Very friendly and helpful staff. Cold, very dark, underlit corridors and stairs and not very warm bedroom. Excellent looking restaurant menu. Food poorly cooked. Walnut and blue cheese salad good but less than half a walnut and even less cheese on it. Steak very thin and overcooked, chips very oversalted. Cooked breakfast overcooked. Scrambled egg part raw part rubbery. Disappointing... More

I stayed at the Malmaison with family for two nights in June. The stay was fairly pricey (£160) keeping in mind the location (very far from city center!) and quality of rooms. We were met with smiles at the check-in and were given our keys quickly. The service at the hotel was top notch, which was the only saving grace... More

A nice room (Arthur's Suite) with a lovely bath area & bathroom. The room was very hot at night which made it hard to sleep. The staff were not overly friendly at reception but the service in the restaurant was ok. There was also a problem with our bill where they tried to charge us for dinner we had already... More

Recently stayed for one night at The Malmaison Edinburgh. Check in was friendly and quick and we were given a lovely room on the second floor.

Stayed at this Mal in September. The hotel needs to go through some upgrading as we have stayed at other Malmaisons and sadly this one was lacking the cool sophistication. The staff worked hard to make our stay enjoyable. More

We recently stayed at this hotel for a weekend whilst attending a family wedding. The location is reasonable in the newly modernised docks area Leith, with it's fashionable bars and restaurants nearby including The Kitchin. It is also within walking distance of the Ocean Terminal shopping centre and the Royal Yacht Britannia. The hotel itself is pleasant with friendly staff... More

After a weekend away in Edinburgh cannot fault this hotel. Food was great, drinks reasonable and rooms clean and well looked after. Location was within easy 5 mins bus /taxi ride of city centre. Excellent, would recommend! More

I was slightly concerned about staying at Malmaison, given some of the mixed reviews here but I found everything was very good, great breakfast, good bar and very, very good nights` sleep, what more could you ask for? More

Do you like to stay in a location that is a bit more characterful than your standard city centre hotel? If yes, then choose the Malmaison in Edinburgh which is to be found down by the old docks of Leith but from which the city centre can be accessed via a short bus trip. I stayed there with my family... More
