Service for check in / out was quick and efficient. Location is good enough, guess that's relative. Room positives - Good size. Good selection of coffee / tea Room neutrals - No view in the room I was given (well a fire escape and half empty office space) Bed was fine. Room negatives - No bottled water offered Very dark even with every conceivable light on. Room temperature wouldn't go below 19c. The bathroom (specifically the bath/shower) had to be one of the worst designed I have ever seen. I am fully mobile and not big.. and it was touch and go if I was going to break something trying to get into the shower as was in the corner over the bath with a glass curtain that wouldn't open out meaning you have to attempt to hover over the baths side with nothing to hold onto into the bath end which wasn't flat (as it's the end) .. very dangerous imho. Also was then impossible to check the temperature of the taps for the bath without getting fully in due to them being out if reach in the corner...

We had a great stay down in Leeds. Celeste F who was extremely helpfully host and got us checked in early and very kindly gifted us a drinks voucher to celebrate a new job start in Leeds. She even went as far as recommending great local food spots. Hopefully when we are back we can stay in the same room 409 - great views 👌🏼

The food was good, very enjoyable indeed. As a catering manager I suggest that front of house needs some attention to detail. From D20 surface cleaner spray bottles and tissues on show to a floor that needs a good clean and polish, a lost desert order, lack of knowledge on what was no longer available and a space devoid of atmosphere. Our waiter handled the desert issue well and offered to comp them, which he did. Then offered us free coffee a few minutes later, which we declined. We overheard a number of comped dishes that evening which suggests our experience is regular and some tightening up is required in training and cleaning, and it’s time for decor overhaul to move away from a ‘food hall’ atmosphere. For £170 for two it’s about more than just the food and whether they can cook a steak or not split a crème brûlée. Food was great, but we won’t be returning.

Hotel room was a good size, nice and clean. Didn't look tired. Breakfast was very nice in the morning, big thumbs up. Only issue was that due to the location it was really noisy at night. The staff did say that the other end of the hotel is much quieter if you actually want to sleep 🤷🏻♂️ probably good if you didn't go on a Friday or Saturday.

Went to the bar for one drink after a meal across the road. One beer and a wine £17 which is quite expensive and to top it off we had to wait an extra ten minutes for the wine as non was open/available for some strange reason? The thing which topped it off was people sat drinking beer and selling websites on the phone. Get an office. Very loud with no consideration for anyone else

I recently visited malmaison for afternoon tea with my family. Considering the reviews we had high expectations. When we arrived the staff were nowhere to be seen and we had to look for somebody to be seated. We did have a booking so they were expecting us. We were the only people in the restaurant as it was a quiet mid week afternoon. Food arrived immediately before we’d even received our drinks, after this point we didn’t have any contact from the staff unless we went to find them. We noticed 4 different staff members in the time we were there so they definitely weren’t short staffed. We were sat near the door to the kitchen and could hear staff members continuously laughing. Which is great except none of them were front of house or visible. We had to knock on the door to ask for takeaway boxes, which then took 15 minutes to come out of the door (where the continuous chatting was coming from). We then asked for the bill which again took a long time to come. Once the woman brought over the bill with the card reader she placed it on the table and again disappeared. We waited again around 5 minutes and noticed the staff member wasn’t coming back. We paid and left, again no member of staff to be found. At this point all staff were in the back unaware of whether we had paid or not. We genuinely left quite astonished at the service or lack of. As this was a birthday present for family members I left feeling quite embarrassed that I had picked somewhere so shocking. It’s a real shame we had such a poor experience - I definitely wouldn’t recommend based on this.

The bar and grill were wonderful. We enjoyed some great cocktails before dinner. The drinks were lovely and the atmosphere was great too. We then had dinner in the grill. Molly was so attentive, made some brilliant suggestions from the menu, which we actually chose. Her suggestions were great, especially the salmon. It was great to have someone else choose! We also asked for suggestions for wine too and we had a quick taste before choosing which made all the difference. A thoroughly enjoyable meal. Thanks Molly!

