“I find the waterfront location in Leith particularly appealing, balancing proximity to Edinburgh's bustle with a calmer, village-like atmosphere and diverse dining options; the individually-designed rooms offer a boutique feel, though some may show their age. With its British-French dining and event spaces, this hotel could be an excellent choice for those seeking character outside the city center.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Malmaison Edinburgh from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Malmaison Edinburgh is often praised for its location, being both picturesque near the Water of Leith and conveniently close to a tram stop for easy access to the city center and airport. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, many featuring comfortable beds and well-equipped bathrooms, situated within a beautiful Victorian building. The breakfast buffet is considered decent, supplemented by the option to order hot dishes; some guests have, however, noted that the decor in certain rooms appears somewhat dated. Its proximity to the Royal Yacht Britannia and various restaurants adds to the overall appeal.

Decent Location, Issues with Room Quality

great locationbathroom mouldloud dripping
The location was good. It made getting around fairly easy (especially because the tram stop was really close).
The room was quite worn. The bathroom especially showed its age (I noticed mould in some spots!). an overnight dripping sound kept me awake for a while. It sounded like faulty guttering.

the staff was friendly and very helpful . the room was nice with unique decor and an amazing view of the water. i appreciated the hotel upgrade with a free bottle of prosecco and ice bucket.
the postcode in the sat nav took me to a private road, and this prevented easy access to the hotel.
