8/10 Good
"The room was basic, but clean and comfortable. The mosquito net was in great condition. The restaurant steak is delicious, and the included breakfast (and espresso machine!) was excellent. My only gripe is that the staff seemed not to understand how things worked -- every question I asked had to be communicated to the boss, even really basic things. But, overall a great stay."

Amaryllis Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"If you're looking for modern conveniences like air conditioning, wifi, great service, and nice rooms, this is Blantyre's best hotel by far. The staff was incredible - it made me realize that Malawi can have a real five star tourism industry if it wants to. Mwai at the front desk is exceptional, as is the manager of the breakfast buffet (short young Malawian woman) and all of the concierge, cleaning, restaurant, and garage staff. Really exceptional on every level. Gym was good, and when I come back, I also want to swim in the pool!"
