"Ryalls Hotel review"

1 night Arrived 9 Sep 2024
"Bog standard city centre hotel which served its purpose for me - a stop over when I arrived before I started my main trip.

Used room service - food was excellent.

My room was right next to reception and the hotel started to hoover at 9pm as I went to bed! I was so tired it didn't really matter but even so!
Staff very friendly and helpful. A pleasant stay." See all these reviews: 9n in Malawi

"Overnighting in Blantyre"

1 night Arrived 29 Sep 2019
"A short overnight stay as we arrived too late to travel to and get into Majete Wildlife Reserve.

Very historic, but in a noisy area - even on a Sunday evening.

Friendly and helpful staff and good food.

The bathrooms were not up to the usual Marriott standard, but were acceptable." See all these reviews: 16n in Malawi

"Clean, comfortable with friendly staff"

2 nights Arrived 16 May 2015
"Very comfortable, spacious town hotel. Staff very helpful. All facilities in our bedroom & bathroom worked well. An array of toiletries in bathroom. Bottled water. Small fridge. We always appreciate having a safe, which was in the wardrobe. Tray of tea facilities.

A choice of dining on offer - buffet or daily menu. Variety of seating areas in bar & dining room.

Musical entertainment provided during the evenings (sat & sun) that we stayed in bar/dining area.

Interesting collection of historical photos are displayed throughout the hotel which are well worth a look." See all these reviews: 6n in Malawi

"One Night at Ryall's Hotel"

1 night Arrived 9 Jul 2013
"A fairly standard International hotel but the highlight was the restaurant for dinner. Wonderful food and wine at a surprisingly low cost.

Make sure you have some warm clothes as the town is very windy and cold." See all these reviews: 15n in Zambia; 4n in Malawi; 3n in Botswana
