Lovely Hotel and staff. Only stayed 1 night - only thing i found was we were on level 1 and room was fairly dark maybe a 'bright' lamp would be useful if needing to see better

Great room and location
Great stay, the room was huge, as was the bathroom, so plenty of space for 2 adults and a cot. The only downside was when booking for the 3 of us, with breakfast included, it doesn't include the childrens breakfast, which we only found out when checking out

Wonderful hotel, a favourite in Edinburgh!
Myself and my partner stayed for a few days over new years with our friends and absolutely loved the hotel. From the moment we walked through the door, the staff couldn’t do enough for us. They were extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome. The rooms were exceptional and the decoration through the hotel was fantastic. We all enjoyed the atmosphere in the bar and the food options at breakfast. The view from our room was beautiful—highly recommend room 907!

Luxury honeymoon stay
We had an absolutely amazing stay. We told the hotel that we had booked for our honeymoon. We arrived and they upgraded us to a suite on the top floor with free prosecco in the bar. The room was huge with an amazing bathroom and a bath in the bedroom. Great selection of tea/coffee/biscuits/fererro rocher too. We liked the option of being eco and skipping cleaning the room during our stay and earning a free drinks voucher. Cocktails in the bar were delicious and the decoration gave the bar a cool vibe. Breakfast was fantastic. Great range and top quality ingredients. The hotel was perfectly located to enjoy all aspects of the city on foot and the tram stop from the airport is right outside too. We couldn't have been happier with our stay. We will definitely be back to more Malmaison hotels.
