The hotel rooms were incredibly comfortable with thoughtful amenities and a close proximity to nearby attractions. However, noise from outside air conditioning units affected my sleep quality. The service was friendly and accommodating, particularly the reception staff. The hotel's location was excellent for exploring the city and dining options. Despite a disappointing dining experience, the hotel offered good value for money. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel had a nice and secluded landing with clean rooms that sported a bath and a shower, robe, slippers, and free water. However, the overall experience was a bit disappointing for a prestigious hotel in Malmaison Edinburgh, especially with the dim lighting.

The location is brilliant for exploring the bohemian side of Edinburgh, with easy access to pub grub and a beautiful Quayside. However, it's a bit far from the center and comes with a hefty price tag.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. While the rooms weren't as trendy as some I've seen, they were still cozy and well-equipped, albeit a bit small for a double room. The beds were fantastic and the facilities top-notch, which was a major plus. However, the pricing could be more generous.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. On the bright side, the location was great with nice local eateries nearby, but it was a bit overshadowed by noise and lack of natural light in the room. The service was exceptional and helpful, making my stay more convenient. The dining options were good, but the early closure on Sundays was a downside.

The hotel had a mixed experience with a clean but noisy room, surprisingly noisy in the morning due to nearby factories, and a challenging service that lacked friendliness. The location, albeit needing renovation, was convenient with easy access to eateries and transport. The dining experience left more to be desired in terms of value for money.

The hotel is located down near the Port of Leith, away from the hustle and bustle of Central Edinburgh. The rooms are decorated to a high standard with great facilities and a good choice for breakfast, offering a view of the harbour. However, the dining experience can be hit and miss with long waits and limited availability. The service, though, is top-notch, and the staff handle situations professionally. The location is brilliant, especially when the easterly winds are not blowing, despite being a bit tired looking and affected by roadworks. The price may be a concern for some due to the indulgent pastry prices and not ideal breakfast service.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The room was spacious and had an amazing view, but the initial cold and the need for an extra heater that kept cutting out were inconvenient. The service was excellent and the staff were charming and helpful, but there were also encounters with some unfriendly employees. The location was ideal for my event and exploring the Leith shore area, despite being a bit away from the city center. The dining experience was mostly good, with some exceptions. Overall, a stay with both positive and negative aspects.

The hotel had a beautiful view of a brick wall from my room, which was spacious and clean, but I expected more for the money. The service was lovely and very helpful, especially as we were arriving late in the evening. The location was great, just a few yards from 2 Michelin-starred restaurants, and the breakfast was included but cooked options were extra. The dining experience was not as good as expected.

The hotel is situated in a lovely quiet area, close to bars and restaurants, and offers on-site parking. The rooms are clean and a good size, but I faced issues with poor shower water pressure during peak times. The service was friendly, but there were some mistakes with the breakfast order. The location is convenient for some restaurants and the royal yacht Brittany, although road works made transportation challenging. The dining experience was a treat at Mimi's Bakehouse nearby.

The hotel and booking process were okay, but not worth the high price. The rooms need decoration, especially because they lack net curtains.

The dining was good, but disappointed that it couldn't be brought to the room. The cost was relatively high for the dining experience.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were lovely, spacious, and very clean, providing great comfort during my stay. However, the dark decor wasn't quite to my taste, as it gave a slightly dim ambiance in the room. The service was top-notch, with the evening brass staff and reception team being exceptionally polite and helpful. The location was fabulous, offering easy access to the city center despite lacking a good view from my room.
