I have wanted to stay at Sunbird since 1990 but could never afford it. Possibly my last trip to Malawi I thought I would treat myself. I was very disappointed. The hotel is run down and the restaraunt had after 3 selections not one available. If returning to Mzuzu I will book at the Grand Palace as much better value for money

The staff was amazing and extremely accommodating. The facility was very clean and security was great. Love the restaurant inside the hotel. Additionally, love the currency exchange inside the hotel.

Comfortable Stay

The breakfast offering needs to improve , the dinner food quality is good but the breakfast options are not good and the preparation needs to improve and quality needs an improvement. The rooms are comfortable and clean, old school but very comfortable.

Good compared with other hotels in town. However, one can notice decline in conditions.

Central hotel chain great for business traveler

Great hotel close to the center of town. We had to take taxis to dinner, but they were not expensive - 2000 to 4000 kwacha. The hotel staff was very friendly and the breakfast was great with fresh Mzuzu coffee in a french press. The gym was also perfect for an after-work treadmill run. The hotel is part of a chain in Malawi - it is a bit dated but it was comfortable and a nice place to come back after long days of traveling in the car. It's probably the most expensive place in the area so probably more appropriate for business travelers. We went out for dinner every night.

Nice hotel in Mzuzu

THere are not many options in Mzuzu. THis is a 1970s hotel, so a bit dated in that sense, but v friendly staff, fantastic breakfast, wifi mostly ok and they have back up generators (electricity goes off often in Mzuzu).

Only Hotel we could find in Mzuzu

Although quite impersonal, and the room could do with a good clean , had one of the best nights sleep in large twin bed. Room a bit small & sound proofing not complete. Nice staff & good breakfast Buffett & home made bread!

Only hotel in town

The Sunbird is ok value for money, nothing more nothing less. The building was built in 1979 and some of the original fittings etc remain. Bathrooms have been recently refurbished and are in good condition. Staff were all very friendly and breakfast was also of a good standard.
