Staying only one night here, the main experience I have had is of dinner in the Smoak restaurant. Sat at the ill-concevied dropped bar, which has terrible lighting and uncomfortably reclined seats, the food was served too quickly and was terrible. The chicken caesar salad was under-seasoned and the lettuce limp, un-fresh and wet.The burger was again under-seasoned and over-cooked.... More

I stayed here for the second time this year and I was disapointed as to how the hotel had changed over such a short period. They had changed the lovely restaurant and bar to an American style grill which just wasn't as elegant or as nice and it was still the same price. I also felt when I stayed last... More

I stayed here last weekend and it was my first time staying in a malmaison hotel. I had heard about this chain and was looking forward to it. However I was very disappointed by the lack of service we received. On arriving we went to the bar for a few drinks. We were left waiting for about 15 minutes before... More

We eat at the restaurant which is part of the deal and the food was very good. The room we had was a standard double and although quite compact had everything that we needed.... More

We normally stay at The Lowry when we are in Manchester but decided to book the Mal for a change. That was a mistake.

You can't get anyone on the phone in this hotel. Room service takes many calls. Requests for things like having room made up and food trays removed take 3 attempts. You can wait FAR too long at the bar for a drink. Clearly they are understaffed. Beds are comfortable. Food is good. TV's horrible: tiny, no channels, no volume. Shower... More

Malmaison Manchester has a great location, easy walking distance to town. Hotel is funky if a little soul less. The restaurant was poor, the food was not good quality and sadly the service was also not very attentive - probably fine for a snack and quite a nice bar, but if you want a good evening meal probably better to...

Malmaison in Manchester is like all their others - a bloody good hotel, great sized rooms, good facilities, quirky furniture, dark coloured walls and great toiletries. Your even get real filter coffee in your room and big TV's. The last time I stayed here I brought my wife with me and they messed up our room booking - she said... More
