As compared to international standards, the hotel is showing its age. It does have an old world British charm but the rooms do need to be renovated. One of the wings is under renovation, so this should improve shortly. The food at the hotel was good, service was great nothing to complain about. The lobby is very nice and the... More

I stayed at the hotel for almost 4-5 months while I was at Harare for work. I had never imagined such a warm reception and such helpful people. The high tea snacks are absolutely recommended. You can also not miss the lovely buffet breakfast spread. At the hotel's restaurant, you should hear the lovely jazz music on Friday's and mind... More

I stayed for 3 nights at this magnificent hotel in January 2012. It's definitely the best hotel I have stayed in southern Africa. Location is central Harare. Ideal to explore the city from the hotel . There is secure free parking for residents. The foyer is well laid out and beautiful. The staff very professional and helpful. The rooms were... More

The hotel definitely gives you the idea that you stepped 50 years back into time … Everything is old except for the LCD screen ;) Quite luxurious but old / Quite Expensive Please note that this was my first trip to Africa so I am quite inexperienced More

there may not be many other options in Harare (I haven´t tried actually) but this hotel is very expensive for the really poor quality of the rooms and service. On the good side, the staff is friendly. On the bad side: expensive, very poorly maintained rooms, bland breakfast, very (and especially at the main restaurant on the first floor) bad... More

My room was gorgeous and not tired at all, and the rest of the public areas of the hotel also seemed quite well tended. I was treated with a great welcome and very professionally. I made plans for a weekend excursion and the woman who helped me was fantastic, finding an option that fit my limited time. The business center... More

Its give a classy touch with the amazing interiors and the restaurant La Fontaine is like a cherry on the... More

Although it's clear not much investment has been made in the hotel for a while, it still felt very homely and the staff couldn't do enough for you. The rooms were very good and the restaurant (La Fontaine) very good indeed. This is truly a nice, comfortable, friendly hotel and I would recommend it without hesitation More
