Snyman (8/5): -
Alejandro (10/5): -
Euadaba (7/5): - Muito estranho ter feito a reserva no Booking, chegado no hotel, eles não tem quartos sem aviso prévio. Não gostei desse protocolo.
Axeman (10/5): Super - The treatment i received at the hotel was very good. Nothing
MARIE JOSE (10/5): -
Matthew (6/5): Nice people, pretty rooms, but still needs some work to bring it up to the level it could be. - Nice updated rooms, the staff were very friendly. Bed were comfortable. AC was great. No wifi entire time. They had to bring a special router to my room, but that didn’t help outside the room in restaurant or reception. Also, the water from the shower had a strange smell. Maybe it’s from a water tank? Finally, I booked the room at a certain rate but was charged more because the fluctuation in currency. I get it but, when I book it, that is an agreement and they should hold to that rate.
Cliff (6/5): -
Charles (10/5): - Everything was great!
Karina (1/5): Terrible, do not stay there! - There was lots of screaming at the property, we were awake since 3am. The staff did nothing to stop the disruption that went on at the hotel parking at the entrance for nearly 2 hours in the early hours of the morning.
Ross (7/5): Good -
Imraan (10/5): Exceptional -
Robert (6/5): Pleasant - Location was good. Breakfast was OK. Would have loved a cappuccino to start the day but not available with breakfast.
William (8/5): Very good - Location and familiar bedroom. replacement of some things, such as water, towels,
Brian (6/5): Reno in progress - Ok. Work in progress
Gerard (6/5): Very expensive for the service received. Will never go back - Friendly staff I completely respect the religion of the hotel owner. I understand that he abstains of drinking alcohol. However, I am disappointed by the fact he wishes to impose his choices to his guests, who don’t share the same beliefs. I appreciate to be welcomed in a place which provides a relaxed and inclusive approach. The room price is way too high compared to the amenities and the constraints imposed to the customer. I will never come back.
Imraan (10/5): Exceptional -
Rohan (7/5): Good -
Aiuba (8/5): Very good -
Robert (6/5): Pleasant -
Marcus (6/5): - Overall a good experience, but I expected more for the price based on the listing. Wanted to charge me extra for the second person even though I booked for two. I booked for the fridge in the room for my medicine and it was broken and I had to fight to get assistance.
HIROAKI (2/5): - I booked this hotel and paid in advance through Expedia, but I was charged again when I arrived the hotel. The hotel manager said the hotel had not received the fee from Expedia, and that you need to pay again. I paid for the hotel and then requested both the hotel and Expedia to investigate the payment status to clarify which side, hotel or Expedia is holding the money I overpaid. However, neither side responds to it and of course I haven’t been refunded the fee of more than £300. Isn’t this a scam? Expedia support team asked me to send a receipt from the hotel, and I sent it, but their answer was “we can’t refund the fee” without telling any reason or the investigation status. I will never use Expedia nor the hotel.
Seth (8/5): My choice in Blantyre - The Malawi Sun is my preferred stay in Blantyre
Sonali (9/5): Convenient and comfortable place to stay - Clean, modern rooms. Hotel well located in centre of town Some building work going on, although this was not disruptive
Osman (6/5): Pleasant -
Seth (7/5): My preferred hotel - The hotel is my preferred accommodation in Blantyre. Over the years it has been renovated to a high standard. It’s nice when I was upgraded to a suite!! Great place to stay
Osman (8/5): Very good -
Oduor (6/5): Pleasant -

Alcidio (6/5): Pleasant -
Aneez (10/5): Exceptional -
William (7/5): Good -
Daniella (6/5): Very nice rooms, poor internet security. - Rooms were very spacious and clean and nice. Good bed, spacious bathroom. General very nice room. Dinner was very good. They need to change their wifi settings, it is an unsecure connection for work laptops, you cant log in with corporate laptop. Big downside if you travel for business. Big tv but only 3 channels, no BBC, no CNN, no Al Jazeera. Property would need a bit of TLC on the outside. Please add a mosquito net. Indicate on the website that the hotel does not supply alcohol. The rooms were very nice but no light bulbs on the bedside lamps and no light bulb on the table to work. Breakfast was rather poor.
