Very nice place

Is easy to go around because is not far from the interested points, so I basic walked everywhere but the location is not good, it's in a bus central, so is always full of people, bus and cars, completly busy and messy! Is affordable, so if you have short budget and time I think it won't be too bad, but if you have a longer time in Gaborone, I don't recomend.

A bit disappointing. Aircon not working. Not given TV remote, so was unable to watch TV. No toilet soap or towel in bathroom.

Very basic hotel, but certainly worth it for the money. Dont be put off by the market directly outside, youre not far from the centre and its very walkable!

This was once THE Hotel of Gaborone. We had a pleasant night of sleep not far from where we would take our bus the next morning. Price was pretty affordable too. So, the heyday is long gone but the hotel still servers well travelers like us.

The ladies at front desk were friendly and welcoming, the room was bit and decent for the price paid. beds were reasonable size.Clean towel although they could have included a second towel. All this was spoiled by the terrible noise in the afternoon and at night. There was a church service held in the hotel that made a lot of noise, also there was music and shouting coming from behind the hotel(what sounds like a sheebeen). surprisingly the taxi rank next to the hotel doesn't generate that much noise. It also sounded like there was drilling and hammering from upstairs ( sounded like construction/renovations taking place).All in all it was terrible night we spend there

I really enjoyed every second of my stay at Gaborone Hotel,the service was very Good and the place is very safe because they operate 24 hours and i also liked the fact that it is very closed to the Malls...

夜出歩くとかなり危険で、それを見越して日本の数倍の料金を吹っかけてきます。市内を乗り合いバスで移動するとき、ボツワナ国内外のバスや国内の鉄道駅もあるので、遅く帰って来ても安全で、重い荷物を持っていても気にならない。難は施設が老朽化している上にカジノもあって、夜遅くまで音楽が聞こえる。寝られないわけではない程度だが。バスランクと言えばバスでもタクシーでも連れて行ってくれる。

Gaborone hotel is a lovely budget hotel situated near the ever bustling Rail Mall in the capital of Botswana. We had a lovely time and would certainly return. It is a nice place to stay and does not cost an arm and a leg.

4/10

Ceiling fan and air conditioning, nice double bed, main tv channels, no internet, bar is limited

6/10

Okay Nothing special

2/10

6/10

The Gaborone Hotel is right next to the bus rank.
