My stay at Malmaison Glasgow had its ups and downs. The customer service was really good, with staff being friendly and attentive. However, I faced issues with noise from the bar area and the fire alarm going off at midnight, which disrupted my sleep. Overall, while I appreciated the service, the experience was marred by these disturbances.

I was really excited about my stay at Malmaison Glasgow, and while there were some highlights, a few aspects left me feeling underwhelmed. The hotel had a stylish vibe and a great location, but I encountered several maintenance issues that didn't quite align with the price. Overall, it was a decent experience, but there's room for improvement.

Rooms

I stayed in a Duplex Suite which was nice but had some maintenance issues like missing paint in the bathroom and a damaged shower seal causing water to leak everywhere. The wardrobe looked ancient, and it just didn't meet my expectations for the price.

While check-in felt a bit casual and lacked enthusiasm, the bar staff were really quick with our complimentary drinks which I appreciated. However, I had trouble connecting with reception when I needed to call, which was a bit frustrating.

Location

The location was a bonus-close to the city center and easy to get around. It's not in a heavy tourist area, which I liked, but that also meant I had a bit of a walk for some attractions.

I really wanted to enjoy the restaurant, but the experience was not great. Many menu items were sold out, and the food we did have was pretty uninspiring. It didn't live up to the hype I had heard, which was disappointing.

Facilities

The place itself is pretty stylish and has a unique character, but it was a bummer that there was only one lift for so many rooms. Plus, I ended up being charged for breakfast I didn't even have, which was not cool.
