Excellent service, spotless rooms, and fast internet.
Pros:

Breakfast is customized to individual tastes and preferences, and it is prepared professionally. The location is truly stunning and perfect for training, although it is somewhat distant from town for trainees relying on public transport. Overall, I received outstanding services during my stay.

Cons:

I didn't like that cash isn't accepted, particularly for the Kwacha, as a non-Malawian.

Pros:

Very comfy bed, friendly staff, nice meals.

Cons:

Loud music playing outside on the patio immediately outside my room, which was very audible because the bathroom window was broken and wouldn't close. Staff were quite confused when I asked for the music to be turned off and was initially told it would be on all night, though eventually it was turned down. I find this crazy, especially given the relatively high price for Lilongwe - please turn the music off without guests having to ask! Otherwise the hotel was fantastic so this was a shame.

Would definitely recommend!
Pros:

Great staff!

Cons:

If you’re a light sleeper, request a room upstairs. First floor rooms have a bit of noise from routine maintenance around the property in the mornings.
