Must stay!

Beautiful hotel in the heart of Blantyre. Only stayed one night on business but I 100% recommend it. Room service (most delicious Chambo) was quick, WiFi was fast, breakfast was delicious and the staff were attentive. Reception even helped me charge my phone!!

This is a very great place to stay in every respect and the only place I would stay if I ever returned to Blantyre. The staff, on a several occasions, went beyond the call of duty, including walking me to a gallery I wished to visit, rather than just giving me directions. Very close to many grocery stores and fantastic restaurants.

6/10 Good

It is probabily one of the nicer properties in Blantyre, nevertheless the rooms are outdated and there is mold in the shower. The restaurant offered limited vegetarian options. The hotel has a nice garden and a decent gym.

Happy Repeat Visitor

Enjoyed my 5th stay at the hotel spread over several years (business). Good location. As always the hotel is elegant & clean - of a high standard. Staff always friendly & helpful. A pleasure to stay here. Lovely internal garden is a good detox. New gym equipment add to experience. Large number of foreigners stay here. Only choice in Blantyre from what I have seen Planning my next visit

My stay at the Protea Hotel by Marriott Blantyre Ryalls was amazing! Was greeted with a complimentary glass of cold drink st heck-in. That was a nice gesture especially as it was 32 degrees outside! The reception staff were very welcoming. And, nothing was too much trouble. The room was good - had air-con, fridge & coffee & tea making facilities with daily replenishments. There is adequate parking for guests. The grounds are well maintained with beautiful garden. Partook of my meals in the hotel restaurant. Good selection of dishes at breakfast and well as a varied menu for dinner which included traditional cuisine. The hotel is in town, so one can practically walk to most places around town. All in all, I loved my stay at this hotel and will definitely stay here again!

Everything about this hotel is great except for internet connectivity. It is not the best for business travel where you are likely to have virtually meetings while at the hotel. IT is very helpful in providing an individual router upon request which is an improvement but does not always provide uninterrupted connectivity.

Room doors not closing easily, very poor breakfast with little amounts that finishes quickly and no replenishment. TVs not functioning sometimes.

Väldigt trevlig personal och god frukost. Tyvärr var poolen avstängd under hela vistelsen och detta hade inte meddelats innan. Maten i båda restaurangerna var medioker och väldigt dyr.
