    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.

    We only stayed for one night after arriving late but the welcome was excellent. The flat is clean and well equipped, the mattresses are of good quality and the area is quiet. And in the morning we were lucky enough to have an excellent breakfast, very complete, prepared by the chef in the flat kitchen. We would recommend this accommodation. Communication was very good and accommodating.

    Quiet location in a residential area outside the city center. About a 15 minute walk to a small shopping center in Area 10 with a few restaurants and a grocery store. Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable with a fan and mosquito net. The staff are wonderful. Sarah is a joy. So helpful and accommodating. The breakfast included in the price was very tasty (and enormous!). WIFI works well. The guesthouse offers transport into the city center for a reasonable price.

    The hostess Chikondi was a very good to me, so I felt very welcome. Also her team is very proffessional and the food was tasty. It is very near to shopping center and 3 kilometers to the City center, which was convenient for work as well as for pleasure. They have chairs outdoors in the garden, which is good for relaxing. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe and many expatriates live in the area.

    Chef Heslon and the hospitality clerk Jamaima, the manager, were very friendly and helpful. Older properties (from the 60s) have more character, with large trees and grounds incorporated into modern conveniences. A convenient location - very private and quiet. Successfully found some shirts and dresses at Orient Palace in the Gateway Mall (also Queen's MAll). We also liked Cocos at Gateway. Try Game Mall. Malawi has incredible sunsets.

    Wonderful and friendly staff who went out of their way to serve and guide 24/7. The environment was quiet, which was conducive for rest and/ or work. Well-lit and cozy room with clean beddings. Toiletries were made available all-through. Quite near the city center: about 5-10 minutes by car or motorbike. The breakfast was pretty decent & served within the requested time, according to one's schedule. Room service for breakfast was made available at no extra charge.
