I booked the special weekend deal of B&B for ?119 as a treat for my girlfriends 30th. She knew nothing of it until the day and she was thrilled to bits and we weren't disappointed. Now niether of us are big hotel stayers but this was a great hotel with great rooms. The hotel & rooms were spotless and furnished to the highest standard in deep purples, reds etc... The bed was without doubt the most comfortable bed we'd both ever slept in, and we got up early at 9am for our full english brecky which was yummy and then afterwards went back to bed until 11.40, as check out was at 12. Which is just what you need after a night in Leeds and not getting in until 3am! Overall I would recommend this hotel to everyone except maybe families. Can't wait until another birthday comes around! Even if I do live 5 miles out of Leeds! he-he

We stayed 2 nights at the hotel to watch the England v South Africa Test. Room was on the fourth floor which was extremely quiet, and with the addition of the comfortable beds, gave us a great night's sleep on both nights. The room was spacious enough with fluffy towels, a flat screen t.v., large wardrobe, bath with shower overhead and decent toiletries. It could have done with the furniture and bathroom being cleaned a bit better e.g. some mould on the bath and marks on the upholstery but apart from that it was good. We ate in the restaurant on the first night. The food was ok, as was breakfast the next day though expect to wait for a table at breakfast if you eat at peak time as the brasserie is quite small. The staff are extremely friendly, something that is becoming increasingly uncommon in UK hotels. They couldn't do enough to help and even offered to walk us up to a bar in Leeds that we were having trouble finding. All in all it was a great weekend and we'd most certainly go back to the Mal next time we're in Leeds.

We booked this hotel last minute for ?89 and it was a very pleasant surprise! We where upgraded to a superior room (room 309) which was perfect! It had a very large floor to ceiling curved window with views over the canal, and the biggest bathroom I have ever seen in a hotel! I cannot think of anything negative to say about the room or even really the hotel, apart from it probably not being everyones cup of tea. It is very modern and stylish in the typical Malmaison fashion!

I was going to start this review with how difficult it was to find but as I parked up in Leeds to tell my partner I was lost I actually found I was outside the hotel. The car park is a bit further up the road but I was able to park outside the hotel unload my bags and check in before moving the car which was handy. Location is fairly central and you get the benefit of views over the canal or even go for a stroll and watch the swans and cygnets. Like the earlier contributor we also had room 409, which is very nice but down some dark and eerie corridors. Lovely bath, excellent shower, could have done with a few more towels though. Neither the internet nor the air conditioning worked, luckily the windows opened. We didn’t eat or drink there so can't comment but there are plenty of places nearby to try.
