The hotel was excellent, it was really modern and well located. The rooms were very clean and comfortable (we had a courtyard facing room which was also very quiet). The reception staff were very friendly, helpful and had excellent local knowledge. The choice and quality of breakfast was exceptional and again, the staff were very pleasant and helpful.
Prior to our stay, we couldn’t find any information on the hotel website regarding car parking, so paid £9 to park opposite the hotel for about 5 minutes while we checked in. We then found out that and the hotel has an arrangement with the St James shopping centre car park, and they offer a large is discount for hotel customers.

Very friendly and efficient staff at check in. We arrived at about 12:30, expecting to leave our bags and return at 15:00 to check into our room but our room was ready so we were able to check in earlier. We booked for two nights and a nice touch was offering us a drink at the bar if we did not have our room serviced. We cannot comment upon the food as we did not eat in the hotel. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean with a lovely big bathroom. The hotel's location is excellent for shopping, sightseeing and has lots of dining options within easy walking distance. It's a short walk to the hotel from Waverly station and there is a tram stop within 100m of the hotel. Overall the hotel was great to stay in and is in a fantastic location, we will definitely return

Room was clean, bed was comfortable & the room was spacious.
Staff were really nice & attentive. Breakfast was ample & thoroughly enjoyable.
We will definitely be back for a visit. 😊
This boutique hotel has great decor, service and a wonderful central location near Princes Street Gardens. It was also quiet which we much appreciated. The continental breakfast was quite good (there was a cooked option too). We only ate dinner once at the restaurant as there were many options available in the area. The tram comes directly from the airport to St. Andrews Square too...very convenient. We would definintely stay at this hotel again.

Fantastic location in St. Andrew Square. Super comfy bed in a nice room let down only by the very dark decor in a north facing room.
We had a club room which was lovely and spacious ,nice well appointed bathroom too, hotel is in a excellent location for st James shopping centre and princess st, even old town and the castle is no more than a 15 minute walk, try the John Lewis sky top cafe/ restuarant in the shopping centre if you get the chance, good value and amazing views over Edinburgh and the bay, will definitely stay at the Malmaison hotel next visit