I selected this venue for my 60th birthday party for family & friends. Great venue & so easily accessible. Booked the first floor room for 50 / 60 people, with access to own toilets & separate canteen for the bar area. Selected food from per head section on menus & fingers / bowls. Food was amazing 😋 So different & extremely well presented - no paper plates & plastic knives & forks / paper serviettes. May have cost more, but it really was so worth it - so many comments from everyone about the food (best buffet / party food ever) & we had such a brilliant night. Used Jonathan, the DJ they recommend & he was lovely too. Brilliant service from Celeste & all her team & want to say thank you to everyone involved for making my special night so perfect ❤️ Children are allowed too, right up until end of evening. Would definitely recommend if you want a private party venue with more than just the normal party food selection & where everyone goes out their way to make it special 😊

We had 2 fabulous starters with a traditional prawn cocktail with a twist and buffalo chicken which were beyond tasty! We both followed this with a succulent fillet steak accompanied with fries, sauces and veg to make a wonderful main that filled us so much we could only manage a dessert to share. Loved the toffee apple sundae and couldn't fit another thing in! Oh except for the delicious accompanying wine to wash it all down! If you are in Leeds, give this restaurant a visit, thay have a new Winter Menu too!

Unfortunately, the restaurant experience in Malmaison Leeds was the polar opposite of the rest of the hotel experience. To be fair, the front of house staff, were very good and very professional and the decor and surroundings offer a comfortable urban chic feel. But the reason we were there was for the food and, for us at least, it was a double fail. In the first instance on Saturday evening in the bar, we ordered the beef patty and the black bean patty before heading to our event in Leeds. As soon as I bit into the patty (burger) it was tepid at best. Conscious of time I told my wife I was going to persevere (the fries were hot) but her black bean burger wasn't even that warm and was actually cold and undercooked in the middle. We brought it to the waiters attention who, to be fair, was professionally apologetic, and took it away. The solution was a blast in the microwave which heated the fillings but pretty much destroyed the buns. A fresh serving of fries was also provided by means of reparation but, having eaten the original fries whilst waiting for the patties to be reheated, we couldn't eat them all. The experience was spoilt by then. Fast forward to breakfast the next morning and the full English was ordered with poached eggs. Upon arrival, the food was again nowhere near piping hot but just about warm enough until each of us punctured the poached eggs. In both case one was spot on but the second well undercooked resulting in undercooked gloop pooling around the rest of the breakfast. Time constraints meant we had to eat the rest despite some of it sitting in uncooked egg white. The rest of the breakfast was cool by the time we finished. At £19.50 per breakfast you'd expect a lot, lot better and I'd head into the city centre next time. We again brought the issue to the waitress's attention, as the problem was there to see on our plates. She, interestingly, thanked us for bringing it to here attention, but didn't provide any sort of apology. So, whilst I can't speak highly enough about the rest of the hotel experience, it's a 2 out of 5 for the double trouble in their bar/restaurant.

This is a great spot for a relaxed dinner, really well located in the city centre and the restaurant has a nice vibe. The food is so tasty and your are spoilt for choice on the menu. We decided to go with the set menu at £25 for 3 courses which is incredible value. The calamari starter was delicious (I could have eaten it 3 times over!) and the sticky toffee pudding dessert was a great finish to the meal. The staff are polite and friendly, as well as knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend and will be returning again!

Very disappointed in the sales approach, rather than a friendly, easy-going approach. We sat down and asked did we want water for our table, assuming it was complimentary, however when we got the bill it was on the bill and the waitress did not mention a charge. We picked two meals for £20 option and when we had the bill3the discount was not applied. We had to ask for the discount and the waitress said she didnt realise, this should automatically be picked up on the bill, as how many other people have been charged in error more than they thought. There was a service fee also, which we asked to be removed as we had for sauce for our meals which did not arrive, and no one asked how our meal was. I wanted a nice relaxed evening, however the staff seem to push you so much into buying sides, drinks, I almost felt so under pressure and uncomfortable to be there. We managed to escape to a bar down the road, no pressure to buy anything. Our bill was £72 but after questioning the price the 2 courses offer it was £54. Dont be caught out if you go here. The food was play, nothing special, especially for the prices. It was like going to buy a telly at currys experience, staff so pushy for sales. Definitely not for me.

I was staying at the hotel as I have been working in the City. I knew I had a good choice of City Centre restaurants but finishing work late I made the decision for ease to eat at the hotel's Chez Mal Brasserie. I wasn't disappointed. I was welcomed as if I was coming home, that's a nice touch when you are away from home. The food was outstanding. I had the Tuna with a sesame and soy glaze. Tuna cooked pink was perfect and the accompanying Slaw Salad was so good I was forced to ask for the recipe. The chef duly obliged and I will try it home and hope I can get close. I save the best to last. Adam was on duty in the restaurant. It was he who welcomed me, took my order, served me and generally chatted about everything from the football I watched as I ate (dont judge me please!!). He persuade the chef to give me the recipe I will know try to replicate. Every venue needs its staff to be their brand ambassador. They are people on the ground who make or break a reputation. Malmaison take it from me Adam did you proud tonight and deserves the accolade as such. I will be back Malmaison Leeds.

