Pros:

Staff, breakfast, style, location

Cons:

Room is a little tired. Looks good in photos but ip close there are aspects that dont match up to the branding of a boutique hotel. Also, the air con didnt go below 20 which is pretty warm.

Pros:

Nice location, venue and room.

Cons:

We were contact a number of times by the hotel giving good information about parking, checking in eg. We were also offered in the mail a 2 course for £35 deal. However, when at the hotel we’re told that there was no such deal. Even when we showed the staff the mails sent to us stating the deal!

Fantastic stay and make sure to meet Gregg working the bar!
Pros:

The room was fantastic and one of the best beds I've slept on. Gregg the polish lad working the bar really made the trip. Fantastic service from him and a good conversation.

Cons:

Room was a little unclean. Paint peeling and crumbling in the toilet, stain on one robe and little bits missed near the window.
Lightning was a little low but that might have just been je not knowing how to work the controls

Good location, Breakfast needs improving
Pros:

good location

Cons:

I was disappointed with the breakfast, I was pleased to see that the hotel cooked an individual breakfast which is in line with a premium brand like Malmaison. I order smoked salmon on scrambled eggs. the salmon was good but the eggs had been done in a microwave, so much so that there was very little flavour and you could still see the shape of h microwave bowl. There were only 3 people at breakfast. This was an opportunity to finish off a good experience but it was a disappointment , I left it and had some cereal

Ideal location but not a luxury hotel.
Pros:

Well located. The club rooms are large.

Cons:

It’s tired. The lights in my room were faulty. Doesn’t have the quality feel I’d associate with the Malmaison change. Fine for a night’s stay.
