    Very nice, located across from a large supermarket and on the mini-bus line.

    The breakfast is okay, but they have no coffee! Only that nasty, instant chicory stuff. The shower had some pressure issues.

    It’s very comfortable and it’s nice that it’s near the Shoprite and the Kwezy bus station.

    First off we were charged more for our rooms than booking.com promised. I think by about 80.00 for the six days stay. You should probably pay in advance to booking.com. The manager tried to say it was a transaction fee but felt more like a finders fee. Was not up to par. The beds were box springs only it seemed. There was no top real mattress like in America. They were nice enough to give us three extra covers to try make a decent soft mattress like feel. We did tip the gals who brought them. The hotel was very safe to be but we were very aware we were staying in a communist owned hotel. With that said all of the staff were excellent workers and helpful. If they want more Americans to stay there they should invest in real mattresses

    Breakfast was very good. Made to order omelettes were great and a great variety of foods everyday. Lots of traditional Chinese foods and fruit and veggies. Over all the staff was wonderful except when we asked for time in a side room for to have a meeting with a group of local friends for a certain price and then later charged full price which we paid 150.00 USD for two hours to use a meeting room. Probably the best hotel in Blantyre all things considered. The restaurant located in the hotel had all we needed for dinners and lunch. Be sure to keep your calculator to figure money in US vs the countries currency difference. Some of the dishes were so large you should and can ask for half an order. There is a mall area and food court within walking distance and prices were very good. $8-12.00 per meal. Also there is a grocery store there too. All the normal stuff. Keep this in mind the very best souvenirs we found were at the Blantyre Airport when we left. The shop there was amaizingly cheap and good quality wood products.

    The menu in the restaurant was not familiar to me and was unable to find something to eat. A few Asian selections like satay chicken, Mongolian beef, curry chicken would have been good.

    Clean and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast

    Dirty carpet. The breakfast was sub standard for a five star hotel. The staff needs to work on their hospitality skills - not receptive.

    The facility is really nice- ambience

    There was violation of the non-smoking policy by those who seemed to be the managers or friends of management. I witnessed this primarily in the restaurant I could also smell the smell of cigars on the room floors

    Great location, great staff, great facilities all round.

    Breakfast was not so good. The salad at breakfast wasn't covered, just left out in the air 🙄 which led to concerns about the sanitation. The bread wasn't fresh and some of the food wasn't properly covered.

    The staff were really respectful and Helpful. The room was so spacious and the view was great. The location is great, a walkable distance to Chichiri mall
