“Extremely disappointed with this hotel”

Malmaison Hotel

2/3 found this review helpful

My husband and I were looking forward to a luxurious stay at this contemporary hotel after a week travelling around Scotland. We were initially given a room in the old building but asked for another room because the sash windows were broken and couldn't be opened. The second room, in the new building, had new windows which could easily be opened but unfortunately overlooked a busy street so had to be closed at night and although double-glazed, were not sealed properly so that it was very noisy. The rooms were uncomfortably hot as there was no air-conditioning. This was mentioned in a previous review which we had disregarded as, after all, this is Glasgow and we did not expect it to be hot at night.

The room and bathroom were nicely decorated but very small and without anything extra, e.g. robes, biscuits with the tea tray etc. Also, the bed was accessorised with wool cushions and a blanket which were musty and aggravated my asthma.

Having stayed in a fantastic hotel in Inverness (the Rocpool Reserve) and having had great expectations of the Malmaison chain, I was very disappointed and won't stay in one of their hotels again.

We stayed here for our anniversary and I can't enthuse about the place enough. My husband had arranged for champagne and flowers which were both there as requested on arrival. The flowers were beautiful and the champagne superb!

Great food, great staff and good accommodation. Will definitely use again.

“The best hotel in Glasgow by far”

Malmaison Hotel

Jun 6, 2006
10/11 found this review helpful

I stayed at Malmaison for 4 nights for a long weekend and must say that it is the best hotel I have ever stayed in when visiting Glasgow. I have tried various hotels as I travel to Glasgow around 5 times a year and will never go anywhere else.
The staff are very friendly and cater for your every need which is always a bonus point. I had my dinner on 2 occasions and also my lunch and never did I have to complain as the food was lovely and service was great.
My room was a standard double and you could easily have passed this off for a deluxe double as the quality is superb.
This hotel won 'Sexiest Hotel Of The Year' in Scotland this year and I can certainly see why.
As I am in the industry myself I would normally stay at a Radisson or Hilton but in Glasgow I wouldnt even give them the time of day.
My room cost me £135 per night but I know that there are special offers on nearer the time as my friend got one for the weekend after myself.
As for the meeting rooms I was not in them but I spoke to a bride & groom that were there and also some guys that were up for a golf weekend who had private dinners and they said it was a very nice meal and the rooms were lovely.
I hope this helps anyone that is planning on going to Glasgow for business or pleasure.
All in all the Malmaison is great value for money and I would reccommend this hotel to anyone.

“Comfortable hotel, a few minus points”

Malmaison Hotel

4 of 5 stars
Jersey, Great Britain
Apr 25, 2006
6/6 found this review helpful

Stayed here last month for 3 nights. My room was located in the old 'church' part of the building. It was quite small, very dark (you needed all the lights on) but well appointed and very clean. The bathroom was a bit small as well. Unfortunately my first night's sleep was disturbed by my next door neighbour deciding to have a party at 4am which didn't particularly go down well....

The first evening I called reception to ask what time breakfast ended and was told 11am. So when I went to breakfast the following day at 1030am I was rather disappointed when the serving staff told me that they had finished breakfast at 10am! The following day I made it at 0930am and enjoyed an excellent Scottish breakfast which was freshly prepared rather than as part of a hot buffet.

In conclusion I'm not put off trying another of the Malmaison hotels but i'd probably not return and stay at the Malmaison Glasgow again.

“Nice hotel and would stay again”

Malmaison Hotel

4 of 5 stars
London, UK

4/4 found this review helpful

I had a lovely stay at the Glasgow Malmaison recently for a romantic weekend away. The hotel is centrally situated about 10 mins walk to the main shopping area and the old church setting is very original.
On arrival we were greeted by a very helpful manager/receptionist and overall we found the staff to be quite friendly and helpful. We paid extra for a large king size which was on the top floor and from the other reviews it sounds like paying a little bit extra for the larger room is a good idea (However we would recommend ringing and checking on any weekend deals because we got a significant reduction by doing this compared to the rate on their website and also a deal with included breakfast).
The room we had was spacious and clean with a lovely bathroom and great decor. Having full size quality toiletries which you are instructed to take home is a nice touch too. (Only thing missing was bathrobes which I have had a similar types of hotels in the past and which would have been nice). Bed was huge and really really comfortable with nice quality bedding and duvets and lots of cushions and pillows. Had a great couple of nights sleep! Coffee/tea tray was great and had good quality products which I appreciated and I also liked the little card which allowed you to request a 1/4 pint of fresh milk instead. Breakfasts were of a good quality with a good range of options. We also ate in the restaurant one night and although not fantastic, the food was decent bistro type food and fine if you don't want to go too far. (My only gripe service wise was that we asked for a table in the restaurant at reception and the person could not have been less interested and told us nothing was available until very late. We later asked again in the restaurant itself and they were able to fit us in at a decent time straight away!).
We came by train so parking was not an issue for us but I can see it would be if you came by car.
Overall I would recommend this hotel as a quirky and comfortable hotel in which to spend a few days. We had a great time.
