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.
