Lovely property as ever with Malmaison. Fantastic location - scenic and at the centre of the trendy restaurants. Staff very good - really made the difference.

Room needs thinking through better - for example, any hotel at this level has a suitcase stand - here you have to put your suitcase on the desk! No proper plug point next to the bed (so you can’t use your laptop in bed and charge it) just a USB-A socket (which is now out of date). Bathroom toilet handle is 2cms too far left, so stops the toilet seat staying up - Doh!! Things like this should have been spotted during design or rectified during shake-down. The lift (next to our room) has a poorly greased wheel in the pulley system so squeaks constantly - again, a simple maintenance fix that has not been noticed or dealt with but is disturbing for guests in that room.

Arrival at hotel, warm and welcoming, greeted with haggis ball and a mini drink. Room had everything we needed including safe and a mini fridge. Shower and bath in bathroom excellent. Loved the extras including, coffee machine, chocolates and massage soap. Great location easy to walk to the tram for the city. Had room service which was delivered quickly and was delicious. Free car parking, we had no issues but not secure.

Pillows were very soft, no alternative options. Would have liked improved security, to have to use swipe card to access lift and stairs, as anyone can enter bedroom corridors.

The visit was to celebrate both our 30th anniversary and my wife's birthday. On arrival we were upgraded to room 320, which was fantastic in every department including facilities, location with amazing views through the triple-aspect windows. Couldn't wish for a better room. Although we did not dine at the hotel we had a drink in the bar which was excellent with courteous, pleasant and knowledgeable staff. The reception staff were also lovely, helpful and efficient

The only problem we encountered, and it seems petty, considering we had a fanstastic stay, was there was a section of carpet at the bottom of the bed which was threadbare. Disappointing for such a great roo,, which took a little bit of the shine of an otherwise perfect stay

We loved the friendly front of house. Especially Chris he was great. He welcomed us with a warm smile and was very informative about things to do during our stay. We found it easy to chat to him. He was engaging and asked each time we saw him, what were our plans or how was our day. The hotel was lovely, the design and the room we stayed in was well put together. We enjoyed the location being away from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh. The city center was easily accessed as the tram stop was located around the corner from the hotel and a tram direct every 6 minutes meant not waiting around. The little larder in Edinburgh do a lovely gourmet porridge. 😊 We also enjoyed an evening at the bar, the drinks were top quality including the cocktails !!!. We would quite happily come stay at Malmaison again.

The location is great for Edinburgh free parking is a real bonus , we left the car at the hotel and took the tram which is around the corner The Shore tram stop to Princess Street the heart of Edinburgh journey approximately 25 minutes. I booked a standard twin room for me & my sister I didn’t realise that standard rooms all have the shower over the bath. We were allocated a lovely room however I have mobility issues my fault entirely I should’ve informed the hotel before arriving. I phoned reception and they were excellent very accommodating they agreed to move us to another room with a walk in shower so much better for me. A lovely member of staff showed us the new room as they were fully booked it was the only room available with a queen bed which was the compromise that we decided to make in order to have a walk in shower on initial inspection the room looked great so we gladly agreed to swap rooms. The power shower was amazing rain shower and hand held shower head however the bathroom door didn’t close properly it had swollen after painting and needs attention no problem for us as we are sisters, the shower also didn’t drain very well the drain needs cleaning out, a minor issue I suppose however there were ring stains on the wooden furniture and marks ( possibly burn marks) on the long leather seat under the mirror. I was quite disappointed as I stay in a lot of luxury hotels in standard rooms and I felt this was a real shame as I was supposed to be treating my sister to a little luxury for a couple of nights I now realise that I should have upgraded to a superior room I suppose I just thought that a standard room at a Malmaison hotel wouldn’t have maintenance issues to be honest. Years ago I was a housekeeper in a 4 star hotel in Amsterdam and room maintenance was a number 1 priority. I have to say though the rest of the hotel was lovely the staff are great very welcoming and the food is delicious we booked half board and all the meals were amazing.

The room was great, spacious with a very comfortable bed and bed linen. The bathroom also was spacious enough with plenty of storage. It is all very conveniently located and exactly what we required from an accommodation perspective.

The lighting in the room/bathroom could be better for applying makeup etc. (especially when going to a posh do as we were!) The breakfast was disappointing and overpriced, the cold buffet part was fine but the cooked part was poor and rather disingenuous in that a pretence is made of it being cooked to order which, when it arrived, clearly isn't - it's pre-cooked and kept warm and at £23 per head was terrible value. We were also disappointed that the bar was shut at midnight, not just on a Saturday but it was Burn's Night too! We were told we could have room service but that is hardly a good substitute for drinks in the bar with friends.

An attractive building in an excellent location in Leith, a short distance from the nearest tram stop, which will take you into Edinburgh or to the Royal Yacht Britannia. Excellent free parking at the rear with lots of spaces. We were greeted warmly by the receptionist, who was very helpful. The downstairs area of the hotel is nicely decorated with a good ambience. The rooms are clean and stylish with comfortable beds. The bar has a nice atmosphere with a good range of cocktails.

The bathrooms are a bit plain and basic compared with the attention to detail given to the rest of the hotel.

Very nice, clean room with reaching views. Was within walking distance to Royal Yacht and also tram very near to catch into city centre

Decided to have an evening meal in the hotel as they were advertising 50% steak night. When the waitress gave us the menu, she explained they were also doing a T bone steak, which could be a sharer, which wasn't on the menu. My husband asked if he could have it as his meal or was it for 2. She replied he could have it as his main meal, saying you may as well with its 50% off. The meal was very nice and then we received the bill. We queried this as T-bone didn't not have the reduction on it. The waitress took the bill to the manager, who in turn came to tell us the T-bone was not on offer. We feel the bill should have been rectified as advertised, but all he offered was to remove the service charge. A disappointing end to an otherwise very nice visit

A waterfront location in Leith. While not a city centre location the tram service is less than 5 minutes walk from hotel and costs just £2 for a ride into city centre. Relatively quiet but there are plenty of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. The hotel is very comfortable, and I was able to upgrade my room to a suite for about £33 per night. The room was large and comfortable. The bar and restaurant are not as glamorous as some Malmaison's I have stayed at but very good nevertheless. THe food and drinks are reasonably priced and good quality.

The lighting in the room was a bit dull....for a large room there was a large lamp / modern light and three table lamps. The gym is small but adequate for a light workout. While towels are provided there was no water but a very helpful member of staff did provide a carafe of fresh water and a glass.

Smoth Check-in and Check-out. Spare towels and pillows available for use in the room already. Room service menu was available. Free drink offered at check-in for giving up room cleaning service to be more eco friendly which i thought was a nice touch and as i was was travelling alone, i took advantage of this. Good Hot and Cold breakfast opions available.

Plenty of older style USB sockets on both sides of the bed, but couldnt use them as my charger is a USB-C, meaning i was unable to charge phone next to bed. Had to charge it at the 3 pin plug near to the desk, but a small critisism.
