Disappointing
Pros:

Location was ok with available parking.

Cons:

The Shower faucet in the room was loose and faulty. The water temperature could not be maintained.
After reporting this to reception, the Hotel Manager visited my room, stood in my shower with her shoes on and then failed to fix the problem or offer an alternative room. She offered me a refund if I left the room and found alternative accommodation for the evening which was obviously not viable as we had tickets to a Theatre performance within 2 hours. On check out I was offered a 25% discount, which I declined and settled on a 50% reduction. The attitude of the Hotel Manager was rude and she basically made me feel as if I was overreacting and should accept these conditions.
Overall it spoilt the experience and I will not be staying at the hotel ever again.

Aangenaam hotel gelegen op een geweldige lokatie in het centrum van Londen
Pros:

Prima hotel op een geweldige lokatie- in een doodlopende straat met een aangenaam park vlak voor de deur. 2 metroconnecties liggen op wandelafstand. Ook in de buurt verschillende leuke bars en restaurants. Wij zijn fan van dit hotel! Personeel was vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Aangename kamers en ruime badkamers.

Cons:

Niets - alles was prima in orde!

Everything lived up to or exceeded our expection.
Pros:

The room was very clean, well equipped and spacious. The breakfast offered had lots of choice to suit everyone. The location was great for the Barbican Theatre and close to a tube station. Overall, we were highly delighted with the accommodation and hope to visit again in the near future.

Cons:

The surrounding area was a little run down in places but this is no reflection on the hotel with was excellent.

Viskas puiku
Pros:

Labai gera, saugi vieta. Arti metro stotys, iš kurių galima pasiekti lankytinas miesto vietas. Kambarys ne ypatingai didelis, bet jaukus ir patogus. Karštomis dienomis puikiai veikė oro kondicionierius. Registraturos darbuotojai malonūs.

Great hotel, food a serious let down
Pros:

We booked a deluxe suite for two nights. The room was spacious, clean and very well equipped with quslity bedfing, towels etc for a comfortable stay.
The staff were very pleasant although some seemed inexperienced but this did not detract from their willingness to be helpful.
Our breakfast exoerience was very good.

Cons:

We were visiting London for a specific purpose - Wimbledon Tennis Tournament & so intended to dine in the hotel for early nights sleep. My sister has stayed in this hotel previously on many occasions with work.
It disappoints me to say that the evening meal on both occasions was dreadful.
We opted for 'Steak Night'. The starter was ok. The steak was just adequate. We paid extra to upgrade to 'truffle & parmesan' fries.
These were clearly frozen fries burnt to a crisp - as I put my fork into them they literally splintered across the table. When brought to the waitresses attention she was very apologetic but said that the chef hadn't finished training! Yes, really!
On the following night we were late from our days activities & too tiired to go out, so decided to risk a pizza on room service. Again burnt to a crisp, dry, and clearly the lowest product quality.
It saddens me to give such a review to a brand that has been built on a solid reputation of quality over many years but the food served to us over the two days we stayed, clearly is a reputational risk and frankly just not good enough.
I intended to give feedback at reception on checking out but was not even asked how our stay had been & since i had a taxi waiting decided not to bother.
Sorry Malmaison, you have some serious issues to address if you want to maintain past standards & reputation.
