Spent a week at the Malmaison. Location was fantastic. Walking distance to everything. Airport Tram stops 50 meters from the hotel. Hop On Hop Off bus stops directly out front. Room was comfortable if a bit small. Nice to have air conditioning and bathroom facilities were very nice. Breakfast was very good, though options were limited.
Comfortable stay with clean rooms. Great location and friendly staff. You will need to climb some steps with your luggage but otherwise it was as described.
Overall a fantastic stay in a great hotel. Food was fantastic and the location could not be better. Only slight negative was the hotel was quite dark (you might say ambient) and my wife has an eye condition (RP) which made it a little challenging. We'd still go back though, so guess that says it all.
I loved my stay at the Malmaison. My suite was quite spectacular and super clean and comfy. The hotel's location is perfect. Most of all though, as an older woman traveling solo, I appreciated very much the friendliness and thoughtfulness of the staff. They made me feel at home and cared about. Thank you.
Good location, excellent staff. Big problem is the light level overall and approach to lighting in the bathroom - - way too dim overall, and no direct light on bathroom mirrors. Can't see well enough to comb hair accurately, discern sock colors, etc. The other issue is the thermostat. Room was too hot, and when we tried to reduce the setting, the thermostat kept reverting to 22C.

Property is nice, great location. Staff was superb. Only negatives were that the room had very low lighting, and getting to our room requred many stairs getting to the elevator, we had a lot of luggage. Can't say enough about the staff, they were great
nice hotel. not good for wheelchairs due to multiple stairs in the old building. rooms have ac but the pillows were shocking. pancakes would a suitable description. nice breakfast option's and chic bar with loads of drink options. best feature for us was the location. ideal for a central base.
