Felt a bit lacking in service since it was a Monday-Tuesday stay, so maybe there was not the high tempo staff require to act quickly/with a smile/go the extra mile and without delay. Glasses in room were dirty, room feeling a bit cold and floor dirty. At breakfast not one staff member greeted and we could have been anyone that just walked in off the street- no one asked our room number, nor did they show us to a free table. There was no real connection with staff at all. I’ve always stayed there on a special occasion and have mentioned it at time of booking. In my experience that’s a hint for staff to do “that little extra” like put a chocolate in the room or at least ask if we’d like a drink in the bar to celebrate. Never had this here. Maybe third time lucky if we stay again...

Second stay, always appreciate the interior and design aspects. Breakfast choices are fabulous and not boring .

Stayed in February 2019

maybe the hotel could consider not to have loud lounge music playing at the same time as people are checking in. I myself found it very difficult to hear any information from the receptionist and felt like an idiot when asking her to repeat the information for the third time.

The hotel has a fantastic atmosphere. Cool interior and a lovely indoor courtyard. The room itself was lovely and the bed was great although I wouldn’t call it a king sized bed. Me and my husband has never slept closer except for my dorm room back in the days. Really close to everything with exceptional restaurants just around the corner. I will especially like to mention the fantastic vine bar just up the street from the hotel.

Stayed in February 2019

The hotel is geared towards the bar scene if needing anything in the evening it's very congested to get assistance. Also the restaurant is great for a high end meal but it doesn't cater for people who have been traveling who want simpler meals.

Very trendy with beautiful restaurant area.

Stayed in February 2019

A fantastic comfortable and cosy place in the middle of Malmö. The rooms were modern but with a twist, service was great and I would stay there any time again if I had the chance.

Stayed in January 2019

Nothing

Great location in the centre of Malmö and stylish design of interiors. Great atmosphere in the hotel thanks to staff and beautiful surroundings (patio is breathtaking). Breakfast was amazing with bar full of choice of local and contemporary specialties. The room was very quiet and overall we had a great stay !

Stayed in January 2019

The evening meals were very 'experimental', but delicious. Again, great atmosphere.

The hotel is unique, possibly quirky. It is individual. The bar and restaurant was positively hopping at lunch time and evening, yet not a sound in my room. Great atmosphere. A 10 minute walk to Central Station.

Stayed in November 2018

The gym facilities are very meager. I know they recommend to use a partner gym that is nearby and open 24 hours, but the thought of leaving the hotel dressed in workout clothes early in the morning in Winter is not such a feasible option.

The location is fantastic, right in the middle of the old town and right off the main squares, not to mention just a five minute walk from Central Station. The rooms are nice, the staff was nice, and breakfast was very good in the hotel's comfy atrium restaurant. Would definitely recommend the hotel and stay there again.

Stayed in November 2018

the eggs were indeed extra fluffy and the bed was very comfortable... Between the flamingos and the candy left under the bed for the monsters I was amused and surprised around every corner.

Stayed in October 2018

Can be little loud in the evenings when the bar gets busy. The reception can get a little chaotic given that there is no delineation between the check-in desk and the bar. The on site gym leaves a lot to be desired, however they do have an option to use a gym down the street

Beautiful hotel in the city centre close to almost everything. The rooms and decor were really nice (bathroom could use an update) and the bar and restaurant were really nice.

Stayed in October 2018

There was nothing I didn't like

Service. Staff were very friendly. They parked your car and collected the car after check out. Liked everything. The style of hotel was lovely too.

Stayed in September 2018

Cannot think of anything

We liked the location being close to the city centre. Our room was very comfortable and quiet. The ambience throughout the hotel was excellent.

Stayed in September 2018

The late lobby party from the first night (Saturday) and usually there is noise coming from surrounding streets. The menu isn't so kids friendly because it wasn't properly cooked for a 11 months baby, our daughter eats by herself but not "aldente" food. Even if the info cards mention that the breakfast could be served until 10.30 a.m in fact there was available until 10.

We liked the all concept, the design and interior terrace. The rooms are really large with comfy bed

Stayed in August 2018

Need shelves in the bathroom and one double duvet for the bed instead of two singles! Otherwise very comfortable.

The selection at breakfast was rea;;y fantastic so fresh breads, fruit, yogurts etc. The staff were very helpfull.

Stayed in August 2018

Nothing, everything was great

The hotel is very quirky and fancy. Our room was on the 4th floor and was amazing. Spacious, spotless clean, well designed, totally quiet and very comfortable. Breakfast was perfect with everything you could possibly want. Very polite staff as well. Good location for train station and center. Very good value for money. The Restaurant was also very good! Would love to come back and stay longer.

