Amazing landscape
Pros:

The landscape is breathtakingly beautiful. The cleanliness of the rooms could be improved. Fitted carpets need a bit of deep cleaning. Overall, it’s okay, but nothing spectacular inside.

Bronte always meets your expectations
Pros:

I have stayed at Bronte every time I am in Harare for the past 20 years and it has always been with peace of mind that I booked here, knowing that everything will be taken care from accommodation to Conference needs. I particularly like the guest lounge where you can have a quick meeting with your visitors in a home feel atmosphere, as if you would receive them in your own house.

Bronte Hotel Review
Pros:

I had an excellent stay at Bronte Hotel in February 2026. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, professional, and genuinely helpful. The service throughout my stay was outstanding, with quick responses to any requests. The room was spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained. I especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful garden setting, which made it easy to relax after a busy day. The location is convenient and secure, making it ideal whether you are traveling for business or leisure. The overall value for money is impressive considering the quality of the facilities and service. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Bronte Hotel to anyone visiting.

A gem in Harare
Pros:

A stay at the Bronte Garden hotel is always a pleasure. The service is very good, the room is always spick and span, the pool is refreshing after a long day's work. The surroundings of beautiful architecture, lush plants and trees and the beautiful Shona art sculptures make this my favourite hotel to stay at.

The Bronte Hotel is a very comfortable stay. Staff are friendly and helpful and the food is really good.
we stayed in the Kingsley which is the budget rooms. Everything was clean and working and comfortable with good tables to work at. The furniture/ decor is just a bit older but in good condition.

My short honeymoon stay @ Bronte Hotel
Pros:

We really loved the stay at the hotel and felt like the hotel is under advertised. I enjoyed the food at the restaurant and the full pack of the english breakfast was my highlight . I also liked the garden that is well maintained with the tall palm trees next to the pond surrounded by nicely cut green grass. Excellent for photography indeed.
