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.”

Value for money good location comfy beds, very clean, very helpful and friendly staff.
Room was beautiful with large bed. Carpet a little dated and bathroom could do with updating a little. Overall very comfortable and pleasant stay
It felt quite dim and dark - difficult to find a spot throughout the hotel with good lighting

Very Pleasant and good value for the price I paid.
Nice Room, Should really have booked a Twin. Parking was on Street. Just had to Pay the Meter. Decoration Modern, Perhaps Dark. Glass Water bottles a nice touch instead of Plastic. Change from the Norm.
I didn't realise the parking was on street. But there are Muti Storey Car Parks within walking distance. All amenities are close by (Walking distance) for shopping and Tesco's etc close and open late as city centre shopping as are bars and restaurants. Easy access to roads heading North. Main Stadiums , Celtic Park and Ibrox not to far of a drive away too.

With improved lighting we would stay here again.
We loved the theme of this hotel - we enjoyed our breakfast it was plentiful - the staff were extremely pleasant & helpful - we had a very nice room with a comfortable bed… & there are plans to refurbish this property… with this in mind & once completed we would stay at Malmaison again.
We found the floor of our room noisy & sadly the room was too dark… this is noticed throughout the property & is part of the ambient feel that reflects the style that they were aiming for… However the dining room was far too dark, Our Dinner was okay but not worth the price paid… Once again the staff were amazing especially at reception - finally there was no parking close to the hotel.

Good location
Good location. Clean. Staff great and food was good too.
No facecloths in the bathroom. There were toiletries which were nice but no body lotion. I was travelling light and hoped to rely on what the hotel provided. No air conditioning just a fan which was REALLY noisy. Final thing, room was so dark which made it difficult to put make up on. I know it's in keeping with the decor but a mirror light would be good.

Lovely
I loved how friendly & clean the hotel was, our room was lovely
The only issue I had was the lack of air conditioning in our room, we had one small desk fan which kept making a rattling noise

Lovely hotel with stylish features and great staff
The hotel was lovely with excellent bar, restaurant. Food was good. Staff were all truly lovely and helpful. The room was really nice. Location rather lovely. Handy for walking to various places across the city.
It was hot and sunny in Glasgow during my stay (no offence Glaswegians), but this was unusual!!! So the room was hot and impossible to cool down. This meant I just couldn’t sleep. I’ve had this in all the uk hotels I stayed in this trip. A lighter summer duvet or just counterpane, a fan, and the potential to open windows more than a crack would really help as the climate heats up.

A conveniently located hotel that provides a great standard of service. It
It was a nice clean room with a comfortable bed and good pillows. I was pleased that a fridge was provided, even in a small space. The curtains were of good quality, blocking out light when needed. The decor was attractive and furnishings were high quality. Nice Arran bathroom products were provided.
I really needed a top sheet, as with the lovely weather I’ve experienced in Scotland, the cosy duvets were just too warm. I was worried that I would hear the lift throughout the night being right next to it, but it was not a problem.

An old favourite
Friendly bar man. Nice breakfast (once you work out where everything is).
There was quite a bit of noise from the outside bar terrace of the hotel next door. The large sash window of the bedroom was open at the top and I had quite a bit of bother getting it to close. The noise did subside later on though.

Lovely hotel in a quiet location.
The Malmaison was a lovely, comfortable hotel with all the amenities and was close to a number of restaurants.
It was a bit further from the train station than I'd calculated.

Can’t do enough for you x
Loved the building and the design of the rooms and of course the bar was fabulous
We had some noise in our room. But the reception staff sorted it out the staff are fantastic.

Comfortable beds, trendy bar and restaurant, and a great location for touring Glasgow.
Our room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel bar was a great spot to grab a drink after being out for the day, and the bar staff were friendly.
The staff at the front desk were pleasant, but there was room for some additional warmth and interaction.

Lack of facilities Kind of expensive for what we got

Nice hotel in Glasgow
The style and ambience of the hotel, the staff were nice, pleasant and helpful. It had a homely feeling and I can imagine it being cosy on a cold Scottish winter's night.
I forgot how steep the hill was 😀.

Overnight Glasgow
Location, restaurant on site. Bed was comfortable, staff were pleasant
Lighting in room was lacking, should be lamp, light over coffee area in club room instead of full room light required. Music in restaurant was a little heavy for dinner, but may have been a shared speaker with the bar?
10 August 2025
Enjoyed the stay, particularly the food. Good location.
Food very good both evening meal and breakfast. Common areas are looking a bit tired.
Decor needs updating.

Price of breakfast.

Stepped in to help at the last minute
We had to book somewhere in Glasgow City Centre that was dog-friendly at the last minute. Mamaison saved the day. The staff were helpful & friendly & both if us (& our dog Tracey) enjoyed our stay.
Our room view was of the hotel bottle bins...however, given the difficult circumstances thrust upon us, & our extremely last-minute booking, we were happy with how our trip turned out.

Lovely overnight stay
The reception staff were lovely and check in went very quickly. Lots of emails ahead of time to make it happen quickly. The room was lovely, clean and quiet. The toiletries were a pleasant bonus as I love the Arran Aromatics range.
The cost to have breakfast is outrageous even at such a nice hotel. We kept our money and went to a local cafe instead.

Nice vibe, but loud wooden floors
I liked that they provided a cot for the baby, even though he just slept in the big bed with us. The reception lent us a uk plug for free. The fridge was big enough for a few water and soda bottles. Nice and sizeable desk to work on a laptop. Very high ceiling, the room was nice and big. I liked the overall vibe of the room and the dark theme.
The floor is wooden so it creaks with every step and you can hear people walking around. The creaking is very loud. It was frustrating with a sleeping baby that naps during the day. I did not like the ceiling lights, it was a spotlight at the center of the room. The water temperature in the shower was not great, but it was fixed by a plumber later in our stay.

Restaurant was very average, staff didn't to like us for some reason. Linguine was small and not filling.

Lovely hotel, excellent reception staff. Location too far away from centre
Excellent reception staff, went above and beyond to help us with directions, transport links and recommendations for nails!
Male bar staff was rude when I asked a meal plain....he tutted as if this was too much hassle. Also refused to sell alcohol to my daughter (aged 18) unfortunately we did not bring her ID so this kind of ruined the evening so we went elsewhere.
23 July 2025
Great staff and location
Staff were lovely and the location was great
Too hot, even with the fan. I had expected air conditioning. The room was quite small, and the art was questionable. I'd go as far as saying one piece was disturbing. We didn't think it was great value for money, but for it's central location, maybe we were expecting too much. We had expected something smaller and more boutique.
22 July 2025
End of Scotland trip
Great location, lovely clean room, welcoming and helpful reception staff, stayed at many Malmaison, never disappointed.
Returned for a nightcap, ordered 2 Irish coffee after asking the bar keeper if she new how to make one, she said of course and asked us to sit down, it looked like she googled it and brought 2 x latte with Bushmills, absolutely terrible, we did show her a picture and told her how to make one and she did offer to get her supervisor but we declined and went to bed. Please just say no, if you can't make a drink

Excellent boutique hotel, spacious rooms
