Central location and friendly staff
The owner went out of his way to ensure our comfort, offeriing to supply local cash for dinner (there is a cash crisis here) and drove us to the bus depot at no charge when our taxi didn't arrive. CouldnT have asked for a nicer host.

Central friendly accommodation in Bulawayo
We enjoyed our stay! The owner/manager was very friendly and helpful, going out of his way to send us transportation info in advance, and offering useful info about the city once we got there. The other staff members were likewise nice. The room was a bit worn, but large, clean and very comfortable. No AC, but plenty of cross-ventilation with a good fan, and lots of light. Walking distance to the town center and various dining options.

Comfortable, basic hotel with helpful owner
The rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean, even if somewhat basic. There was a problem with the water pressure, and the owner allowed us to use the shower in another room (only slightly better). Despite this we enjoyed our stay and benefitted from the help of the owner. He was Extremely helpful and nice, and is more than willing to go the extra mile. Given the difficulties of traveling in Zimbabwe, I would recommend the hotel mainly because of his help!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Hotel tired, no breakfast, but owner exceptional.
Clean, large room, in need of refurbishment, but really enjoyed stay due to owner. Took us in his car for breakfast and picked us up afterwards. Hotel, like Bulawayo itself, was in need of some love and attention. Also opened up much earlier for us as we arrived by train.
