the location is great for the local shopping. The breakfast was fabulous, Even if you have tours going out of the old city it takes about 15 minutes to walk there. You have to be ok with going up stairs or detouring but I found the quiet on the new town side much preferable to the overcrowding in old town. There are good restaurants nearby as well. the Bus stop is right there and you can get everywhere super easy from this location.

The hotel location is great. It's close to all the attractions and main streets. Many options for dinners and pubs in walking distance. There is a tram station next to the hotel which can take you to the airport in 30 min or to Leith in 20 min. Rooms were comfortable and clean. The staff was very friendly.

I absolutely loved this gorgeous and unique hotel. The staff were so helpful - even bringing me a fan to the room and providing local shops for cashmere. The lighting in the room was moody and romantic. I sat in the bar for a glass of wine and wonderfully tasting crème brûlée. Highly recommend! When I’m back in Edinburgh - I will be staying here.

We were in the attic room on the 9th floor.
The room was massive and the big bed comfortable. We had 3 windows each with upholstered double bench seats in front of them. The bathroom was big also but a little dark. The AC worked as it should and warmed or cooled the room very quickly.
Breakfast was really good with plenty of choice and cooked to orders, with a continental side. Mac at breakfast was really helpful and extremely polite.
We asked for our half board evening meal to be sent to our room. They did this without quibble and didn’t charge anything extra.
Because we decided not to have our room made up (2 nights) were given 2 vouchers for drinks up to £7.50 each. We were also given a voucher for 2 free glasses of Prosecco during our stay.
The hotel is very well located with plenty of bars and restaurants close by. It is also a 5 minute walk from the St James’s shopping centre. The Tram station is across the square which is a direct link to the airport. We booked just the night before so it was a little expensive, but won’t be, I’d imagine, for any advance booking.

The location in Edinburgh is excellent. The hotel is close to stations, theatre and St. James Quarter for shopping. Directly on the other side of the Square are various restaurants. We paid for an upgrade to a Club Room and were fortunate to be given a Suite. We had a nice bathroom with shower and a slipper bath in the main bedroom. Bed was very comfortable and despite being at the front of the hotel we slept well with no noise. Staff were friendly and nice. Room was ok cleanliness wise but housekeeping replenishment of some supplies was poor. Other minor maintenance issues and very poorly performing hairdryer but otherwise was a really good stay.

Hotel was good and would have no problems staying there again - however there is no overnight parking other than city multi-storey which is a significant walk away and the whole Malmaison decor theme is so early 2000’s (and overall too dark inside). I think a refresh is needed, costly but necessary.

Locatoon, service, cleanliness were all great. The only issue I had was that we were booked as 2 adults and 1 child and when we arrived at the hotel we were constantly being asked to pay extra for having a child (extra for a bed, extra for breakfast), even though my original booking through Expedia was for 2 adults and 1 child. The staff waived all extra charges for this eventually though.

Room was full of defects & neglect. Room was not worth the money at all, could easily get the same quality at lesser hotels for a lesser price. Breakfast on Sunday 1/2/26 was awful, didn't get a hot breakfast because staff ignored us. But the staff member in question was happy and more occupied flirting with the female guests in the breakfast area. Waited 30 minutes to get an order but it was too late, we left. Bar staff service was far too slow but when it is a busy weekend 1 waiter and 1 bar member was shocking when the bar was full.

Motor bikes stopping at light and buses kept us up a bit. The room other than that was great. Nicer pillows are needed and maybe a thicker duvet. But that’s personal choices. We would really recommend this hotel. The location is great. The bed was comfortable.
