Great location, decent service
Really nice rooms, great location, shame they have no parking or their own. Reception didn’t seem super confident - asked me to pay for the room when I already had. Breakfast on a weekday started at 7am so we didn’t get the “full works” despite paying for it. We did get a nice breakfast delivered in the morning but had to call again for milk. Really nice hotel but for a 4 star hotel, quite expensive hotel I expect a little more.

Don’t stay here
This is point blank not a 4 star hotel. Spent 1500 USD for three nights here (middle of the week), regrettably. Here’s why this place sucks: - two elevators one goes to even floors one goes to odd so if you’re on an odd floor you have to elevator down to 5, go down the stairs, to exit the building on 4. - this place requires you to lug your luggage up/ down stairs and bellhops are nowhere to be seen - the hotel is creepy. Straight out of a David lynch movie. Creepy art with always a portrait looking at you from every angle. - dirty. Black hairs on my sheets upon arrival. Cleaning staff unbelievably lazy. Room was “cleaned” but bed not made, trash not taken out etc. only proof of housekeeping was a fresh towel. - the restaurant also sucks. Told me the kitchen closed at 9 pm and to hurry down there, then I sat there and my table wasn’t ready until past 9. It was not busy and they still served me but lol don’t make me hurry only to wait. Food was mediocre. - overall, a cold dark place with creepy vibes and incompetent staff

After the rigors of a 4-day tour, checking into the Malmaison Hotel felt like coming home! The high ceiling, full length drapes, artistic decor, and bold color schemes all contribute to a most unique vibe. The room, including the bathroom, was spacious, comfortable, and would meet the most exacting standards. And most importantly, all members of staff were courteous, helpful, and just plain outstanding in their professionalism. We would definitely stay at Malmaison Hotel in Edinburgh again in our future travels.

Convenient, walkable location to Old Town & New Town areas. While our room had no view, the suite was comfortable size (in contrast to comparable hotel in London).

Over priced . £650 for 2 nights for a very basic room with no view . Not even a fridge in the room . Getting to the room needed google maps, a rabbit warren. Just to basic for the money .

So many problems I wouldn’t stay again for the price Travelodge would suffice! Not keeping to timing of room service having placed the order three hours earlier making 30 minutes over time requested; not attempting to clear the trays and replenishing courtesy trays until I requested then forgetting cups!; reception not promptly answering the phone and connecting had to call the reception from my mobile!; when room service delivered just one fork for the two of us my friend voted to use a teaspoon to eat broccoli! Finally for this report the restaurant I knocked the kitchen door on three separate times to get service as 1) coffee grounds needed changing 2) no melon fruit salad 3) no bowls! Fed up with the whole thing!!!!
