“Convenient but level of service did not match very high prices”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2011

1. Staff were welcoming and friendly.
2. I asked for a quiet room, instead was given one with a connecting door to a noisy couple in a suite next door.
3. Staff were not properly informed about the internet, which to their surprise I managed to get to work, reasonable connection.
4. Food was mediocre and very limited choice. More a la carte choices needed and more options for vegetarians.
5. Nice pool although very small.
6. Constant problems with the electronic door lock swipe cards.
7. Batteries needed replacing in TV remote.
8. Margarine for breakfast - surely at this price we could have butter??

If this hotel were $70 per night I would consider it reasonable value. However the quality of service and attention to detail just did not match the expensive $140 price tag for international guests ($100 for Zimbabweans, I think).

“Its a beautiful place which is loosing its touch”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2011

The room service there stole my phone only to realise it when I reached Harare. I was so hurt because I was so relaxed that I was in a safe beautiful place but eish I was wrong. To make matters worse it had all my memories my son's pictures and videos I was meant to download them in Mutare.. I called hospitality and they promised to call back and I am still waiting. Am so dissappointed in Holiday Inn so to all my friends just take caution.

“The Hospitality at Holiday Inn is the best... believe me!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2010

We really had a wonderful time. The services were superb, well above board. I am grateful for the staff especially Dorothy Tubulo-Liaya. She is just excellent. Infact the whole staff is cheerful, save for one guy from the Accounts Department who was very rude when we wanted to collect our change. AIDS Among US will continue to give you business. The rooms are excellent!! Thank you guys.

“Very friendly staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2009

the hotel structure is generally good in terms of Zimbabwean standards. Food and Beverage experience would need slight improvement. Management and staff are quite friendly, cheerful and very welcoming