My wife booked a dinner bed and breakfast meal for my birthday today. Room is of usual excellent standards as we have stayed several times before including Edinburgh. However, our evening meal was dreadful. We ordered rump steak which was more like medallions very thin. Medium well we were then told it was cooked best it could be which is either rare or well done!! Sauces were COLD, chips very salty. Waitress offered to have meals recooked but mine was edible and my wife didn't see the point of having a meal come after I had eaten so declined. Portion of mushrooms were forgotten which came half way through eating my meal. Someones lipstick all over my wine glass, safe to say we didnt have wine! Waitress said she would sort something out which she didn't re the price. Dessert was satisfactory nothing special. My wife asked if she could change ice cream to pouring cream, waitress said I'll have to ask chef if there's any left in stock. Service was poor and took forever sat down eventually after stood waiting. 2 staff and only one couple in at the time. Hardly snowed under with only 4 couples in the restaurant and two staff yet it took 1 hour 40 minutes for a 2 course meal! Speaking in the morning to manager....

Visitamos y nos alojamos en el Malmaison Leeds. Decidimos comer en Chez Mal porque el tiempo era malo y hemos comido en un Chez Mal en un hotel diferente antes.Nos recibieron y nos sentamos a tiempo y el personal era amable y servicial. Pedimos prácticamente de inmediato y teníamos nuestros entrantes elegidos a los 15 minutos de estar.Los entrantes eran normales en el mejor de los casos, pequeñas cantidades de queso de cabra y mozzarella, que eran los dos entrantes rodeados de ensalada. Si tiene entrantes en los que el héroe es el queso de cabra y la mozzarella, entonces debe ser suficiente y de buena calidad. Tampoco lo fueron.¡Los platos principales tomaron una hora! ! Preguntamos dos veces y nos dijeron que se estaban preparando. Pasaron otros 10 minutos.Cuando llegaron, el salmón y los fideos estaban fríos, pero no había información sobre ellos en el menú. Cuando se le preguntó, se confirmó que estaba frío. . . . . todavía no estoy seguro de que fuera. El bistec estaba bien preparado.En general, una mala experiencia.

Came here for a friends birthday meal, small affair with just 5 of us over 2 households. The whole hotel was very clearly marked for the new world of social distancing and the staff were attentive and informed about how this would flow through our visit. QR codes around the bar and restaurant for both track and trace sign up and to be directed to digital versions of the menus available. Staff were very pleasant and very proactive in implementing the social distancing between themselves and guests but it never felt like they were just trying to stay away from you (if that makes sense). Still the same level of service I’ve come to expect from the Malmaison teams, the lady who looked after us was very nice, unfortunately I didn’t catch her name but she clearly loves what she does there at the hotel (she mentioned she was the assistant restaurant manager). There were a couple of issues which I’m not going to mention here because they were dealt with swiftly and clearly teething from coming out of this lockdown. I just wanted to praise the hotel and the team for doing the very best they can given the situation all hospitality venues face right now. If you love Mal go support them in their bar and restaurant. Thank you all again!

Due to the Coronavirus scare, the usual buffet table was closed. A great work-around was the sharing platters served to the tables instead. A wonderful variety of meats, seafood and salad, served with bread. Main courses for us were a delightfully light fish dish and a Mal Burger. Both - both great. We followed it up with the Chocolate Torte to share which was delicious. Very Special Thanks to PAOLA for looking after us and keeping my wifes unlimited prosecco topped up! super friendly and helpful. All in all a great way to spend a Sunday lunchtime.We were very impressed with the cleanliness, discreet and constant cleaning, change from buffet to platters, handling of the food and dishes and, overall, spacing of the tables where we were. Would suggest removal of say one table on the seats by the windows just so people have a little more space on the tables for two there currently. Overall 5 Stars +.

