Great hotel for a small meeting
I stayed at Sunbird Mount Soche for a whole week and we held a 2 day business meeting (with 37 attendees) in their attached conference center. It was overall excellent experience. Although the lobby is not impressive, the hotel really grew on me over my stay - the staff were lovely, there is a good gym, nice backyard and very good restaurant. The staff taking care of the rooms were lovely and attentive, and the rooms were clean. The WiFi was not great, but I do not beleive there is fast consistent internet anywhere in Blantyre. I would definitely stay there again.

NIce hotel, staff and restaurant
We were there for nearly a week to work and appreciated the comfortable studio, the friendliness of staff, the nice bar and outdoors area and the very good restaurant. We thought we would get tired and eat elsewhere eventually but we never felt the need. The menu offers a great variety and pretty much everything we tried, including some interesting local dishes, was very good.

Great hotel, but really needs upgrading
Nice hotel, great location and friendly staff. I particularly liked the bar area, outdoor garden area and the gym in the wellness center. However, the hotel really needs to be updated with better internet connectivity for business travelers. The a/c in my room also did not work properly. One other complaint is that the windows in my room did not complain all of the way, so mosquitos were able to enter.
