Great location but noise and comfort were compromised.
Pros:

Great location and nice to fave Nespresso in our room. Funky decor.

Cons:

Beds were super soft and the bedding was a bit smelly and wasn’t made properly..(sheets came out every night - they needed fitted sheets!)
Also the bar is super loud so we could hear the noise from our room at night which was annoying.
No hair conditioner or moisturizer provided.

We enjoyed our overnight stay and hope to return.
Pros:

Location and views over river Tyne bridges. Parking good in adjacent multi-story car park. ( top floor). Warm greeting from staff. Room excellent ( had an upgrade for £10.00 to junior suite on 7th floor). We only stayed one night and ate out with friends from another hotel so cannot comment on meals. Good value and would certainly stay there again.

Cons:

Decoration not to our liking. Too dark. Bathroom looked tired but had a shower and bath. Long trek from car to hotel if you have a lot of luggage.

Wonderful stay at Malmaison
Pros:

We were kindly upgraded to a suite. Being my husbands birthday, it was a lovely surprise. Dinner and breakfast was very good. The location is great on the Quay with parking right behind the hotel at an excellent rate for Newcastle.

Cons:

Personal preference would be for a bigger walk in shower.
The lighting in the room is very dark. I suppose a designer thing to give a moody atmosphere but makes things a bit tricky for shaving or applying makeup.

Lovely hotel, friendly Geordie staff that made you feel welcome. Would definitely stay again
Pros:

Room was ready when we arrived early, room was clean and the bed was comfy. Staff were friendly and helpful. The bar area was atmospheric and the staff were helpful and attentive

Cons:

No hooks in the hotel room is a common complaint I have for all hotels, if you want to hang a wet coat up you have to put it in the wardrobe
