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.

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.

It doesn’t seem like it’s an Expedia VIP hotel anymore. Towels smell bad and carpet not neat.

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.
