Stayed at the Malmaison in Leith for my boyfriend's birthday on the dinner, bed and breakfast rate at £99. We liked the fact the hotel was out of the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh and we could relax. It was very sunny the day we were there so it was lovely to sit out in one of the bars along... more

My husband and I stayed in a superior room with a king sized bed and views over Leith harbour. Having read the reviews about the Hotel's breakfast being poor and slow we opted not to have breakfast but use the fridge in the room and take our own! The room was nice, traditionally Scottish in decor, clean and very quiet.... more

We stayed here on our way back from T in the Park - well worth the stay - really appreciated a bit of luxury! Got a brilliant deal on the hotel. We arrived late at night (11:30 pm) which wasn't a problem and managed to get a complimentary late check out as we arrived so late. The room was spacious,... more

I spent several two-week stretches in the Malmaison Edinburgh, and while the rooms were comfy, I'm certainly glad my employer picked up the tab. The check-in staff were, erm, "young", and, y'know, like, acted like it. And don't get me started on the noise. If you like amorous 40-somethings coming upstairs from the bar and having a bit of a... more

We managed to get a rate of £130 per night which is not bad for Edinburgh. However, we were a bit disappointed with the hotel. As someone else has written we were required to make a £50 deposit on our credit card (never had that before anywhere and I wouldn't have used the overpriced minibar anyway). On walking into our... more

Having never stayed in a Malmaison before, I was surprised upon checking in to hear the check in clerk request that I put down a £50 'deposit' on my credit card to guarantee any purchases I make. I thought this was pretty cheeky, so I refused. After about 15 minutes in the room, the clerks colleague called and said that... more

Great hotel, best service I have had for years, location in Leith a bit far out from the centre but the bar and restauarant made up for it - 5 stars from me If you get the chance, upgrade to a suite - well worth the extra !!! more

A bit like a Travel Lodge with slightly uprated decor. Nice bar area etc but the rooms are seriously underwhelming and a few issues that cropped up could have been dealt with better. Lots of decent places to eat nearby though and it's a nice alternative to staying in the centre. more

We stayed at Malmaison Edinburgh for one night. The hotel requires a lick of paint in some areas, but our room, which was a suite, was in good order and very clean. The bed however was uncomfortable - it seems Malmaison have decided to use "extra firm" mattresses on their beds, and the mattress was not particularly thick meaning we... more
