Blantyre Hotels with Parking

Pros: Quiet location (no traffic noise) A short (daytime) walk to a busy part of Blantyre. Good size room. Cons: The safety deposit box was not working - I was told 'it's an old one and so can't be fixed, you can keep things in the reception safe'. Leaking water in bathroom. Very expensive drinks at the bar - 14,000 kwacha / $10 + tourism tax for a bottle of Castle beer (imported from SA). The other, local, beers are 6000 kwacha plus tourism tax so also expensive - Malawi has seen some huge inflation but I paid less than 3000 for the same beers at a lodge in Mulanje. The bill on check out added a 'tourism levy' (tax) to everything I ordered in the restaurant - I was not told about this when ordering and was not charged a tourism levy in any of the other 3 hotels/lodges I stayed in during my time in Malawi. This could have been in the T&Cs however and I just missed it. Breakfast is not particularly great (a la carte) - i had to return undercooked sausages. Overall, the lodge itself is in a good location and i would return again. I would skip the restaurant and go to the Crossroads hotel restaurant which has reasonable prices and good quality food (but no alcohol). Casa Mia definitely had the most expensive beers I found in Malawi, although the very friendly and interesting owner was kind enough to buy me a few so I guess it balanced out.

房間很寬敞，交通很便利，走路幾分鐘就到附近的批發市場了，老闆很親和，知道我們要出發第二個城市，幫我約了的士，還打了折扣給我們，下次來還住這裏

Front desk service There were two night-shift female front desk services that were not in place. They asked them to send WiFi and waited for a long time but didn't deliver it. In the end, they got it by themselves and complained to them. The room is very spacious, you can cook by yourself, the faucet that adjusts the water temperature is too bad, it will fall when you touch it, a bit far from the city, the location is in the suburban countryside, but the whole city of Blantyre is also like a big countryside
