Ryalls Hotel in Blantyre is by far the best hotel I have ever stayed in Malawi. The rooms were impeccably clean and exceptionally comfortable, providing a perfect environment for rest and relaxation. The buffet service was absolutely outstanding, offering a variety of dishes that were not only delicious but also felt like a true taste of home. Each meal was a delightful experience, showcasing the hotel’s commitment to quality and flavor. The staff provided excellent service throughout my stay. I would like to give special recognition to the reception and dining room staff for their professionalism, attentiveness, and warm hospitality. They truly made me feel valued as a guest. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. I will certainly be returning to Ryalls Hotel whenever I am in Blantyre. Highly recommended!

Breakfast was good with lots of choice. Dinner in 21 Grill was a little disappointing. I ordered the prawns which were delicious but were over cooked which made it difficult to peel the shells off. Staff ere exemplary.
See above re 21 Grill. Strange layout to get to 21 Grill, having to walk through another dining area (where people were eating lunch) together to it.

Wonderful food, service, and overall very nice.
The bathroom seems as if it needs a refresh and some of the furniture was in need of being replaced as it was worn out.
