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.”

Great value, centrally located dog friendly hotel.
We like Malmaison. Comfortable hotels that allow dogs and are in great locations. Lovely staff and great breakfasts. The Glasgow one was no exception. They even gave our dog a sausage for breakfast. She was delighted!
Our room was very warm. Despite help from the front desk staff our AC turned itself off in the night and we were sleeping on top of the covers in December.

Good overall
Good location for the city, staff were very friendly, and the bed was comfortable.
The room felt very cramped, badly lit, and a bit tired. We booked a basic room but some more breathing space would have been welcome. It did feel like the room hadn't had a refurb for a while. We expected it to be a tad more impressive given the price and the hotel's reputation.

great room great staff great ambience
I didn't like my initial room - feng shui was wrong - they upgraded me free of charge without question - lovely staff
it rained - maybe they could get some sort of cover for the smoking area - but that's pushing it

Renovate the floorboards. Otherwise, flawless stay. Reception and staff are all lovely.
Absolutely, almost everything
The creaky floorboards in that room are absolutely beyond words, and it is the only issue I could possibly pick up regarding my stay - otherwise absolutely 100% perfect.

Nice stay, restraunt made up for the disappointing room.
Stayed in the signature suite and the room was huge and the bed was very comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were both excellent. Our server fir Dinner was superb cery friendly and attentive.
The signature suite has a large lounge area that's not very well decorated (did not feel luxurious at all for the money paid) and the sofa looks like you could catch something from it. Its actually a disgrace. So worn out and stains on it. The management team should be embarrassed that its in their signature suite. So disappointing as overall it does not feel luxurious. Room cleanliness was ok. Just not what you expect from a malmaison.

ok but not worth the money.
Room was clean. Breakfast was great
Room was fine, however a couple of points that would have improved it; - Head board reduced the size of the bed, if the bed was spaced off the wall by 100mm it would have a been set correctly. as it is the bed is 100mm too short. my feet hung out of the bed - fix the bathroom extractor fan. it does not work - windows are screwed shut?

Adequate.
It was clean. There was a kettle, iron & board. The bed was comfortable & bed linen of a good quality. The bar staff were the friendliest by far… at least they chatted back!
I always considered Malmaison a luxury brand. Unfortunately that wasn’t our experience this time. The toiletries have been pared back, no ‘frills’ as such in the room. I’d prefer space between twin beds. When staying with a friend don’t necessarily want to be bed to bed. Our room was right beside the service lift so it was noisy. The reception staff made no effort to welcome us; simply checked us in. No chat at all. Neither did any member of staff speak when we passed. No enquiry about our stay or anything that they could do for us. We asked for some milk for tea…. that seemed a bit of an inconvenience to them.

You didn't get complimentary tea/coffee/milk to use along side the kettle.

Great boutique hotel with even greater breakfast
Great little hotel with nice staff. Very cool style and a great bar to grab a first drink in the evening. The breakfast is also very good as it features high quality products on their buffet in addition to the made to order items which come lovely decorated and are absolutely delicious.

Comfortable Room, Wonderful Dining Experience
Fantastic staff, especially the restaurant team. I believe her name was Katerina, she looked after us beautifully at dinner time and is clearly a very experienced and valued member of your team 😊 Room was stylish and comfortable too.
Room was rather hot and being able to open a window a little further would have been appreciated, but we're also respectful of safety rules in such properties.

Friendly, helpful front desk staff. Did not use the bar or restaurant facilities nor did I have the breakfast. The bed was extremely comfortable and the linen was fresh.
Room had very dark decor (which I understand is typical of the Malmaison vibe) which I didn’t like. Could not find any air con but fortunately I was able to open a window, otherwise the room would have been very claustrophobic.
