The Malmaison needs a good shakit sees itself as a cool boutique hotel and that is furthest from the truth . Front line
Pros:

Only the location

Cons:

It felt tired and cheaply renovated …. It lacked style and integrity .
Reception staff were the opposite of welcoming - they were frosty and contributed to an unfriendly start to an indifferent experience

A modern hotel in a good location with excellent parking. A little expensive for what one got.
Pros:

The location was convenient to get to by car with parking right behind it. It was a quiet yet trendy location right beside the river. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable and it had a view of the bridges and windows that opened. A bottle of cold water was in the fridge which was nice. Air conditioning was good as was the on/off button for the towel rail in the bathroom. There were alternative options at all meals to cater for those with allergies. The staff were particularly careful to make sure individual needs were met.

Cons:

The bathroom lighting was dim and the mirror too far back from the sink to be able to see oneself shaving or putting in contact lenses. The toiletries were minimal, no body lotion. No earl grey tea option or hot chocolate or coffee machine in the room. Service in the restaurant was quite slow at times even when not busy. The price of food and drink was high. A 12.5% service charge was automatically added to the end of a meal.

It was an enjoyable city break in a central location.
Pros:

Room had excellent view over the Millenium Bridge although it was a little noisy on the quayside. It was large with interesting decor and great bathroom facilities. We appreciated the air conditioning as the weather was exceptionally hot. It was good to be able to walk to the key tourist spots.

Cons:

Although there was an excellent spread at breakfast with attentive staff we didn’t like the menu choice for lunch or dinner. My husband enjoyed the one evening meal we had in the restaurant but mine was poor. We found much better venues for the next two nights of our stay.
