I had a pleasant stay overall. The hotel's central location in Blantyre was unbeatable, surrounded by many restaurants and close to the financial area. The rooms were comfortable with great Wi-Fi, but the service lacked a warm welcome from the receptionist. Dining was average and could use more variety, but the facilities were excellent and well-maintained.
