Malmaison Leeds

Stayed here with 2 other couples- all in our 50s- a reunion of friends who had been at Leeds Uni. The hotel is quirky and fun but also comfortable and has all the facilities you would want. In my mind it’s always a good sign when it’s Taylor’s coffee bags and not Nescafe’ instant! All the staff we came across were so lovely, friendly, helpful and chatty- at reception and at the bar. The rooms were all very comfortable . We had drinks at the bar and they had a good range of drinks as well as cocktails. Breakfast was excellent- a great range of choices and the cooked breakfasts all cooked really well. Loved their sustainability option of choosing whether to have your room serviced daily or have a voucher for up to £7.50 per person for drinks in the bar/ donate it to charity. The hotel is also in a great location to easily walk into town. Recommend the water taxi that takes you from|the docks to the incredible Leeds Armouries (which is free!) Electric shuffleboard is a lot of fun and also great bar with range of drinks and cocktails. Salvos Italian restaurant on Headingly- still as good as when we went as students! Shopping in Leeds has so much choice including Harvey Nichols and a huge array of designer shops. All in all a great weekend venue. Thank you Malmaison

Stayed here over the weekend for a wedding, rooms were clean and needs met by kind cleaning staff. Cocktails in bar/lounge area were nice but not adequate staff so was long waits. Food was so disappointing and such a small menu!! So we had booked for a larger table the night before the wedding, I had ordered a burger which was dry and burnt, missing items and food taking an 1hour and 40 mins to even get to the table, dietary requirements completely over looked despite being discussed before! Poor customer service skills from a blonde haired ignorant waitress who completely disregarded complaints and sighed at the customers and walked off! such a shame as the hotel is lovely and in a great location but the food and service downstairs was awful.

We stayed here last Friday as we were taking in a concert at the arena, We chose this hotel specifically for the location, just a 15 min walk and close to the city centre. Easy to find when driving in and the car park booking (Q Parks) worked a treat, Check in was swift and easy, the room was ready 30 mins prior to check in which was a bonus. The upgraded room was nice, no problems with noise up on the 4th floor and the room facilities were as you would expect. Nothing flashy that blew your mind but it was a good size, very clean and a nice bathroom. Food wise we only ate Breakfast there and it was very good. I tried a bit of the chef's grenola and it was the best I have had anywhere, seriously. The full English was on point, a nice sized portion without going over the top. My only gripe would be the bar and breakfast area, it was too dark in there for my liking, I appreciate it's in the cellar so there wasn't much natural light but the decor was dark and drab too. It needs brightening up to put you in a good mood. Overall it was a great overnight stay, we go to Leeds often and we have stayed in numerous hotels but providing it remains competitively priced, it will be our go to hotel in the future

We visited earlier today and received a 5 star warm welcome with awesome hospitality by everyone we met. Book for a Sunday Lunch! You will not be disappointed. I had the chicken which was perfect and my husband had the beef which was so tasty! We didn't have much room left after for dessert so we decided on sorbet and ice cream. All excellent and a delight for the taste buds. Thanks Team Malmaison for a lovely sunday lunch!

I had a really positive experience at Malmaison Leeds this week. A special thank you to Zeinab at reception who checked me in. She noticed in conversation that I’ve just started a new role in Leeds and will be staying regularly, and without me even asking, she took the time to share future options for discounts and deals.||It was such a thoughtful touch and exactly the kind of balance of professionalism and friendliness you hope for after a long day. It genuinely set me up well for what was otherwise a challenging week of work.||Great service, and I’ll definitely be back. Team that with a nice room, good coffee and a couple biscuits. Is all I need from a hotel!

First class from the minute I arrived.....at reception, I was met by Molly & Michelle... good rapport.... room was OK, clean.. gd sleepable mattress 😴.... room with a view, curtesy of Zeinab - lovely young lady (maltesers)! 🙂 That was Mon 8/9/25.... |Tues 9/9/25... down at 07.50 for brekky- very busy.... Tia was very busy yet coped well, a credit to the chain.....(as we're you all). Menu was varied and good selection.....catering for all.. would it stay again!! - indeed, as this was my second stay....... and will be back.. thanks all

Stayed in a signature suite on level 2. Aircon wasn’t great stuck on 21! Anyway opened window bit noisy but it chilled the room. Very nice breakfast but on return to the room overpowering smell of raw sewage in the room / bathroom. Rung reception straight away to report waited around for bloke to investigate then just left as he hadn’t turned up. |Would return great breakfast as ever.

Beautiful rooms and very comfortable beds. Modern, clean and great bar downstairs. Staff helpful and polite. Would definitely stay again

The cheeky Depot Suite has a wicked 6ft plunge pool made for two, great Bose sound system and comfy sofas in the lounge. A nice big king bed on the bedroom. Not the biggest suite ever but packed with goodies ;)

