Went in for a 5 course dinner & it didnt disappoint as it kept up to its reputation as the only place in Blantyre where you'll have a combination of both indigenous, exotic & strange tastes. What was that tiny roasted crunchy bird called again? More

Blantyre has a few hotels, but they all pale in comparison to the Protea Ryalls. The room are well appointed and clean, service is excellent and the food is awesome. More

The room was very nice and clean with crisp white bed sheets however the only let down for me was that in the evenings I found that the room had a lot of Mosquitos and I had to call... More

Whilst travelling by car and camping we every now and then like to indulge ourselves in a nice hotel, well this was the best by far we have found in a large area. And ..... everything works. If they could also train their servicing staff not to spend more time between themselves but have more attention for their guests it... More

This is a very comfortable hotel to stay. A pleasant surprise in Blantyre. The rooms are comfortable and the staff accommodating. Internet works and excellent gym facilities! The breakfast is very good too but the hotel restaurant (21) is simply excellent (visit it even if the hotel is fully booked!). It offers good value for money - and I would... More

I stayed in Protea Ryalls for 2 nights while on a business trip to Blantyre. The hotel has a old structure from outside, but the inside has a more modern touch to it, with occasional african design elements in between. The overall ambience is nice. Rooms are very clean, well arranged. There's a a small wardrobe, a table, small sitting... More

Stayed here for 2 nights. Bedrooms large, well appointed, excellent crisp White sheets, modern bathroom. Hotel has pool and gym but no gardens. Service ok. Excellent buffet breakfasts catering for all tastes, including the Scots abroad. I enjoyed a delicious bowl of "Jungle Oats" aka porridge - thick, creamy, salty and wonderful. More
