Malmaison Manchester

Proximity to train station, great food and wide selection as well as reasonably priced drinks in the bar

The decor of the rooms is nice but my room (501) was slightly too small for the size of the bed although it has a good sized shower room.

The lifts are very slow and look a bit shabby and there is no parking so you can't stop outside and unload your luggage.

Central location, great decor, friendly staff

The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly and this seemed genuine as opposed to the stilted smiles staff seem trained to give at some other establishments

Due to ridiculous and constraining rules that the receptionist told us had been imposed by "The Management" the establishment seemed more like a concentration camp than a hotel. For instance, whilst we were waiting in reception to meet a friend we asked for a pot of tea for two.

Room was comfortable and clean. Continental breakfast was excellent. Staff were polite and chamring.

Coffee at breakfast was weak and no flavour. Food in the evening was stodgy with little available in terms of fresh vegetables and salad. Too much bread with everything. The first night I got woken up by a porter knocking on my door and then phoning me they had got the wrong room by mistake - I was very tired and fast asleep - they did not really apologise.

easy access to town and train station, good level of service, easy check in and out.

bit dark

The bed was fantastic and the facilities in the room were excellent.

I liked the bathroom, very modern and stylih with a great shower. I liked the down comforter and pillows with fresh white clothes.

I did not like the noise in my room (most likely from the elevator next to my room) that kept me awake all night long. When I asked at the reception for ear plugs they promised to send some but then never came. When I went an hour later to ask for them, they said they don"t have any but they did not want to tell me to not wake me.