Stayed in August 2018

The room was slightly too warm, even with all the windows opened, and the bins were noisily emptied at 6.30am so not the best night's sleep.

The hotel was very quirky, with well designed spacious rooms and lots of interesting art and flamingo's dotted around. The indoor courtyard was bright & airy and the bar area was comfortable with good jazz music on arrival. My favorite part was the breakfast which had amazing hot & cold choices and the best freshly baked bread I've had in ages! Just a 5 minute walk from Malmo central station.

Stayed in August 2018

1. The noise on the side street in the morning at 6:00am. 2. When the garbage is picked up there is an unbelievable nasty Oder that penetrates the rooms on the size of hotel facing Hotel Elite. 3. No wash cloths / bath mittens to wash your body.

Love the uniqueness of the hotel— the mixture of Art Deco and modernity.; the quirkiness of the bar area was awesome. Staff is very attentive. The breakfast is truly wonderful and we looked forward to it every morning.

Stayed in August 2018

The room was not cleaned well and we ran out of body wash on the second day. The furniture was a bit worn-out which spoils the first impression

The breakfast was great. The hotel is located quite close to the central station and the city center. The staff is very helpful and friendly

Stayed in August 2018

Perfect location, close to both the central station and nice areas of the city centre. The breakfast was very good and served in a beautiful atrium. Even though my room was located close to the bar, and at street level, the room was quiet. Extremely comfortable bed!

The vibe of the hotel and the common areas were nice and chill. The decor was spot on and the breakfast simply perfect. The hotel was able to maintain its original beauty while incorporating a fresh modern feel. MJs added a unique flare to our stay in Malmö.

Breakfast and quality of produce used was excellent. Attentive service at breakfast. Bespoke vanity products and plush towels.

We asked to check in earlier, but the staff just laughed and said that perhaps we also would had to wait checking in at 15.00, as they were not sure our room would be available at 15.00...

Stayed in July 2018

I used to stay here all the time when it was under the previous owner. This was the best boutique hotel in Malmo and the service was impeccable. It has now changed into a nightclub wannabe with the reception being a bar, the decor taken too far and the noise levels and general commotion at the reception / restaurant area being way too much. The cost has been the service levels that are now downgraded. No business center and no willingness of the staff to even help with printing an important document. A guest in front of me, who had stayed the night with his wife wanted to leave his cabin sized bags behind until 6PM but the most the hotel could offer was to 3PM, and that was being kind he was told. Pity, but I guess some people will like this... not me however.

I like the location, which is right dead center of town with easy access to all. The bed linen are very comfortable and the extra large pillows are very nice as well. Breakfast was OK but too many people and not enough space where the food was actually served, made the whole experience a bit annoying.

Stayed in July 2018

That we couldn't stay longer

Location perfect for bars and restaurants The decor from House of Hackney is Fantastic Friendliness of staff helpful with recommendations and information. Bar staff let us try 3 different beers brewed by Mjs as we didn't like the first, couldn't do enough The area for breakfast and lunch is spectacular high glassed roof with climbing roses and curtain window give the effect of sitting in an outdoor courtyard.The breakfast have lots of choice and the bacon cooked to perfection. Our room 404 was beautifully decorated the bed the comfiest I've ever slept on.Tea and coffee in the room and a bottle of cava to welcome us for our Anniversary. One small dislike was the bath/shower as I am quite small it was hard to climb into but that's not their fault. Overall a fantastic stay in a beautiful hotel.If you have a choice stay here!

One thing - I was in room 218 and one night wanted to get to sleep early but u can hear the music going to about 12 or 1am - that can b off putting

It was so different - it oozed character and a place that made u feel at home

I had a room numbered “514”. I thought it was on the fifth floor; there is no fifth floor. It was in an attached building and was on the ground floor next to a road used by cars...and refuse trucks, as I found out one morning. I would have liked to have been informed at check in about the location.

Tiny toiletries and construction noise at 7am........

Comfy and perfect. Great atmosphere in the hotel and the decor is fun yet sophisticated. The restaurant was divine (dinner was fab) and the breakfast was wonderful too. The staff couldn't do enough to help us........valet parking too....what a delight of a break - really fabulous. Highly recommended.

Stayed in May 2018

The decor is a little lame - there's a weird soft porn photoshoot all over the walls in every room in an otherwise lovely old building - and the restaurant is one of those 'we recommend you buy three small dishes at 180kr each' places

The comfort level is really high, the breakfast was amazing, it's a lovely old hotel, people were great.

It's not easy to get into the garage, but one appreciate that a hotel in the center of a big city has a parking space at all (and my husband is a very good driver :)).

