The hype
Guests love the location and the friendly staff, but many feel the rooms are starting to look worn and dusty.
Malmaison Liverpool
$150-250 / đêm
Đặt phòng nếu You want a moody, industrial-chic vibe right on the Liverpool waterfront, steps from the Liver Building.
Tại Sao Mọi Người Yêu Thích Nó
- Stunning views of the River Mersey and Royal Liver Building from Club rooms
- The 'Gothic Manhattan' aesthetic that feels sexier than a standard chain hotel
- Location is unbeatable—quiet enough at the docks but a 10-minute walk to the city center
Tóm tắt nhanh: It’s got the signature Malmaison sex appeal, but the 'tired' rooms and aggressive air conditioning noise might kill the mood.
Được đánh giá bởi @travelcheapwithchloe: I honestly booked this for the location near the Docks, but the food deals blew me away. That Thursday steak offer is dangerous! The room was super moody and stylish, felt way more expensive than it was. Definitely my go-to spot in Liverpool now.

- Housekeeping: Generally good daily service, but frequent reports of dust on skirting boards and 'missed spots' in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Black tiles show limescale and water marks easily; grout is usually clean but some reports of slow drains causing buildup.
- Maintenance: Rooms are feeling 'tired'—scuffed furniture, peeling wallpaper in wardrobes, and worn carpets are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Towels are generally fluffy and clean; bedding is high quality but check pillows for firmness.
- Odors & scents: Usually smells of the signature Malmaison scent (figs/amber), but some rooms have a lingering musty or AC smell.
