My first experience at Malmaison was truly on point in many aspects. The room had a good setting overlooking the Marina, and the high-quality food in the restaurant was a delightful touch. However, I was a bit disappointed with the room not having a sea view and facing a grotty roof with a dirty flat roof ledge. Overall, the room was well-equipped with a fantastic shower and offered great harbor views.

The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with a lovely 'sea view' from the terrace, providing a nice sunny spot. The service, particularly from David, was very personable and welcoming. The location at Brighton Marina offers free parking, dining options on the doorstep, and a short walk into town. The dining experience, especially the hot breakfast, was enjoyable with a complimentary cocktail. Overall, a good option despite some areas in need of improvement.

My stay at the hotel was overall fantastic. The rooms were large, comfortable, and very clean, providing a great view of the marina. However, I had some trouble with very loud neighbors who partied all night, and the lack of wardrobe space due to the fridge, safe, and coffee equipment was a bit inconvenient for me.

The hotel presents a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms are modern and full of personality, they can feel oppressively hot, and there are some lacking amenities like a refrigerator and wardrobe. The service is generally friendly and well-organized, although there was a hiccup with parking. The location offers great access to the marina and some good facilities, but it may pose some logistical challenges. The dining experience varies from comfortable and modern to disappointing food quality. Overall, there are aspects to enjoy but also areas that could be improved.
