I was excited about staying at Mal Edinburgh as I've previously been delighted with my stays in other Mal hotels. Got into my room and it was a fine size for one night, had all the lovely mal toiletries and mini bar items, but it also had a horrible damp smell about it. I had a shower and ended up... more

We booked a DBB break last weekend and were VERY disapointed. The hotel website states this is a LUXURY hotel in Edinburgh. Definately not ! The first room we were offered had stains on the carpets and the bathroom smelt of damp. Also the window was next to the air conitioning units. The reception staff were very helpful and offered... more

my partner and i stayed here in early in the summer on a saturday night, unfortunately the room we were allocated (301) was quite small and very hot i requested another fan from reception but it made little difference to the temperature, neither myself or my partner slept and it was a very uncomfortable night. at check out i explained... more

Weve stayed here a few times and never really had any complaints. Best value is definitely to check out the website for their offers. For example on Sundays you can stay for £10.00 per room (or upgrade for £20.00) if you spend more than £75.00 per couple in the brasserie - and you can include any pre dinner drinks in... more

After reading several poor reviews on trip advisor, we had some trepidation about our weekend trip. However, we found the whole experience very good indeed. The check in was smooth and professional with local staff. We had booked 2 nights, the first with Dinner and breakfast, and the second was room only. We dumped our bags on the saturday, and... more

We spent two nights in The Malmaison for a birthday weekend. The sole purpose of the trip was to visit The Kitchin . We were not dissapointed . The staff were very welcoming and informative. We thought it was an ideal place for us as it was not right in the hub Edinburgh but within very easy reach. This proved... more

...but we haven't stayed in any others! This small hotel has a big reputation, but doesn't live up to it. It is wonderfully situated - nice harbour outside, bustling street life and a close walk to Ocean Terminal for amenities. After that it disappoints. Disappointed by: - dark, dingy decor - extraordinarily high priced breakfast (£14 per person for simple... more

Stayed here at the end of our trip and enjoyed the stay, great location for eating at some of Edinburghs best restaurants. Bigger than what we normally stay in but still very nice for a town hotel. more

My husband and I have stayed at the Malmaison in Edinburgh several times.We love its location in the Leith area--which has lots of character, great restaurants and ample free parking. But I don't think we'll stay there again. We had booked a superior room requesting a view of the harbor. When we arrived, our room on the third floor overlooking... more
