Malmaison Edinburgh

Really excellent location and wonderful staff.

Hi, we were only there for two nights. There was not enough storage space for two people's belongings. There were no drawers, just one shelf and a limited hanging area in the wardrobe, which was shared with the iron and ironing board. The bath tap was very stiff and hard to turn. The soap dispenser in the bath wasn't working. It wouldn't plunge down. I tried turning it both ways to see if it would pop up, but no luck. The washbasin plug didn't work. When you tried to empty the sink, it wouldn't come up, so you had to lift the plug out with your fingernails to drain it. Alternatively, you could leave it for a while and hope it emptied. We didn't attempt to use the tartan bath in the living room because it moved when you touched it. We didn't want to risk flooding someone else's room. There was no air conditioning in the room. As it is a very old building with very thick walls, it retained the heat from the day. We had to jam the bedside window open because the window stopper had been fitted too low, meaning you couldn't use the catch to hold the window open. We also had to open the other windows to get a draught through the room. Although a fan is provided, you still need cool air coming in from outside. Out of hours vending macine has a limited poor choice at very asorbant prices had to use as bar was closed The other only offer was a bottle of wine this was just after 2300 hrs For a suite, I think Malmaison can do better.

No air conditioning in a room in the middle of summer... very weird especially for a hotel of this price. And it's just that the air conditioning wasn't working, there was not a unit in the room and just a fan available. Not good enough for this chain.

I’ve stayed here on a few occasions everything is always great. Free parking is brilliant

Room was tired and noisy with creaky floors outside our door !

I would book somewhere else next time. Everything was OK, but the breakfast was not included and restaurant closed early

This is a hidden gem in a wonderful part of the city. The staff were so friendly and kind. Parking is easy and access from parking is very close. The food and food and shopping options are wonderful and very close. The view from the room was beautiful. A 5 star experience for sure.

Great location, lovely restaurants nearby. Great free parking

Cute building and fun location

Very nice hotel on the quay at Leith.

Great location on the outskirts with Tram service into the city just around the corner

Wonderful breakfast bar…..nice dinner menu. Very pleasant staff

Room was dingy. Noise from the units outside the (one small) window (aircon, I’m assuming; was awful. Didn’t get a wink of sleep.

The property was clean and breakfast was great. The bar food was very good for a burger and chips. We booked 2 rooms and each one was well equipped for all our needs.

Got an upgrade which was fab,breakfast was excellent plenty to choose from

Great location with parking - a mere tram ride from Central Edinburgh. Lots of places to eat close to the water. Great staff. The first Malmaison does not disappoint.

Positives. Parking was great . Staff was great. Think for the price the room wasn’t great. No air con. Bathroom fan didn’t work. Refrigerator didn’t work properly. I won’t be returning .

Outstanding staff. Very dog friendly.

Wonderful room
