Malmaison Edinburgh

Received a voucher for Sunday lunch. Was absolutely gorgeous. Page served us and was wonderful. Next time I will stay there as the building is beautiful along with the surroundings.

On behalf of my parents Roberto and Marie Therese Tomei: “We visited today for Sunday Lunch and thoroughly enjoyed our experience! Food was excellent and staff were nice and attentive, particularly Hannah and Oonagh. We will definitely be back!”

What an absolute gem of a find! The food was fabulous, the service was fabulous, can’t thank Paige enough. She made us feel really welcome and couldn’t do enough for us. Might be back tomorrow. Can’t fault it in any way! Xx

Hotel was beautiful. Located about 2 miles from city centre, excellent tram route takes you a minute walk from hotel. Room was spacious and lovely view overlooking water. Breakfast was excellent (both quality and service). All the staff were helpful and friendly, especially Hannah would offered great advice on local restaurants. Overall lovely relaxing stay.

We had a lovely night away at Malmaison Edinburgh. The hotel is lovely and the staff friendly and very welcoming. The hotel has a great feel and decor and is easy to access - just round the corner from Port of Leith tram stop. We stayed in a Junior Suite and found the whole experience great value for money. A real highlight was the food both at dinner and breakfast. A great choice of food - for both meat eaters and vegetarian/vegan diets. For me, the highlight was the roasted beet starter. Compliments to the chef team this weekend of Vishal, Himal and Ray. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended for a short break or a base for a longer stay while exploring the city.

Staff explanation Breakfast staff Hanna, Andrew & Seban very good

Honestly do not recommend. The room is full of dust.

I’ve stayed with Malmaison and at this location a few times in the past, and whilst the team were welcoming and friendly, the rooms are a little tired. Pets are welcome to stay which is a big plus, but you pay a fair premium for the privilege, and as a solo traveller you’re already paying more to stay than you would as a couple for your room. Combined with a format that feels a bit tired I was left feeling it’s no longer worth the premium price tag. The food on this occasion was below par too. The evening meal in the bar area where service was friendly but slow and the food lacked flavour - garlic mushrooms with absolutely no garlic and sauces that were thin and bland. Wine selection is excellent and good value for money. Breakfast is served in the bar area for pet owners which means you can’t access the continental options or hot drinks. The cooked breakfast was also hit and miss - temperature of the food was tepid, bacon was dry and hard and no option for toast unless you can make it yourself in the restaurant. At over £400 for a 2 night stay I struggle to see it as value for money.

Me and my girlfriend were quite surprised to walk into the empty dining room come 6pm on valentines, however we quickly discovered the incredible quality of both the service and food as we were met with smile of our server Billie! The dining room quickly filled up over the next hour and the cocktails: passionfruit martini and Hugo spritz were amazing and well presented. The food was also incredible and I’d recommend anyone to try the truffle fries!!!

Had a lovely meal during our short stay in Edinburgh, I had the beef pasta main our waitress Paige recommended was to die for! Very polite and attentive service, will definitely be back!!