This was our fourth visit to the bottomless brunch. We have raved about it and recommended it to loads of peop!e. This visit was still good but we noticed a change in the food choices that relegated it from "amazing" to "good". The buffet was lovely but much less choice. There was no pizza or quiche which was available at our previous three visits and this made it less appealing to non meat eaters. There were no sausage rolls or scotch eggs which didn't bother me but my partner was disappointed. The crepe station was also different. Previously they were made in front of you whilst you wait and had a variety of toppings and chocolate sauce available. This visit there was chocolate sauce and bags of Haribo - no other toppings. There wasn't anyone there making them - they were ready made on a plate.Having said this the quality of the food was great and this is still good value for money - just less impressive compared to previous visits. The drinks flow freely. Ben did a great job of toppings up glasses. The final difference was no live music or space to dance as there had been previously. Tables were in those spaces instead......disappointing.We will still recommend people try it and we had another enjoyable afternoon but perhaps our expectations were raised from our first three visits and so a little disappointed.

Due to the Coronavirus sacre, the usual buffet table was closed. A great work-around was the sharing platters served to the tables instead. A wonderful variety of meats, seafood and salad, served with bread.Main courses for us were a roast beef lunch and a Mal Burger. Both yummy.Thanks to Paola for looking after us and keeping my unlimited prosecco topped up! super friendly and helpful.All in all a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Rather disappointed with our visit - The table we chose was wet and covered in spilled drinks which we had to asked to be cleaned up - we then looked at the menu of cocktails which was rather bizarrely printed on the black paper -the lighting was so poor in the bar we had to use the torches from our phones to be able to read the drinks selection!! There was a good selection of cocktails (not cheap mind you) - Live music started playing later on which rather puts the kibosh on any chatting and communicating with friends – guess it’s what some people want however not really our scene - Given it is a bar in a hotel I would’ve thought some decent lighting and some background music was far more in keeping with the clientele.

Our grandchildren gave us a voucher for Sunday Lunch at Malmaison Restaurant in Leeds and joined us and our daughter. We really enjoyed it, it was easy parking being Sunday we are in our sixties so were a bit wary. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and the menu was full of surprises. Starters were a buffet style selection of as much as you want with mushroom soup, fresh salmon, gamon ham, large selection of meats, samosas, sausage roll, anchovies, salad etc. Our comment was you don’t need a main course after this. The choice of main course was varied with traditional roast and malmaison style burger, fish, vegetarian option and others. We chose the roast sirloin done to our choice, two had burgers, Fries, lovely Yorkshire puddings, veg included our favourites parsnips, roast potatoes and lashings of gravy. For pudding only two of us could manage it and I was torn between the apple and blackberry crumble and their specialty sticky toffee pudding, I had the crumble and my daughter had the sticky toffee both were excellent and they even provided the recipe for the sticky toffee pusding. We chose the unlimited Prosecco at £15 each that was well worth it and the staff were constantly topping us up without asking. What a fabulous lunch we shall return. The staff that looked after us were Edd, Scott and Paola who were really nice and couldn’t be more helpful. The cost was reasonable as a set of Yorkshire folk who have dined at many places across the world this was one of our nicest experiences. Many thanks Malmaison.

I went to Chez Mal recently for a Bottomless Brunch. We’ve become connoisseurs of Bottomless Brunches in Leeds as we’ve made it our mission to try a different one each time. We were seriously impressed with Chez Mal for a number of reasons, especially when compared to other BB experiences. Firstly, the food. Other BBs tend to offer small breakfast meals such as eggs benedict. However, at Chez Mal it’s a buffet on offer. There was talk amongst our group of it being the best buffet they’d had. I don’t know as I’d go that far but it was close. Lots of cheeses, fresh breads, pastas, salads, potatoes, fresh salmon were just some of the foods available. In my experience most BB don’t include a dessert but this one does. Freshly made crepes with chocolates, sweeties and sauce! Drool. Secondly, the drink. Gin was offered as part of the BB but only Beefeater was in the deal. A few of us had a couple of gins. The prosecco was offered quickly and kept topped up, frequently, throughout. This, in comparison to other BB experiences, is the clincher. I didn’t have to ask for a top-up once. Timings for other BBs tend to be 1.5 hours. This one was 3 so another point to Chez Mal. Service was friendly, prompt and efficient. The only negative was that we’d have loved another sauce choice for the crepes (saltedCaramel?) and possibly some cream.

We booked in for an afternoon tea with cocktails and we weren't disappointed. From start to finish, we got excellent service from Katherine, the Events Co-Ordinator and on the day, Becky & Ed who served us. The food was excellent, as were the cocktails - and in a lovely, small private room too. Great value for money, lovely staff and great food. Would definitely come back again, thank you so much we loved every minute!

