Sunbird Munt Soche has lovely grounds and staff that are so attentive. If staying in Blantyre Malawi I would certainly book again.

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.

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.

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.

Great hotel, but really needs upgrading

Nice hotel, great location and friendly staff. I particularly liked the bar area, outdoor garden area and the gym in the wellness center. However, the hotel really needs to be updated with better internet connectivity for business travelers. The a/c in my room also did not work properly. One other complaint is that the windows in my room did not complain all of the way, so mosquitos were able to enter.

Not a great hotel

I did not enjoy my stay there. The staff is rude and needs training. The hotel room was not clean at all. It took them an hour to find my expedia reservation.

Nice hotel

Room is fine, but not WoW. There is no hotel lobby which is very funny with an hotel of that size. Location is good. Varieties of restaurants is limited and walking to the nearest shopping area is not always safe as beggars are very mean sometimes.

The hotel was comfortable and the staff extremely helpful at all times. The executive floor with all it's extra's was also very good.
The gardens are beautiful. The pool looked very inviting, but as a disabled person using a wheelchair it is impossible to access the pool area, very disappointing as many disabled peoples main and best exercise is swimming-myself being a regular and strong swimmer as long as access into the pool area and the pool is available!
The other major problem is that using credit cards to pay on checkout is a disaster, both times our cards were declined, we called Citibank in Dubai the issuer of our MasterCard who informed us that there were ample funds available, and they had not received any transactions from Malawi-if they had they would have immediately approved the transaction if you want to consider yourself an International hotel, this needs to be sorted out.

Reasonable business hotel, a refurb wouldn't hurt

Reasonable international business hotel, convenient location for the centre of Blantyre. The Interior is somewhat dated to be honest, functional rather than smart, but rooms have the usual things you need. I recently also stayed at the Protea Ryalls just down the road, which was much smarter by comparison, yet cost me less. Good service, staff professional. I had good & mostly reliable wifi in my room and public areas (a colleague at the end of the corridor could not use wifi in his room, so ask when checking in if this is important to you). The gym was very new, decent quality new equipment. Breakfast, usual fayre, pretty standard quality, no complaints here. There's a typical hotel bar inside, or a casual pub/sports bar on the car park outside. Nice to have the option.

Excessively expensive. Average, actually very boring food. Old and tired decor. Pathetic internet services. Good staff. Very poor value for money. Would rather have stayed at a B&B.

Nice hotel, value for money, but..!

Nice hotel, friendly and service minded staff, food very good! Enjoyed 16 nights there Feb 2013. BUT ask for a room with garden view, to much noise from parking, to many car alarms during nights. But overall I had a pleasant stay there!

Mount Soche, Blantyre

On the whole our stay was a very good expereience with all staff very friendly and attentive. We ate every night of our 10 night stay in the hotel, alternating between Michiri and Gypsy's. Food was to a good standard and the breakfasts were really good with lots of choice of fresh produce.
We had a suite and we asked them to put a single bed in the lounge area. This was done really quickly.
I would definitely recommend this hotel if staying in Blantyre.

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.

3-days' stay at Mount Souche May 2016

I have stayed at Mount Souche several times. With a restaurant, bar, garden, pool and available wifi (not superb but still) it has what it takes for a comfortable stay. Breakfast is good with warm and cold dishes. The hotel has recently been redecorated inside (bar, restaurant and most recently also the room I got). This has increased the standard. The hotel offers airport transport and is quite well located with a bank across the street and within walking distance of two good restaurants (and some others I have not tried). The drawback of this hotel is that it is big and hence a bit less \"personal\" and cosy. All in all a good hotel - that is also on top when it comes to costs of staying.

Billig og godt hotell.

Bra hotell. Bra Service. Minus, tildels mye støy fra bil alarmer på parkeringsplassen, nattestider, be om rom mot hagen! Ellersalt i alt et godt opphold. Frokosten helt topp. Middagsmeny veldig bra!
