“An oasis !”

Reviewed 25 January 2013

Stayed there 1 week in 2010 - 3 years later, what I remember is how friendly and efficient the staff were. Also the gym was very decent for a hotel this price and this location. This hotel would compare to many 3-4 stars in other parts of the world.

This is a comfortable hotel in the centre of Blantyre, with an interesting history. Check-in staff are friendly and very efficient, breakfasts are good and the restaurant furthest away from the reception (I can't recall its name) is very good. Rooms are nothing special but comfortable and clean with an ironing board and tea and coffee making facilities. There are... More
