I had a lovely stay at this hotel. Very warmly welcomed by both Grace & Gamuchirai who are delightful. I really enjoyed the restaurant area and the ability to have my breakfast outside beside the bubbling brook was just fantastic. The food was exceptional and I particularly liked the banana yoghurt which I don't see very often in the UK. My room was nice-quite basic that it had all the amenities that I could ask for. Importantly, it was secure and I felt safe. I was in room 137 and note that the lock from the inside was not working so that needs repairing. Lovely shower and very nice shampoos etc The Wi-Fi throughout the hotel is pretty good I would stay here again if I was staying for a short visit but might look for something more rustic such as a large if I was there for longer just so I could experience the African vibe. The shuttle service was excellent Thanks everyone

Spacious and clean, very quiet. I liked the old man who welcomed me and took me to my room, he was very nice and checkout he did the same. Food was nicely prepared but there was little variety- e.g. no chicken sausages at breakfast,

Travelled with group
Check-in desk was chaos and it seemed this led to my check-in not getting fully complete or something as I had a staffer and another guest try to open my room door at 11pm at night and wake me up as I had bolted the door. Then as I was trying to get back to sleep, the front desk called me to confirm who was in the room as they clearly had no idea. That plus a loud dance party that went on until 10:30pm ensured there wasn't a restful nights sleep. The lack of proper check-in also explained why my wifi login with my room details wouldn't work. Security on the rooms felt a bit sub-par. The balcony door lock was not the best and seemed loose. The room door at least had a bolt (which worked as I discovered). The restaurant staff were nice but then we had issues trying to pay as they didn't want to take some of the US dollar bills that our party had claiming they couldn't accept those serial numbers or something. This is utterly baffling as the bills were valid US dollars and even on researching the Bank of Zimbabwe has an issued statement saying businesses shouldn't be refusing certain bills because they're too old or whatever. This ended up in lots of chaos trying to pay our bill when the card machine wouldn't work in the restaurant area as the signal from the front desk (where the router is) was not strong enough. Overall, wouldn't really recommend unless you lacked other places to stay in Harare.
