Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 21 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Leisure travellers prioritising sleep quality and a prime location will find this property near Lilla Torg highly appealing. Key features include premium Grange brand bedding and a lush interior breakfast garden. A potential drawback is the lively, social atmosphere in the evenings, and rooms feature standard wall-to-wall carpeting.
Guests score it 8.8 out of 10 — the average across the 4 hotels we list in Malmö is 8.6.
- Located just fifty meters from Malmö's historic Lilla Torg square, the hotel provides immediate access to the city’s primary cultural sites and a wide variety of local dining options.
- The breakfast garden serves as a centerpiece of the property, offering a tranquil, light-filled environment where guests can start their morning surrounded by greenery in the heart of the city.
- The inclusion of wall-to-wall carpeting in all guest rooms may feel traditional to some travelers, though the materials are meticulously maintained and contribute to the acoustic privacy of the rooms.
- MJ's leans into a playful, social atmosphere with a busy restaurant, lobby bar and the Lillies cocktail bar, so travellers after hushed calm may find the public areas lively in the evenings.

Reviews from Google“Good food, but poor timing in service. We ordered starters and mains, but everything was served at the same time. The mains got cold while we were eating the starters. For this level of restaurant, the service should be better organized.”
“Amazing experience ! The atmosphere inside is very beautiful! Food was very tasty : fish and pork, fast on the table. The waitress Filippa was so friendly, thanks her! We strongly recommend this restaurant!”
“The atmosphere is on the top! Very chill and relaxing. The service was also great. We tried the tasting menu. I expected a little bit higher quality, amount and creativity of the food at this price. We were a bit disappointed with 2 out of 4 dishes which were too simple and too easy to make. We shared the same thoughts that we could make these dishes easily at home by our own. We left the restaurant and could not remember the dishes we had. This, for us, the food was not memorable. However, the atmosphere and the staff gave us a great impression and a wonderful night! Overall, we paid for the atmosphere and the services, not the food!”
“I’ve visited MJ in Malmö a few times, and I’m finally leaving a review because each visit just keeps getting better! One of the main reasons we keep coming back is the atmosphere. MJ truly has one of the best interiors in Malmö, with high ceilings, gorgeous plants, beautiful furniture, and just a wonderful vibe overall. Then, of course, there’s the food. They’ve updated their menu since our last visit, now focusing on starters and mid-sized portions. We tried a variety of dishes, like beef tartar, fish, and some vegetarian options. Everything was delicious, well-cooked, and made with high-quality ingredients. Lastly, the service is always top-notch. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always with a smile, which makes the experience even better. I definitely recommend MJ for anyone looking for a great meal and a fantastic ambiance in Malmö!”
“This is so far the highlight of Malmö food experience for me! The staff were the friendliest! The food, wine and dessert were awesome in quality, albeit medium size bites for which the staff also suggest you to take two per person or share! Highly recommend this place! Just look at the photos and imagine the taste! Did I say the staff were awesomely kind?!”
