The hotel rooms need to be cleaned especially the bathrooms and my bedding was dirty has stains on it.
The restaurant smells stuffy you should look at airing the restaurant.

Nice stay in Blantyre
The hotel has good staff that give good advice and about where to eat and security - which is an issue. It is not recommended to walk outside for westerners due to streetboys.
The hotel itself is a 3 star hotel, in european standards. A bit run down, but clean.
The restaurant on 5th floor, Vincent, is very good.

Great hotel for a small meeting
I stayed at Sunbird Mount Soche for a whole week and we held a 2 day business meeting (with 37 attendees) in their attached conference center. It was overall excellent experience. Although the lobby is not impressive, the hotel really grew on me over my stay - the staff were lovely, there is a good gym, nice backyard and very good restaurant. The staff taking care of the rooms were lovely and attentive, and the rooms were clean. The WiFi was not great, but I do not beleive there is fast consistent internet anywhere in Blantyre. I would definitely stay there again.

Found waiters to be professional and friendly. I was allowed a late checkout because my flight was later in the afternoon.

NIce hotel, staff and restaurant
We were there for nearly a week to work and appreciated the comfortable studio, the friendliness of staff, the nice bar and outdoors area and the very good restaurant. We thought we would get tired and eat elsewhere eventually but we never felt the need. The menu offers a great variety and pretty much everything we tried, including some interesting local dishes, was very good.