Booked for the £49 chateaubriand leeds list offer on Saturday 25th January. Steak was great quality, fantastic offer with the sides, glass of fizz and bottle of wine with the meal. Very friendly service by Ed. Would come again on the same offer in the future.

The chateaubriand was great; bottle of wine and a glassof prosecco for £49 for 2. Well worth it. The atmosphere was good and our waiter Jack was attentive but not intrusive. Will definitely be back.

Found myself building my own seafood stew, I like to be creative so thats not a problem- but why serve food in a bowl & be given knife & fork? Not a fan, however its a pet peeve that is prevalent nowadays maybe I am alone with the dream of just having food assembled accordingly in the old fashioned way!

We stayed at Malmaison Leeds on Christmas Eve where we were treated like royalty. We had a superior king room which was beautiful and spotlessly clean. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. We paid £110 for room, evening meal and breakfast on Christmas morning. What a bargain! After spending the afternoon wandering round the city centre we returned to find a bottle of champagne and handmade truffles waiting for us. Our evening meal was lovely and the staff very attentive and friendly. We couldn’t have wished for a better start to our Christmas. Thank you Malmaison. We are already planning to book for next year!

We had the company xmas do in in a private dining room here, for the second year running, and it was mostly good. The service was a little slow at times, but nothing that you'd complain about, and to be expected at this time of year.

This bar was disappointing. We’ve drank in here before. We decided to pop down to the bar from our room. The bar area is small and luckily we got two seats.

I've eaten in lots of hotel restaurants and this isnt one. It stands alone next to a lovely hotel. But its the staff that make the difference. I was served by Nick (? The cheese specialist) and he was really ‘on it’. Frequently topped up water, all the extras you expect from a 4*+ restaurant, polite, explained the menu well, cleared away the extra setting and cutlery at the right times, made good menu suggestions when what Id ordered ran out - including making sure my wine option still worked with my change of meal (big brownie points). I rarely write such long reviews. Tbh the food was good, but if i had to pick out something the cod was slightly overcooked but it didnt matter, everything else was spot on. Big up to the Dirty Martini maker too! Only complaint, i might not fit in my jeans tomorrow...

Nosotros (dos mamás y dos hijas) visitamos Malmaison Leeds para el Liquid Brunch; Después de pasar un tiempo maravilloso en un evento similar en Malmaison Newcastle, estábamos ansiosos por hacerlo. Sin embargo, llegamos para encontrar una multitud de personas en el espacio de entrada y, deseando saber dónde deberíamos 'registrarnos' para nuestro brunch, fuimos al mostrador de recepción. Nos dijeron bruscamente, mientras la recepcionista agitaba su mano hacia la multitud: "Está por allá, no sé el proceso". La multitud era, de hecho, una cola para el brunch, y cuando llegamos al comienzo de la fila, un 'saludador' nervioso y hostil nos dijo que siguiéramos a un camarero acosado a nuestra mesa. El espacio estaba incómodamente lleno y la pobre acústica resultante del techo bajo y la falta de muebles suaves lo hicieron sentir realmente claustrofóbico. Tuvimos que gritarnos sobre la mesa para ser escuchados. Nuestro camarero nos sirvió prosecco e hizo todo lo posible para cuidarnos, pero a mi hija embarazada la molestó la chica increíblemente grosera que estaba detrás del bar porque pidió refrescos. Esta chica era casi ridículamente grosera y definitivamente no estaba hecha para trabajar en la hospitalidad; sin contacto visual y un breve asentimiento cuando se le pidió bebidas parecía ser su respuesta habitual. La comida del buffet era sabrosa y bien preparada, pero dispuesta en un espacio estrecho. Un chef valientemente cocinó deliciosos crepes a pesar de que estaba atrapado en un área pequeña y sucia. Nuestro veredicto: buena comida, lástima del personal. Ciertamente no volveremos.

Estuve de negocios en la zona y reservé una habitación aquí. Es una ubicación práctica para el centro de la ciudad. Me gusta la decoración y el ambiente del lugar, muy cálido y acogedor. Habitaciones limpias y bien equipadas. Pero siempre juzgo un lugar por el personal y el personal aquí me pareció profesional y servicial. En particular, me gustaría mencionar a Sophie y Cassandra que me ayudaron a lidiar con un problema que surgió mientras estaba en el hotel. Mantengan el buen trabajo amigos.

I've been here so many times, fish and chips are my favourite and it's never packed and you're never waiting ages for your meal. Staff are always welcoming and polite, and food is always nice.
