What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We had the whole experience, staying for the night, having tea at the brasserie and then drinks at the bar and the whole experience was exceptional. The rooms are bold and cosy with a quiet air-con. We didn't find the pillows comfortable is the only thing of negative note, but over all we loved our stay and would defo return. The waitress at the restaurant was spectacular and made my partner's birthday even more special. Delicious food and tender. The bar was small and cosy as well, with comfortable seats by the window and a good selection of whiskeys.”
“Enjoyed a lovely one night stay here. We got dinner, bed and breakfast for a great price. Staff were fantastic it's a great location of like us you're seeing an event at the playhouse, or even as a base for exploring Edinburgh.”
“My family and I went to Malmaison City Brasserie for dinner on 28.04.2026 to celebrate a special occasion. We had never been to this restaurant before and we are glad we chose to dine here. The service was exceptional, from beginning to end of our dinner, as it is truly seen that the staff at the Brasserie genuinely care about their guests. We had been served by Morgan, Brasserie Manager, who showed us outstanding knowledge of food and drinks, and ensured, throughout out meal, that we were having an amazing experience. Atmosphere was beautiful and really, we could not have wished for more. We will definitely be back and thank you again for a great evening and making us feel like VIP’s.”
