“Very nice place, value for money. I will come back again”
Very good facilities: the rooms are tidy and modern. A few improvements in the bathrooms with leaks in showroom and hardly working flashing system

“This is an efficient, clean and friendly hotel to stay in. I will stay there on future visits.”
I was warned by the organisation I was representing at an event not to stay there. They were wrong. The staff have been trained exceptionally well and are customer focused. Every employee greets you and asks how you are. The hotel was very clean. The rooms are comfortable and themselves clean. There is free parking which is an advantage because of the Bulawayo councils very aggressive parking employees who force you to pay even if there for a second. The check in experience was fast and friendly.
