Excellent breakfast - but what made our stay special were the incredible staff.
Have suggested that with a name like Malmaison there should be more roses in evidence.

Big room, great facilities and very comfy beds. Dropped star as the parking which is poor and no disabled atm due to works.

Great staff, great food. We had 2 suites and both rooms are looking particularly tired, especially the bathrooms. However, its in a great location!
Nice area next to the water and lots of eateries around. The hotel itself is typical Malmaison with quirky elements. The front house reception staff were lovely.
Check in was great, room 203 was looking onto a building and the room and bathroom was very tired but clean. Staff were excellent and friendly, breakfast was great and lots of choice.
Overnight visit to the city for shopping, dinner and a show, perfect location.
Staff friendly and welcoming, bed comfortable, shower hot and breakfast was great.
