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

wouldn't stray more than two or three streets away though - full of nut-buckets, so keep your hands on your wallet more

We stayed one night at the Malmaison on a shopping/football viewing trip to the city. We normally stay in a different part of Edinburgh but as everywhere seemed booked up due to the Festival starting, we got a late deal on the hotels own website that included dinner from a specific menu (though we could have ordered from the full... more

Stayed for one night in a standard double room with my wife. We were let in to our room 3 hours early by the receptionist! This was a great start. The room was nice, the decor could have done with a bit of updating, however, the room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was superb, all the staff were... more

Just returned from a great trip to Scotland. I only book in advance because the risk of not finding a hotel warrants doing so. Thus, I took a chance on the Malmaison, based on guide book descriptions. The only available rooms were suites, priced at $350. Although technically speaking, they are nice rooms, the hotel has a cramped and isolated... more

Just spent 4 nights (midweek) here and both of us were a bit disapointed. I assumed we were put in one of their standard rooms, having payed the summer discounted rate, however, based on their website I expected a bit more than 'standard'. Our room faced out to a couple of industrial units which liked to start at around 6.30am.... more

I booked a Sunday night here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. Being a skint student, usually such a hotel would be far out of my price range, but we took advantage of Malmaison's 'Sunday Supplement' deal which allowed us to stay for £10 (or £20 for a slightly superior room, like we did) as long as we spent £75 in... more
