obviously from an attempt to clean it, why... more

Arrived in the room and it was quite tatty - it needed a good lick of paint. There was no aircon in the room and it was warm so we had to sleep with the windows open. The windows overlooked some noisy machinery though so sleeping wasn't easy. The sink in the room did not drain properly and the bedding... more
