Loved by Malmaison Edinburgh City guests
"We knew the location but was worried about noise. We'd stayed in other hotels and early morning noise from bin men was always a problem. Not this time, thank you, so much."
"The tram comes directly from the airport to St. Andrews Square too..very convenient."
"We loved the all inclusive deal: Room plus dinner menu and breakfast menu in one package."

The room felt quite dark. the main ceiling lights weren't working properly. also, i was hoping for a higher floor, but i got a room below reception. This was a bit disappointing. it seemed like i had to keep the curtains closed all the time to keep the room private, and it made the room even darker.

I enjoyed the hotel's central location. I found it easy to reach the railway and bus stations. The hotel was also a short walk from Princes Street and George Street. The shower in my room was lovely. I appreciated that breakfast was plentiful and brought to the table. There were many options available at the buffet, including fresh juice and croissants.
The lighting design could be improved. The rooms were a bit dark. It was difficult to do my hair and makeup in the low light.

The location was great for exploring. Staff were excellent.
My room was dark, like a dormouse habitat. Applying make-up was a joke because proper lighting was absent in both the bedroom and bathroom.

the lighting in the room was very poor. there was no central light in the bedroom or bathroom. i had to use my phone's torch to read the menu, a situation i found inconvenient.

I was frustrated that the main ceiling lights in my room did not work. This made the room very dark. Even worse, I had requested a room on floors 5 or 7, but I was given a room below reception. The room decor was poor, and I had to keep the curtains closed to maintain privacy from people on the main floors. This made an already dark room even darker. WHAT A DISASTER!!!
