Excellent service, great location, and the room was very comfortable. Victor checked us in and couldn't have been more helpful. He is a credit to the hotel.

Comfortable Stay at the Malmaison London
Pros:

Comfortable stay at the Malmaison in London. The lady at checkin was so friendly and helpful - the room was great and importantly for me - there was virtually no noise around me so slept well.

Pros:

Location.
The bed was very comfortable.
The staff were very helpful.
It was useful having a fridge in the room.

Cons:

Breakfast -the options weren't very healthy and it was difficult to get the food I requested. I asked for two grilled(half) tomatoes on toast and mushrooms. The waiter said I could do toast for myself, but changed his mind when he saw I wasn't impressed. I got half a grilled tomato and 1 leathery mushroom, on toast. The next day I asked for two grilled tomatoes on brown toast. I got one grilled tomato on white toast. I asked another waiter and he was very helpful and immediately got me another grilled tomato. On the third day it didn't seem worth the struggle and I just had cereals.
The adjustable free standing mirror at the desk in the bedroom didn't adjust; it just pointed at the ceiling, so was unusable until I found a way of wedging it with the coffee machine pod holder.
The room was grey, and quite dark and dour, not in a restful way.

Wonderful stay!
Pros:

We stayed at Malmaison for an anniversary celebration & it was fantastic! Comfy rooms, prime location for Fabric, and the team were so friendly & welcoming.
Kash went out of her way to make our stay special, she is truly lovely and could not have been nicer! We had such a laugh checking in with her, she was so friendly!
The hotel also organised a cute surprise for us in our room which was really thoughtful. Absolutely wonderful here, very much recommend & huge thanks to Kash!

Pros:

Violetta on reception was exceptional. She was extremely welcoming, attentive, professional and helpful. Although she must see dozens of people every day she made me feel highly valued as a customer and as an individual.
My room was lovely, so comfortable with a fabulous shower. I slept very well in the bed, very comfortable and lovely bed linen.
I will definitely return, it's my favourite hotel I have stayed at in London.

Cons:

The breakfast probably wasn't worth the money for me as I have a fairly small appetite. If you're a hearty eater it would be good value!

Overall good hotel for a short stay in London.
Pros:

Rooms are spacious. Staff is very friendly. Overall good facility. The beds were very comfortable!

Cons:

The rooms were far too hot. We couldn't sleep from the heat. We even asked for 2 fans which the staff brought to us right away, but they didn't help much.
