Reviews and Ratings
The hotel boasts a century-old grandeur and opulence in its extremely outdated rooms that could use a modern facelift but house excellent facilities. The service is exceptional with friendly and attentive staff, making the stay highly enjoyable. The location is terrific, offering close proximity to attractions like guided walks around the Falls. The dining experience, though buffet-style with a wide variety, falls slightly short of expectations. Overall, a mix of classic charm and great service with room for modern updates.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms were like small apartments, offering a large sitting room and a separate spacious bedroom accessed through a small dressing room. Facing the tranquil courtyard, the rooms truly exhibited the ultimate in hospitality. The service was top-notch, from the manager's personalized attention to the warm smiles from all staff members. The location was peaceful and elegant, with wildlife roaming the lawns, providing a charming escape to an earlier era. The dining experience was sumptuous, especially with the endless sparkling wine and extensive buffet offerings. The facilities were impeccable, ensuring a comfortable and luxurious stay.
The rooms are magnificent, filled with gorgeous furniture and art, offering a wonderful view over the lawns to the falls. The service is top-notch with staff exhibiting the ultimate hospitality, and the location is superior, within walking distance to the Falls, offering amazing views of the bridge. The dining experience is enjoyable with ample quantity, quality, and variety. The hotel provides a perfect oasis of calm in an African setting.
