    Relaxing stay in a good hotel

    Overall, the room was a little tired. The bathroom extractor fan did not work so we had a sauna experience. Reported the fault but not remedied during the stay. Nothing else of note.

    Free car parking for a good standard hotel is hard to come by, so is a definite plus. The staff were very helpful and always said hello in the passing. When we made a request to the front desk it was attended to within minutes, which was also most helpful. Hotel was clean and has a lovely waterfront location. Easy access to good public transport into the centre of Edinburgh. Comfortable bed and pillows.

    Nice hotel, good location.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Standard Double Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Dinner menu limited and expensive. Taps wonky. Shower reluctant to deliver hot water, fixed shower head made it difficult to wash without getting hair wet. Lighting too dim to read, don't want low light all the time. View was a brick wall and scaffolding. Some ventilation fan noise through pipes from other rooms (long after my fan went off). Breakfast nice but fried eggs tended to have set yolks. Gym could have more varied equipment rather than 6 identical running machines. 1cm gap around bathroom window frosting. Decor too understated, particularly corridors. Frosted layer obscured corridor windows - any view would be better. Would be nice if bars could stay open after 11. These are minor points.

    Good location, great helpful staff. Good and warm. Bar nice. 24 hour gym. Close to tram.

    The rather tired, sombre grey/brown decor became a little wearing after a while. The flush on the toilet in our ensuite was so weak it carried nothing away. It was disappointing to find the floor lamp was non-functional which rendered the room very dark (see comment about decor).

    The Malmaison Edinburgh is superbly located in the Leith Docks area. It has a good size car park and it was nice to be upgraded to a big room on checking in.

    The extractor fan in the bathroom would not switch off; it ran for the entire period of our stay. The passageway to our room had a problem with squeaking floorboards throughout its length possibly caused by an exposed hot water pipe below?

    Location overlooking the old harbour was a delight. Malmaison, though of Victorian origins is a well engineered conversion. The bar area is also well thought out and comfortable. The city tramway stop is close-by, an ideal way to travel up to Edinburgh.

    The price point is a little high but it is Edinburgh. The rooms whilst lovely and large, feel a little lacking. Not sure why just had that feeling.

    Decor was very nice. Toiletries are higher end. Free on site parking Location was great - 2mins walk to the Tram which takes you into Edinburgh centre.

    Seems strange to need a passkey to enter hotel after 9 30pm. Also to have toiletries bolted to wall, so you couldn't use freely. Toilet didn't flush and staff kept saying maintenance would fix it, on our last night, I asked a manager to change rooms, which was done and he offered a complimentary breakfast. Coffee machine at breakfast only made 1 cup at a time, so long queues for coffee.

    Gorgeous old building. Comfy beds, Food in restaurant good.
