Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Rooms are a little tired but meticulously cleaned and looked after. I was there for two weeks while working and I could t have been happier. Internet comes and goes a little and lighting in the room is not always the best when working late, but very homely place to stay

Such a great, safe and comfortable space. Huge breakfast. I made my lunch at the breakfast buffet. Comfy rooms and we were lucky enough to have music near the pool on Friday night. ATM close walk and great airport transfer.

My stay at the Protea Hotel by Marriott Blantyre Ryalls was amazing! Was greeted with a complimentary glass of cold drink st heck-in. That was a nice gesture especially as it was 32 degrees outside!
The reception staff were very welcoming. And, nothing was too much trouble. The room was good - had air-con, fridge & coffee & tea making facilities with daily replenishments. There is adequate parking for guests. The grounds are well maintained with beautiful garden.
Partook of my meals in the hotel restaurant. Good selection of dishes at breakfast and well as a varied menu for dinner which included traditional cuisine.
The hotel is in town, so one can practically walk to most places around town.
All in all, I loved my stay at this hotel and will definitely stay here again!

This is a very great place to stay in every respect and the only place I would stay if I ever returned to Blantyre. The staff, on a several occasions, went beyond the call of duty, including walking me to a gallery I wished to visit, rather than just giving me directions.
Very close to many grocery stores and fantastic restaurants.

the best business hotel in Blantyre by far. Classic styling offering a range of meals from buffet or the elegant restaurant next door. Staff always helpful with little requests like Ironing, extra Green tea, document printing etc. A nice blend of fellow guests.

Room doors not closing easily, very poor breakfast with little amounts that finishes quickly and no replenishment. TVs not functioning sometimes.
