Top boutique place!!
I booked 3 nights at Malmerendas for my boyfriend’s 30th birthday after reading all the great reviews - however we had a very different experience.
For £150 a night I would expected more - there was no conditioner, tissues or safe (quite basic amenities) and you have to pay for the coffee in your room.
The breakfast was very basic. The fresh bread was nice, but the ham, cheese and juice etc were straight out of a packet or can. For a ‘boutique’ hotel It wouldn’t take much to source some fresh local produce. It also felt rationed, and became somewhat awkward since we had to constantly get up to ask for more milk, butter, water etc. Nothing is left on the side.
No one asked how our stay was, and having told them it was my boyfriend’s birthday in advance it would have been nice if our stay was made to feel special, considering there’s only 5 guests at any one time. However, the design of the hotel is lovely, it’s just a shame the overall experience wasn’t.
I was very excited to stay at this hotel because it got excellent reviews- we had a very different experience. The check in was OK but not very informative. The room itself is small, which would be OK if it was clean. It was filthy. The carper is stained, the bathroom floor looks like it has never even been washed and the walls are very dirty. In terms of the room, everything in the room you are charged for. Even coffee and tea. This is absurd. To conclude, the court yard is nice but if you open your balcony doors on the backside ALL you smell is smoke from people smoking below. If you are sensitive to smoke at all you simply cannot open the doors. Overall, very disappointing.
We had the attic room and it's super spacious. The staff are so friendly and always willing to help. Worth staying!
Wonderful lodge! Very centrally located, stylish decor, and very friendly staff (run by two self-made business women). On the downside, our room was getting very hot during the day, despite air con. Probably because our room was right underneath the roof top. On the other hand, we had a nice balcony in return. So, bit if a trade-off. But we would definitely recommend staying in this place!