Emma (9/5): A good, safe location for business and holiday travellers. - Perfect hotel for work stay - easily located with good amenities including a gym and pool. Staff were very helpful and the breakfast included was very good. Internet was not very reliable.
Roos (7/5): Clean, well managed with exceptional staff. - Brekfast not up to standard to similar types and priced hotels. Breakfast not up to standard & Wi Fi was a problem.
Russell (7/5): Good - Advertisement for this property should state more clearly that there is no bar and no alcohol is served at the hotel.
Per (6/5): It served its purpose - The parking and location Not too charming
Perry (7/5): Very pleasant and value for money - The rooms were very spacious and clean with all facilities working perfectly. The location is also good as it is very close to the shops and a good eating place. Staff was very polite. The new wing was still under construction and somehow not a good sign for guests as it may pause risks. The restaurant could do with an upgrade.
Steve (8/5): Had an excellent stay. The sunrise view over the mountain was gorgeous! - The breakfast was very good. Service is outstanding! The compound has no front gate, which would offer more security.
Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional -
Emma (9/5): A great location in Blantyre with helpful and professional staff. - A well situated hotel with excellent accommodation and conference facilities. The staff were professional and very accommodating in meeting personal and group (professional team) needs. The rooms in the newer block where I stayed were spacious, clean and well fitted out. There is a lovely view from the conference/event room out over the hills, and a nice terrace area - it's a great location for training or a conference with larger numbers. Conference facilities (projectors, microphones etc) were provided and staff were always on hand to help. Catering - both for the event and in the restaurant were very good - with a good range on the menu- including vegetarian and vegan options. The internet was not always strong - however I wonder how much of this is under the control of the hotel as my experience with some places in Malawi is that coverage is not always consistent.
Amani (9/5): Superb -
Izhar (8/5): Very good -
Tsehaye (9/5): Superb -
Ferdi (8/5): Very good - The restaurant diner is not good at all. This is a oo Alcohol restaurant. The steak was about 5 mm thick and way overcooked. The chickens wings for a starter were undercooked.
Sujoy (9/5): Superb -
Tamas (10/5): Exceptional -
Edwin (6/5): Pleasant - The location and breakfast. The breakfast was ideal and well prepared. The hotel is strategically located. The good staff who are able to assist guests. The room offered in the new building did not offer privacy in terms of noise from the neighbouring room. The lack of stable internet connectivity in the room did not make it easy to work comfortably especially in the new building.
Dilawar (7/5): Overall good -
Dilawar (8/5): Overall good - Facilities and cleaning Confusion at reception even after clear instructions
Emile (7/5): Good -
Julianah (8/5): Stay was splendid!! - Generally everything was good
James (2/5): Poor and unprofessional staff attitude towards guests - Good food Airport transfer was confirmed via Booking.com. Hotel did not arrange it and staff could not care less. Even after showing them the confirmation email, they stated that it did not matter because it was not in their system. Highly unhelpful and unprofessional in their attitude. Had to pay $80 in airport taxis when a hotel with a shuttle had been booked !

Shaka (7/5): Good -
James (9/5): Great little hideout, close to lots of other amenities, great value for money - Wide menu, great food, affordable and filling (you won’t need to look elsewhere) Useable rooms, lots of USB charging ports all over - great if you’ve forgotten your charger Sizable showers, lots of hot water, clean towels Ran into some trouble with mosquitoes, but then this is Malawi after all; bring your own mosquito repellant - it helps
Sidney (10/5): Best in Blantyre - Rooms were very good. Food was good. Best hotel we visited in Malawi
Kawuma (9/5): Its been a fruitful trip thank you - Welcoming and Customer service is superb, and Clean enviroment its missing a gyming facility and a swimming Pool to become an international hotel in Blantyre
Katlego (9/5): Superb - The hotel is so clean and the staff are very friendly.
Vilaida (5/5): Passable - Beautiful and comfortable rooms. Spacious and very good bathroom the first time was hopeful and that's why I came back. But this time it was disappointing, I stayed in one room and saw cockroaches, the next day I asked to change the room thinking that the problem was in that room but in the other room there were also small cockroaches. very beautiful and comfortable hotel, but they should improve cleanliness and ensure that similar situations do not happen
Vilaida (9/5): Superb -
Amani (8/5): Very good -
