Great location. Hotel suites have bathtubs in the middle of the room that take up unnecessary space in our opinion. Had to move room three times in 3 nights due to some issues.

The floor in the breakfast food area was very dirty your feet stuck to it -I raised it with reception on leaving -was told I noticed that a couple of days ago !! How long does it take to rectify ?? At £400- £600 a night v poor . Also at this price I do feel staff could bring tea and coffee to the table at breakfast - it’s not great carrying 2 cups hot tea pot etc and going back for fruit juice and then food . We got back to the bar after 11pm and it was closed again poor for £400/£600 room The hotel room was immaculate , comfortable and beautiful air con , great location .

Perfect overnight stay! 5/5

We stayed at Malmaison Edinburgh City during August for the Fringe Festival, and it was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, with warm, friendly service and thoughtful touches that made us feel truly valued as guests. The hotel itself is stylish, comfortable, and in a fantastic location, ideal for exploring the festival while still being able to retreat to a calm, relaxing space at the end of the day. Our room was spotless, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. From check-in to check-out, everything was seamless. The little extras and attention to detail really set this place apart. We couldn’t have asked for a better base during the Fringe and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

Loved it!

This was a wonderful hotel, totally redone 6 years ago, so everything was brand new and spotless. Our room was a generous size, and with an especially nice bathroom. We loved the location, right on lovely St. Andrew's Square, just 5 minutes walk from the National Galleries and tram stop for the airport, and just 10 minutes walk from the Royal Mile. The staff were super friendly and helpful, including assisting us with tracking down luggage that SAS had left in Copenhagen. The in-house restaurant was lovely too.
