We stayed here on our way back from T in the Park - well worth the stay - really appreciated a bit of luxury! Got a brilliant deal on the hotel. We arrived late at night (11:30 pm) which wasn't a problem and managed to get a complimentary late check out as we arrived so late. The room was spacious,... more

I spent several two-week stretches in the Malmaison Edinburgh, and while the rooms were comfy, I'm certainly glad my employer picked up the tab. The check-in staff were, erm, "young", and, y'know, like, acted like it. And don't get me started on the noise. If you like amorous 40-somethings coming upstairs from the bar and having a bit of a... more

We managed to get a rate of £130 per night which is not bad for Edinburgh. However, we were a bit disappointed with the hotel. As someone else has written we were required to make a £50 deposit on our credit card (never had that before anywhere and I wouldn't have used the overpriced minibar anyway). On walking into our... more

Having never stayed in a Malmaison before, I was surprised upon checking in to hear the check in clerk request that I put down a £50 'deposit' on my credit card to guarantee any purchases I make. I thought this was pretty cheeky, so I refused. After about 15 minutes in the room, the clerks colleague called and said that... more

Great hotel, best service I have had for years, location in Leith a bit far out from the centre but the bar and restauarant made up for it - 5 stars from me If you get the chance, upgrade to a suite - well worth the extra !!! more

A bit like a Travel Lodge with slightly uprated decor. Nice bar area etc but the rooms are seriously underwhelming and a few issues that cropped up could have been dealt with better. Lots of decent places to eat nearby though and it's a nice alternative to staying in the centre. more

We stayed at Malmaison Edinburgh for one night. The hotel requires a lick of paint in some areas, but our room, which was a suite, was in good order and very clean. The bed however was uncomfortable - it seems Malmaison have decided to use "extra firm" mattresses on their beds, and the mattress was not particularly thick meaning we... more

The Malmaison is really a lovely hotel, the staff were very accommodating and gave us lots of info about Edinburgh and offered to do things like holding on to our bags on check out and ordering us a cab home from the restaurant - things we hadn't even thought about until they suggested it. It's not right in the centre... more

Having stayed at the Malmaison in Leeds a couple of years ago and dined at the Mal in Edinburgh about 5 years ago, I was looking forward to my stay here. However I was slightly disappointed in that Malmaison no longer seems to be anything special. My partner described it as the "Easyjet" of hotels; this was due to the... more
