Burley House - Guest House

I initially chose this Guest House due to proximity to where colleague was staying. They were in 4* hotel they had to move out of due to issues, Burley is classed as 3* but a fantastic place that is worthy of more. From support before arrival arranging transport from airport to the continued service during stay it could not have been better. The beds are comfortable and clean, TV selection good if you have time. Gardens pleasant and breakfasts made fresh to order. All the staff appear friendly and happy, nothing requested is too much bother. The honesty bar develops a sense of family as does the lounge area. I really enjoyed my stay there and would rebook without second thought. We had a hire veh which helped as there is not a lot close by but the Cantina provides a good vibrant restaurant within walking distance.

Lovely rooms. Nice furnishings. Great staff. Really lovely gardens. Safe quiet location within east reach of the city.

I have been visiting Lilongwe about five times a year and never found a really nice place to stay...until now. Burley House is a huge house in a lovely garden. It is all open-plan, giving a sense of space and bringing the outside in. The room was carpeted, had quality soft furnishings, a huge bed, satellite TV and aircon. The bathroom was modern and well done. All the staff I met were excellent and both dinner and breakfast were creative, well-presented and tasty. Food prices were very reasonable. It is hard to find a stylish and characterful place in Lilongwe. This is it!
