    This is a decent hotel for the price but needs more attention to upkeep and maintenance. They have a good chinese restaurant and it is quiet and private most of the time unless there is function on.

    Located very close to Airport (about 30 mnts drive ) We‘d love to stay more. We had a great welcome and were escorted to the room. The hotel has two family friendly pools a restaurant which offers a continental range. We were astonished by the presentation of our dishes and the taste of them. The staff was attentive to make our stay a highly memorable one. Highly recommended this place.

    You could stay here and be within the compound only and you would have enough wine beer and food to be very happy. Evening food is traditional and very cheap. Staff are brilliant, laundry service was very cheap (mk500 item and same day owing to the Malawian sun) On Saturday & Sunday there are often family events where locals use the facilities, a sign to me that the manager Gerald and the owner Titan are well though of.

    Only stayed one day; however watching the animals at play was great; service good; down the road from the wildlife centre. Lilongwe is very spread out so will need taxi to visit attractions. The food was very good and affordable.
