Simama Hotel

Simama hotel A nice hotel in the heart of Lilongwe. Stay was helpful and friendly. Hallway needed cleaning. Rooms were clean and bed comfortable.

Not so good…

Simama Hotel was terrible on multiple levels. The rooms including the carpet, linen and curtains were filthy. Requested a change of linen and it was worse. Discovered they did not even have a vacuum cleaner to deal with the dusty carpet. There were multiple occasions where our food was off, the meat was not fresh, I skipped meals because I did not want to risk food poisoning. We had cockroaches in the dinning area, on the tables, and what I believe were rodents in the ceiling. A health risk, emotional turmoil and certainly not worth your peace of mind. I must add though, the staff were friendly and did try their best to make our stay a little bearable, but it was clear that their hands were tied, they did not have the resources to improve the situation.

Friendly staff was the best feature. Disappointing features was the advertised pool had been closed for over twelve months. Maintenance on the property was substandard for the price point.

It should not be considered as hotel is horrible. Unpleasant services Staff not competent No wifi Very dirty with lots of dust in the rooms Dirty tissues Leaks in the ceiling Too much noise Difficult to access area Not recommendable to anyone

Fantastic
