wonderful, clean room; very spacious, especially for both European and an older (but well-updated) building. The breakfast was great, as were all amenities, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is 5-10 minutes from Waverley Station and 10 minutes from the old town tourist section. Many places to eat and shop are nearby, and it is also conveniently located right next to both the city tour bus and the city bus terminal for other excursion tours. Will stay again next time in Edinburgh.

Spent a week at the Malmaison. Location was fantastic. Walking distance to everything. Airport Tram stops 50 meters from the hotel. Hop On Hop Off bus stops directly out front. Room was comfortable if a bit small. Nice to have air conditioning and bathroom facilities were very nice. Breakfast was very good, though options were limited.

Overall a fantastic stay in a great hotel. Food was fantastic and the location could not be better. Only slight negative was the hotel was quite dark (you might say ambient) and my wife has an eye condition (RP) which made it a little challenging. We'd still go back though, so guess that says it all.

I loved my stay at the Malmaison. My suite was quite spectacular and super clean and comfy. The hotel's location is perfect. Most of all though, as an older woman traveling solo, I appreciated very much the friendliness and thoughtfulness of the staff. They made me feel at home and cared about. Thank you.
