This is a very authentic hotel, right in the middle of a very busy part of town, yet set off the road enough to feel secluded. Staff is helpful and friendly.

The location of this property has been ideal for me for all of the last 3 trips I have taken to Malawi. The staff is INCREDIBLE. The restaurant, amazing. This time, I noticed the impact of COVID, I think, because some staff seemed a bit sparse, but the level of service was just as good. But, could tell things were different. A few issues with the hote water, but, one quick call to the desk and it was resolved. Feels like home!

The room I stayed in had a king sized bed, however, that was not a lot of space. The room had all of the essentials and the Wi-Fi was okay. The breakfast is fulfilling and the restaurant serves authentic Indian cuisine. Staff are courteous. The airport shuttle is $40 USD and reliable.

Excellent restaurant with authentic Indian cuisine. The breakfast offered is also quite good. Hotel is centrally located and close to a small shopping centre, banks, a craft market and other amenities. Rooms are tastefully decorated and there a number of international channels.

Great central lilongwe hotel
Heart of Lilongwe, great location and not too noisy. Excellent restaurant that was open late. Room was fine, a tad old and small but clean and safe. Excellent water pressure and the AC worked well. Very good breakfast (included). Service was fast and responsive.
