Sunbird Lilongwe - great hotel
Lovely hotel well located in town. My airconditioning was not working and though it took a while, the team actually changed the compressor the same evening and ensured I got a good night's rest. Above & beyond. Highly recommend this place.

It worked for the purpose of the trip. Nothing extra ordinary to compliment on. Staff was great, except for one lady in the dining area, who was kind of annoying!

Relaxed elegance, beautiful gardens
The Sunbird Lilongwe is a beautiful hotel. It has the relaxed elegance of an earlier era, with low-slung building and open corridors with view of the extensive, beautifully-maintained gardens. The rooms have been recently renovated so they are very comfortable, and there is now a gym (I tried the elliptical, which worked very well) as well as a small pool. The breakfasts are ample, with omelettes made to order, and the service is excellent. I stayed twice, once on each end of my trip to Lilongwe, and I enjoyed both visits. This is Old Town, so outside the hotel the roads are rough and sidewalks are dirt paths, but if you venture a block down to the big shopping center, the Bombay Palace also has excellent Indian food.

Not worth the money but good location
We hoped for solid wifi and some luxury on this stay… the place is nice, but needs maintenance (eg bathroom door lock missing, mosquito nets didn’t work). The Wi-Fi kept kicking you off and you had to log in repeatedly with a code that’s not memorable. Didn’t think it was worth the money. The location is good.