Excellent choice to discover the city, relax and have fun at the same time. After our first stay here we had high expectations and wasn't disappointed. Evereything was so cool as a year ago.

Stayed in November 2017

1) Music in the halls and at breakfast constant. & mainly too loud- felt assaultive first thing in the a.m. when I asked if it could be turned down- staff said " no"! 2) The light in the restaurant was too dim and the menus written in small font so hard to read; 3) Food was expensive and odd in its presentation. Small amounts that were mainly appropriate for starters was designed to be the main meal, with the intention apparently that,you would order several dishes. However the cost would have been $30 -$50 just for the several dishes- not including dessert etc. Highly stylized dishes, usually creative and unusual. However sometimes you also need some ordinary options- a stew, a bowl of soup or a small steak. I was at the hotel 10 days and ate there 5 times- tasty plate but not enough for dinner unless you spent a large amount.

Double doors for each room increased the quiet in the room; bed ,duvet, pillows were excellent; breakfast was great; staff friendly, pleasant and tried to be helpful.

Stayed in December 2017

Found it strange to enter the hotel from the street and immediately found myself in a busy and noisy bar/lounge. Had to wait to ask a member of staff behind the bar where reception was only to be informed the till at the end of the bar was the reception for check in. Not liking it is too strong, more unexpected surprise as never come across it before. However room very quiet so not intrusive. The only irritation was the lounge area was in the bar area so couldn't relax there.

Room very nice, clean, comfortable and quiet. Bonus was coffee making facilities in room. Restaurant very nice and breakfast very good.

Stayed in November 2017

Soap dispenser and trash can wasn't maintained properly. Hotel bar served no drinks.

The atmosphere in this hotel is absolutely magical. The dining area is super cozy and breakfast is what you'd expect from a hotel breakfast. Mini fridge in room provided interesting stuff and beds were great. Vanity kits provided were useful.

Stayed in November 2017

Hotel was located at the heart of Malmö old town. It was nice and clean and with well decorated interior. Room was spacious with stylish furnishing and with view to inner courtyard. Breakfast was tasty with lots of options also for vegans. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Can't think of any.

The hotel's location was excellent. Short walk from the main train station and right next to the little square. All spots of interest such as the castle were within short walking distance. The excellent Mando Steakhouse is a few minutes walk across the square. The hotel itself was quite groovy, with cozy and colourful decor. The room was spacious with a delightfully comfy bed. Breakfast in an atrium under a skylight was quite pleasant. The reception IS the bar - and it's quite a happening bar too. Staff were efficient, no fuss.

Stayed in October 2017

The breakfast did not live up to our expectations. Last time I visited Mäster Johan, it was a lot better. We came down to eat 9.30, and we felt like it was about to shot down. It looked messy and we had to ask for a lot of different stuff. Everything else was amazing about our stay, and we will defenetely come back!

Stayed in October 2017

The place has undergone a bit of a makeover since we visited six months earlier and now has a booming nightlife with a busy bar and people spilling out into the street. The rooms are quiet, nevertheless.

I had booked months in advance yet the room i was given was on the ground floor with a view of the alley. The person at reception said it was room 514 or something and i assumed it was a higher floor. They take you in a separate lift first from reception to first floor, there you change lifts , you have no clue you are going back to the ground floor. They did however change the room the next day at my request. The same day they didn't change the room as they were fully booked.

The room was very spacious and bed comfortable.

The hotel functions as a bar/disco in the evenings. The sound penetrates the room making sleep difficult, and a poor hotel choice for weary travellers. One of the staff was cold to the point of rudeness, we encountered her on both arrival and departure.

We arrived at 8.30pm and were told to wait for 10-minutes upon checked in for the staff to make sure that the room is ready. It did not give me a good feeling at all especially since we are checking in at night! Once we collected the keycard and entered our room, we were greeted by a dirty bathroom. The floor was extremely dirty with black stains all over the floor, it was so disgusting I gagged. The bathroom floor mat was grey and dirty and scrunched up. Awful.

Buffet breakfast was nice and the location of this hotel is good.

Stayed in July 2017

We had a small problem with our shower which spurted water all over the bathroom floor which meant it was slippery and dangerous when stepping out of it (you had to step over the edge of the bath and I can imagine that some less mobile people would have struggled with this). We let the staff know and they sent someone up straight away who changed the angle of the shower so it didn't wet the floor so much. The shower was the one thing that felt dated and in need of replacing.

The breakfast area was beautiful and the range of food options was great. The bread was delicious, there was always a range of different juices and the coffee was kept topped up. The room had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The temperature of the room was perfect and we were able to get an extra pillow on request. Everything was very clean and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was quiet and had wooden shutters to keep out the light too.
