Decent stay, just missing the finishing touches
Pros:

Great location, all round decent hotel. Beds were a bit hard but mostly ok. A couple of little details were missing which makes it 4 rather than 5 - all first world problems but when you travel a lot for business, you get used to the extras. No dressing gowns, no Nespresso machine in room, no conditioner or hand lotion in bathroom, evening room service menu is v limited. But overall it was a perfectly pleasant experience. Shout out to Cash on reception, genuinely lovely person!

Extremely Upsetting and Disappointed!
Pros:

Following a recent stay at Malmaison London from 5th March for two nights — a hotel I chose specifically because of previous excellent experiences at your Oxford and Reading locations — I was extremely shocked and distressed to receive an email from the Deputy Manager accusing us of damaging the room by soiling the bed linen. This was followed by a second email containing an invoice for £100.
I immediately called the hotel to dispute this accusation and followed up with a detailed email. In that message, I explained that we had not inspected the bedding upon arrival and were now extremely concerned that we may have slept on already-soiled linen. I also emphasised that I have worked in the property industry for over 30 years in both West London and the Home Counties, and I take great pride in treating other people’s property with the utmost respect. Had either my husband or I caused any damage whatsoever, we would have reported it to reception without hesitation.
I requested that my concerns be escalated to the Hotel Manager and asked for a response by the following day (9th March). As of now, I am still anxiously awaiting a reply, and I am increasingly upset by how this matter has been handled from the outset.
To make matters worse, upon checking my bank account, I discovered two separate debits of £240, in addition to the £100 ‘damage’ charge, followed by a single credit of £240. These unexplained transactions have raised even more serious concerns about the way Malmaison London is managing both customer service and guest accounts.
I am extremely disappointed that loyal returning customers are being treated in this manner. The handling of this situation has been unprofessional, distressing, and far below the standard I previously associated with the Malmaison brand.

Blessing in disguise
Pros:

Arrived for a surprise 60th which was just a few minutes’ walk away, so the location was perfect. I hadn’t mentioned that it was my birthday the following day, but Blessing on reception spotted it on my ID and quietly upgraded us without me saying a word. That level of attentiveness really stood out.

Blessing was also genuinely chatty and welcoming, not in a scripted way but in a way that made us feel properly looked after from the moment we walked in. It set the tone for the whole stay. Small touches like that make a big difference and are exactly why we’ll be booking with you again.
