Lilongwe Castle Hotels

"Peaceful oasis, friendly staff, excellent housekeeping and close to many nice restaurants."

"Great design, tons of space, largely well maintained. Not designed with safety in mind, however - one of these days someone will fall down the stairs in the rooms (barely any handrail)..."

"Nice, quiet place"

"This hotel is closed and has ceased trading. When we arrived it was closed up and a local lady said it was closed down. I’m still waiting for a refund from Hotels.com. Don’t book this hotel. "

"Staff were very much helpful. Hotel was clean and quiet. However, there were limited food options. And, food was expensive. "

"I stayed for two nights in a one bedroom "Delux Chalet" which had a nice patio so you could sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. The room was very nice with a draw-around mosquito net on the bed which I didn't use. The bathroom had been completely renovated with floor to ceiling ceramic tiles with a full-sized bathtub at one end and a large shower at the other end. The room is extremely quiet at night and only the sounds of ducks quacking in the morning...no roosters! The complimentary breakfast served in the dining room patio area is absolutely terrific. The fried Chombo fish is caught fresh in Lake Malawi about an hour away. I passed on the fish. The sausages are very tasty and the bacon is quite thick. There is a girl behind the buffet-style breakfast bar that will make you an omelette or an egg any way you want it. The hotel staff are very polite and accommodating. For local transportation I highly recommend "B &C" taxi. This is also the same driver the hotel uses whenever guests need a taxicab. I would caution anyone arriving at the Lilongwe airport to not use any of the cab drivers that hang out at the airport. Their cars are run down, their fuel guages are all well below the "empty" line, and they charge too much for a ride to Lilongwe. You should not pay more than 60,000 Kwatchas for the 35-minute ride from the airport to town. Better that you call the front desk at the Lilongwe Sunbird Hotel and ask them to send their driver to the airport to pick you up."

"The room was hot as sin, had a fan and aircon never worked. Spring bed, old linen & Towels, water brown, took 10 min to heat up, no pressure. Breakfast on first morning terrible. Second morning much better. Asked for room with aircon and was moved. Much better than first impression I won't be returning. "

"Always my favorite property to stay at in Lilongwe. The monkeys are an added bonus."

"Worth every penyy"
