I was more than impressed by the facility. It met all my expectation. The staff were so courteous and helpful. I did get value for my money and would definitely come back. The facilities compliment and promote African culture while allowing you access to many modern amenities. Kudos

The David is a lovely hotel, if you stay here your experience will be truly unforgettable. My room was spacious, clean, and had a breathtaking view of the Zambezi river. The staff were super helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend taking the sunset cruise and coordinating your excursions with their onsite concierge.

Beautiful hotel right in the river with exceptional staff. Rooms could use an update but the beds and linens very comfortable and nice quality. Difficult to get anywhere from the hotel as it’s not walkable.

Bug Spray Required
The staff were helpful and attentive. The rooms were all clean and comfortable though showing age. The air conditioner worked (Hurray!) and no monkeys found the way into our room. The restaurant food was well prepared and timely served. The variety of drinks and such were sufficient.He selections for vegetarians were slim and for vegan pretty much non-existent. A gluten free vegan would have pretty much been left to a salad. But the kitchen knows its market. The "chips" were called "fries" and the ketchup was Heinz. The burgers came with bacon and didn't pretend to be something special. The biggest "surprise" which may have been simply my mistake is that (1) the tip is included in the bill when you charge it to the room (doesn't reflect on the restaurant receipt) so I ended up tipping twice; and (2) the "airport transfer" was neither free nor arranged without hassle. I had to pay half again more than taxi rate to go there and back. So, as the Gen Z might say ..."my bad" . The riverfront location is marvelous but as with all things on the Zambezi the biting insects were not nearly as charming. Bring real bug spray (100% DEET) and plenty of it. The dining rooms are all outside exposed to the elements.

Terrible experience
I stayed in this hotel for two nights as soon I arrived in my room, I have noticed no wifi signal and I reported to front desk. Front desk said IT person will be there shortly. No one showed up, I had to do some work so after waiting for him a while, I decided to go in lobby and perform my work. Next day I told them again about my situation and they said they are fixing it. I told manager on duty to come with me in my room to see for himself. He spent 30 minutes trying to explain to his IT with the situation and they came around 1030PM on my last night to provide me with hotspot which I will not need at this point. If you are on business trip, stay away from these folks...

I had the Riverside suite and it was lovely and large, although the spa pool was unheated, and the river was barely visible through the trees. I did enjoy the visit from the vervet monkeys, and the staff were super friendly, especially the Activities center staff. Also had a great massage. Lovely place to stay.
