Big rooms with good views and very nice staff but do not eat there!!
Pros:

Great room with good views.

Cons:

The food for dinner and breakfast was truly awful. We could barely eat what we ordered for dinner and breakfast dishes were not appealing.

Overnight Stray at Umodzi Park Hotel
Pros:

The hotel is strategically located in the City of Lilongwe within the Bingu WaMutharika International Conference Centre (BICC) and is accessible from various entry points positioning it as ideally easily accessible hotel. Because of its location, it makes accessing key places easy as transport can also be arranged by hotel reception staff. I like the hospitality of reception staff including the porters who were very helpful, the rooms were clean and spacious, and breakfast is great with a variety of food catering for different dietary needs something critical as most people are now careful about what they eat as it determines their health. I would recommend anyone passing through Lilongwe to try Umodzi Park Hotel for a home away from home life experience.

A Wonderful Family Weekend at Umodzi Park
Pros:

We had a perfect family weekend at UMODZI President Hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and all staff were friendly and attentive, making our stay very enjoyable. A few extra family-friendly activities like kids’ games or evening entertainment would make it even better. Overall, a relaxing and memorable getaway. we would love to return!”

Charge your card even though you haven’t stayed with them
Pros:

Cancelled my stay 2 months prior to staying with them on a free cancellation basis. Then on the date I should have arrived (9th Jan) they charged my card £1384 and now won’t answer emails or calls to get my mine refunded. Booking.com has also been a disgrace to deal with and like the hotel really don’t care about their loyal customers. Both the hotel and booking.com who I booked with are shameful.
