I have stayed in a lot of lovely hotels . Some expensive and some quite responsibly priced which is why I was so shocked at the Mal in Leith. The setting is lovely and the restaurants near by are great but the Mal really let us down, the room was dark and dusty, with no main lights only side lamps,... More

We were attending a 40th Birthday party in Leith so the Malmaison was perfectly located for us, however it wouldn't be where I would stay for a trip to Edinburgh if sightseeing/shopping etc. Just a bit too far out the way. First impressions were good. Lovely old exterior and friendly, efficient check-in. One thing to note if you are travelling... More

This hotel was booked through Last Minute Travel.com and a good nightly rate was achieved for a 3 night stay. On arrival at the hotel, we were duly 'checked in' three hours early to the actual web site check-in time. As we had traveled a long way, we were quite grateful for this. The hotel is situated in Leith Port... More

On arrival we were told we couldn't get in to the room as there were no duvet covers on the bed this was at around 4.00pm, not impressed. Also they took a £25 deposit incase we used the mini bar etc, this wasn't disclosed to us before arrival. This was to be refunded on check out but took several days... More

Certainly there are lots of positives. The hotel is in a beautiful, historic building and has great design. Rooms are spacious, with complimentary WiFi, well priced mini bar, tea/coffee etc... Breakfast is also very good and well priced. There is free parking right next door. Its not in the most central part of the city, but Leith (the old docks)... More

Free WiFi and parking, excellent. The Leith is an alternate location to the city center. There plenty of excellent restaurants nearby. Ocean terminal is a short (7 minute) walk away. The decor is funny. The corridors are painted very dark with minimal lighting, making them gloomy dark corridors. There is no view from the room. Only the front facing rooms... More

We have just returned from a two night stay at the Edinburgh Malmaison hotel. We have stayed in a few of the Malmison hotels and actually got married in the Liverpool Mal in Feb. I'm afraid to say that so far this is my least favourite Mal. Check in was fine. Room was okay, great view but a little dated... More

My partner and I stayed for 3 nights over the bank holiday weekend. We were pleasantly suprised on our arrival that for £25/night extra we'd been upgraded to a suite. The room was fantastic - large and clean with great facilities including a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was large and modern with a great shower. We were slightly worried... More

Stayed here for a friends 40th. We were eating at Martin Wishart, which is only a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Stayed in a suite which was nice and big, two TVs, only slight complaint is that the room was slightly dark. Sunday Brunch is very good.
