I've enjoyed my short stay here. The staff are friendly. It's good that the restaurant isn't bad because there isn't much of an alternative choice within walking distance. The steak I had this evening was very good. I'd recommend against the traditional food, though. I'm very fond of tongue, and I enjoyed the traditional Braised Beef Tongue. However, I have... More

Bad hotel. Everything is bad in it. Dirty personnel, elevator out of order 3 days per week. Rooms are very dirty, I have pictures: from the courtains to the bathroom. I had to ask twice to give me a soap. 130€/night for 6 days in a room with shower only ! It's not that I stayed one night only. That's... More

The President is a clean, comfortable and safe hotel slap in the centre of Gaborone. Rooms are recently refurbished and of a high standard, with good beds, bathrooms and a range of cable chanels. I found almost all the staff to be friendly and helpful. Meals (all buffet style) while a little pricey were of high standard and generous. Rather... More

The Hotel Accomodation is generally fair and its proximity to central shopping malls does make life easy. The staff are also friendly. However do not trust the price they tell you at check in. We did check in at 648 Pula per night for 6 nights however on check out we were told that the rate was increased two nights... More

I should have known to worry when, despite reconfirming in the morning, the shuttle didn't turn up to collect me at the airport that there were interesting times ahead. After waiting 45 minutes (the hotel had assured me it would be 5 more minutes a number of times) I finally caught a taxi to the hotel and tried to check... More

Greate place to stay, especially if you are working around the centre of town or near the main mall. The food is delicious and the bar is very lively on Friday and Saturday nights More

I have had many stays at this Hotel and will definitely recommend anyone who is visiting Gaborone. This is nice Business Hotel in the main area of Gaborone called Main Mall. Most convenient location for travelling to any location in and around Gaborone. The Hotel staff is warm & cordial, but people are generally slow in every work ( not... More

Decided to check out of my pre-booked Hotel in Gaborone because of poor serv ice and took myself off to the President. It is situated in the City Centre; the rooms and facilities are clean and attractive. Definitely no noise at night which is a big plus for me! Dining is good, having a varied menu and presented in a... More

Cresta was basic, but suffieicent for my needs. I stayed there for two weeks, whilst working in Gaborone. The Internet (Wifi and LAN) worked well for the first week - thereafter it 'died'. The rooms where comfortable and clean. The airconditioning only worked sometimes. The hotel resturant had nice local food (no unexpected reactions from anything). The place could do... More
