Overall, it's a nice hotel with some very helpful staff, although perhaps a little overpriced.
Cons:

The room didn't have a desk to work at, the curtains in the bathroom and kitchen were broken, and the shower didn't drain and consequently flooded the upstairs area.

Heerlijk! Aanrader!
Pros:

Wat een paradijs! Schitterende kamer, mooie tuin, prima restaurant en lieve mensen. Wat wil je nog meer in zo’n hectische stad.

Pleasant and luxurious but improvements could and should be made.
Pros:

Kind of mixed feeling about this one, as I'II describe... On the surface of it, everything was very nice and luxurious. Relaxing outdoor area with a lovely pool. Good food in the restaurant. Nice lounge area. Room over two floors was very pleasant. Fairly well equipped gym. Upmarket neighbourhood a world away from the rest of the city. In short, you could easily forget you were in a low income African country.

Cons:

Considering the cost there were a lot of small things that could have been improved on. Reception staff were a bit standoffish. Most not particularly friendly. I asked on one occasion to change a $20 for two 10's and just got a headshake and a surly look. Poor maintenance of facilities - my partner flushed the toilet in a common area and the cover fell off, frayed towels, showerhead that didn't function well, drain blocked so water spilled over the rusted frame onto the floor, brown hard water fixed to the toilet bowl. One roll of toilet paper provided. We called and asked for another one which never arrived. Had to go and fetch it ourselves. Old towels and water bottles not cleared from the gym, there was a sign asking that you spray the equipment after use but no spray bottles to be found. All this would be easy to overlook at a cheap property but this place is supposed to be high end. A regular coke $5 in the restaurant, ok. A diet coke $15! And they were not next to each other in the menu so I didn't realise until the bill came. Didn't seem to be very good communication between restaurant and reception when it came to paying the food bill before we left.
It was a very nice place. A perfect spot to end our trip to Malawi. But if you proport to be a high end place you need to follow through with higher end service, better maintenance and attention to detail.
