I had a somewhat mixed experience at Malmaison Aberdeen. While the hospitality was very good, and I appreciated the sanitization measures in place, I encountered some issues with the room cleanliness and maintenance. Overall, I enjoyed my time but felt disappointed by a few aspects that could use improvement.

The hotel's facilities were generally good, but I would have appreciated more plug sockets near the bed. The lack of a mirror for grooming was also a minor inconvenience.

I had a mixed experience at Malmaison Aberdeen. While the luxurious spa treatments and attentive staff definitely stood out, I found some aspects of my stay less impressive, like the afternoon tea which felt overpriced for what it offered. The location was good for exploring the area, but there were a few logistical issues that needed improvement, such as the parking situation.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at Malmaison Aberdeen. While the unique interior design caught my eye and the comfort of the food was decent, the service left much to be desired. I faced issues with slow service and miscommunication during meal orders, which detracted from an otherwise pleasant experience. I genuinely hope they can improve their service management for future visits. 😕

I had a mixed experience at Malmaison Aberdeen. On one hand, the dining and bar options were solid, with some delicious meals. However, the service was hit-or-miss, and the rooms felt a bit worn down. Overall, there were some positives, but my stay didn't meet the luxury expectations.

Rooms

The room was nice but starting to look a bit tired around the edges. I noticed some fluff on the floor and visible dust, which wasn't great. Also, the lighting was poor and I had issues with the slow-draining sink.
Service

The staff ranged from friendly to rather blunt. I had to wait a long time for service, especially at breakfast. It felt like they were a bit complacent and not focused on guest satisfaction.
Location

The location was decent for exploring the city, but the ground floor rooms had zero privacy due to nearby foot traffic. I had to keep the curtains closed the whole time, not ideal at all.
Dining

Dinner in the brasserie was pretty good, with a nice selection of dishes, especially the T-bone steak. However, the breakfast wasn't up to par and the service was annoyingly slow.
