    The public could access even the room levels. We had people coming to the room levels just to take photos and videos even when they were not guests at the hotel. Friday and weekends were the most noisy days. We could hear music from the bar even at midnight, such an inconvenience.

    The food was delicious. There were a few changes of the breakfast buffet everyday with lots of Malawian local delicacies. The hotel is centrally located in the city with beautiful views from our room on level 7. Robert made us great lattes, and Trinity, a server was very warm and friendly. Always knew our daily coffee orders.

    The service at the restaurant Zaffron is excruciatingly slow. It took an hour and half for our food to arrive. Food was not very good. They seem to have no butter. At dinner they served bread rolls but when asked for butter said there is none. Same story for breakfast. There was also a very noisy karaoke party that went on till late at night. The previous night they had hammering/construction going on.

    Beautiful well appointed rooms in a very safe location right in the heart of downtown.

    If you want a glass of wine/beer with your food, the staff must run down to ground floor, to a bar, and buy that separately, and pay for it separately.

    Friendly and helpful staff

    Hotel shuttle did not pick me up from the airport ... I had to get a cab. Served coffee was not as good as ordered coffee, so I opted to order coffee (no extra cost) with my breakfast everyday. Cleaners could be a little noisy in the morning, talking to each other in the corridors.

    Breakfast was really good, with multiple options of hot and cold options. Food at the indoor restaurant was really good as well. Location was also great. Staff were very friendly and tried to be helpful and accommodate various requests.

    Whilst the staff are friendly the check in process seems slow. Be warned, if you are booking a deluxe room with two double beds through booking.com the beds are actually large singles, NOT doubles. We thought the room would be big enough for 3 people but it wasn’t. The hotel added a single camp style bed into the room for free.

    Located in the centre of Blantyre. Rooms are comfortable and the double room beds are HUGE and very comfortable. Staff are super friendly and happy to help. Food is very good although the price is higher given this is probably one of the poshest hotels in the city.

    I think the breakfast could have been better. There was a lot of fluff on the breakfast buffet. But overall, it was good.

    Facilities were great and top notch.

    The bath plug in the bath does not seal and there is no welcome book when you enter the room. It was confusing to dial reception and room service.

    Lovely, comfortable hotel. The staff are all incredibly helpful and friendly. The food at the restaurant is great. Location is ideal for business travel.
