6/10 Good

Disappointed with the location so make sure you know where you're going to be. Covid screens at reception really need to go - it was like checking into a prison. 7.50 USD for a can of coke - twice the price of the Savoy in London. I didn't really understand that. All staff were unfailingly friendly and welcoming.

This was a safe location for foreigners. The compound is surrounded by a wall and guarded gate. The facilities were very nice, clean and comfortable. The restaurant was very good. Their portions are big or you can go a buffet.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

This is a unique property in the sense that it has all the basic needs and checks off all the boxes in Lilongwe. It is comfortable, clean, and safe. However, it is very basic and cold in terms of decor and having one restaurant. Any stay over 4-5 nights without a form of transportation and ability to explore will be very boring unlike Latitude 13 that is a warm and inviting property with interesting and appealing architecture and art.

Used to be the best hotel in town but service is deteriorating systematically. No maintenance to plumbing in the bathroom. No hot water most of the time. Housekeeping not consistent. If they continue this way I won’t stay there again.