Situated near the station and only a few minutes walk to the city centre, this Mal really has it all. The entrance is decadent and luxurious, really oozing the appeal it so claims to have. I was reluctant to give my bag over for storage as we couldn't check in (due to a previous horrible experience at the Manchester Deansgate Hilton where my make up and jewellery bag got swiped) but the girl behind the desk was reassuring and friendly, asking questions and giving us good advise on the best way to get into town and where to shop/eat. Upon returning the new man behind the desk recognised my mum instantly and had our key cards ready before we'd even reached him. Impeccable service. (This man alone deserves 5 stars as he recognised us when we were leaving as well, which always makes you feel important. I didn't catch a name but he was French [doesn't help in a hotel where they hire a lot of French people] and had more charm than you could shake a stick at, but he was never seedy, a balance that charming people don't always quite get right. Anyway, I digress.) One of the lifts was out of service, which knocked off half a star, and the room was really cold at times, taking off the other half. The room itself was lovely a good size with a great bathroom, lots of space for us to unpack and spread out. As mentioned we couldn't quite get to grips with the air con/heating system so we were a touch iced at times; maybe we were being slow or maybe their system is too complicated, you decide. The lifts speak French which threw us off completely on our first trip but was fun to imitate on other times. The surrounding area felt safe, maybe as it was the gay area and when you're two women it's nice to know that noone around you is interested, and it was an inviting and comfortable place to go back to in between our day and evening activities. Some great offers to be taken advantage of and a great experience all round.

Malmaison...famous for its naughty advertising ("Check out the Mrs...check in the Mistress") exudes decadence and encourages the flirtatious side of even the most prim and proper businessman. Large, self-indulgent rooms packed full of tempting tipples and nibbles & luxurious bathing products make Malmaison my number one hotel to stay & play in. Pop down to the Brasserie for a gorgeous meal and the wickedly delicious cocktail list - I recommend a Pornstar Martini - to get the party started before finally lying to rest in your grandiose room. Malmaison encourages secrets, flirtations, dalliances and liasons. What will your Mal secret be?

I only visited the restaurant area, but I'm sure the rest is very nice indeed!! But the restaurant area is very nice, and the service is very polite and professional. I ordered the rump steak which was the only steak to include chips, as others were separately ordered. I had the luxury of using the hi-life card, but in these cases, it's well worth it, being 2 for 1 on courses. My steak was nicely cooked, and my preferred fries as the accompaniment to my steaks, which came in a little basket. The interior is nicely furnished too, so offering its guests a fine dining experience and its location is conveniently situated close to the train station. Next time would be great to stay in the hotel, and visit the city!!

I had high hopes for Malmaison and I have to admit to being a bit disappointed. Having paid £145 for a spacious superior room for one night, I was hoping for a bit of luxury. And whilst the room was indeed spacious, I felt the service a little lacking and certainly not value for money. Despite the check in time of 2pm, our room was still not ready when we arrived at 4pm. When we finally got to our room, a member of staff was in there chatting on the phone. The room itself was clean and very nicely decorated, although the light switches took a bit of working out (in odd locations). The air conditioning kept switching itself off also. Whilst we were settling in, another member of staff walked into our room without knocking or any other warning - just as well we were fully clothed! Our room was overlooking the street to the side of the hotel and as it was a Saturday night, was quite noisy. I ended up putting ear plugs in to sleep. We had been promised bathrobes in the room, these were missing. The bed was a little hard but the pillows are divine. The hotel seemed busy, but I really felt that the personal attention mentioned by other reviewers was sadly lacking on this occasion. Whilst the accommodation itself is fine, the service needs to be improved before I'll return.

Malmaison is only a few minutes walk from the Headrow and Briggate area of Leeds but it does feel worlds apart. It is so pretty inside, but every single time I have been there it has been so quiet, that it has been totally devoid of any atmosphere. The food is nice, and the staff are too, but it's really strange having dinner somewhere so very quiet, you feel like all eyes are on you! I'm sure it gets busier round christmas and new years time but wow, it is sooo not that busy the rest of the year. Maybe it is the lack of free parking or the extortionate cost of the hotel rooms - it's cheaper to stay in the Hilton and that's saying something. Basically if I could get 50 people to go there all at once we'd have a great time. But I can't recommend that 2 people go there because I don't think they'd have a nice time. So it's a strange dilemma for Malmaison - maybe if they dropped their prices a little or advertised more they'd be popular.

I have visited Malmaison a few times for a drink in their bar, so I am rating the place on this and not necessarily the hotel or restaurant. Malmaison is pretty luxurious - I dread to see how much it would cost to stay over! The lighting is soft, and so are the furnishings. It's a great place to meet for a drink after work or to hold a meeting. The prices are at the higher end; expect to pay £3 for a pint of lager, but I suppose the atmosphere makes up. The bar itself is hidden away down some steps when you enter the building, creating a cosy area to relax with friends.

The Mal is a fair class act. Bit better than the Radisson, bit more consistent than Quebecs. It has incredibly dark, comfortable rooms, that are mostly purple, but stylish. The pillows are awesome, I always wanted to steal one.

By Farrr, my favourite chain of Hotels. Leeds Branch was rrright in the thick of it. I should have realised when reception asked me if I wanted a large room, or a quiet room. It being a thursday night, some of the rooms face the pub across the road, but to be honest I didn't hear any of it. These hotels are the epitome of style, and I will always return to them.

A lovely hotel in a good location - the resturant is fantastic, really good food and I was suprized as it was really good value too! The rooms are lovely but pricey, but a nice place to stay for a treat! Parking is a bit of an issue too, but if you were going to Leeds by train it would be ideal!

A while back I had gone on a location recce and discovered the beautiful interiors of this very beautiful hotel right in the middle of a very bustling Leeds City Centre. I promised myself then, I will return as a guest to enjoy its unashamed luxury.
