Expert reviews
“This former church is a longtime favourite for its decadent decor and plush lines. Stylish rooms with mood lighting have a dark, brooding tone and opulent furnishings.”
“Nothing orthodox about this former Greek Orthodox Church, transformed into a stylish modern boutique hotel in a city centre location. There’s a lively lounge bar, excellent brasserie dining and a casual bar.”

really good and we would stay here again and recommend to others
The staff were great, really friendly, helpful and professional, the breakfast was exceptional. The building is beautiful.
The room was missing a few little things like water, slippers and the soaps / shower gels were not of a great quality, lets the otherwise great hotel down a little bit.

Very pleasant stay and I would recommend the hotel to others.
We didn't have breakfast. We liked the offer to trade the room being cleaned for a drink at the bar. One or two things in the room didn't work as well as the might (the extractor fan in the bathroom and the towel rail). My wife liked the bed but I found the pillows too soft and thin.
Pillow choice. Bed felt a little short though that may be my imagination :-)

A beautiful building from the outside and quirky on the inside. Great bar area and lovely brasserie.
No bottled water in the room. Most hotels supply water in room. But apart from that it was good. The rooms are a little dark even with light.

Enjoyable, comfortable overnighter. Wouldn't hesitate to stay longer next time.
Great location, reception staff were very friendly but not in your face about it. Room was very comfortable, and it might not seem much but there was a bath! Will definitely be back.
Nothing comes to mind.

Relaxing and clean place and very friendly staff
Love the interior of the place so different to the Edinburgh one and staff go above and beyond and are very knowledgeable aswell. The food is amazing and worth having while u stay,lovely continental breakfast and a wide range to choose from
The only few issues I had with the room was shower would go cold from time to time and not enough shelving or cupboard space for clothes and the smell of pee in toilet now n again aswell we did have a small standard room but has potential for more space for clothes

Cold inside. I had to turn the radiator on in the room, and the bathroom didn't warm up. Wardrobe poorly designed and filled with extraneous stuff, little room for clothes.

Over all lovely hotel, would stay again!
Rooms where spacious, beds where comfy, bar staff where friendly& helpful.
Windows didn’t open, room got quite hot and stuffy very fast, no fan or air con supplied, couldn’t find a fan distracter for shower which made the full room steamy and very hot after a shower. First time staying left the building for fresh air at 11pm didn’t know it was key card access and staff was speaking to me through door wouldn’t open door for me until I told him my name and room number.

Cosy, luxurious. Would stay again.
Quirky building- really unique. Lovely cosy room, bath was deep and boiling hot. Great offer where instead of having the room cleaned, you could have a free drink at the bar instead, which is a great idea- especially from an environmental perspective. The bar was cosy with a good range of drinks.
Parking at the multi-story was expensive.

Great location, very clean hotel, great staff.
Great location, clean hotel. Got upgraded to a club room on arrival. The old girl is looking a bit worn but it was exceptionally clean and the staff were great!
Discovering Scalding hot water running through both the cold and hot water taps was a bit of a shock but staff dealt with it appropriately.

Beautiful small hotel with lovely staff and classy bar.
Gorgeous boutique-feel hotel in quieter area near the heart of the city. Staff were perfect. Beds very comfortable. The bar had a lovely relaxed atmosphere and wasn't busy or loud (during a trip Jan/Feb) and served superb cocktails. House toiletries lovely. Everything looked well maintained. We could opt out of daily towel-refresh to be a little more eco-friendly (and receive a benefit - I'll leave that one to be a nice surprise for you). Tea making facilities in room. Prices in Jan/Feb weren't hugely different to other city hotels - so booking Malmaison was an easy choice. Top tip: shop around online for parking about 10min walk South near motorway.
No extractor fan in en suite, leaving the mirrors foggy. Even with cooler Jan/Feb weather, on our second night the room was a bit warmer overnight than I'd have liked. No decaf teabags with tea making facilities.

nice hotel
ideal location to attend event in glasgow city centre, really clean, staff very friendly and attentive. quiet, good facilities
not enough pillows, one pillow isn't enough on the bed, our bathroom door needed forcing shut or it just popped open. the aesthetic of malmasion is dark and trendy - and it is nice but we joked our bedroom looked like a teenage boys because of the dark walls with graffiti art on the walls!

A pleasant stay. Good value for money, comfortable.
The bed was very comfortable and the shower was good. Very clean. Good selection of teas and coffees. Good room service.
No lamps in the room, only a main light worked which was a pain in the evening when we were relaxing. Other than that, all good.

Mal has great character and charm, the building and rooms interesting it was nice to be back
Friendly and attentive receptionist at check in, held bags while we parked and arranged a later check out after discovering our plans for the next day - wonderfully comfortable and cozy room
Bar man was abrupt, very quite bar but no conversation or offer for an alternative to a requested drink that wasn’t on the menu granted but it is a cocktail making bar! disappointed Room was also showing some wear and tear, bathroom extraction fan not working and paint surrounding it badly chipped and flaking off. Better attention to dusting and a little maintenance is required to the room to warrant the usual price tag but as it was Jan discount happily overlooked

Perfect post Christmas break
Enjoyed our recent stay the hotel felt relaxed and calm which suited us following the Christmas hype! Staff friendly and helpful. Dinner and breakfast was very good.
Parking costs! The bedroom carpet wasn’t as clean and tidy as the rest of the room and hotel facilities, felt like it needed a good vacuum.

Lovely overnight stay
We had a lovely overnight stay in this beautiful old building. The staff were absolutely lovely. Dinner and breakfast in the restaurant were great and the cocktails were very good. Huge room. Nice and quiet.
The sink was very slow to drain and the bathroom could generally do with a bit of maintenance.
