Staff were very friendly and helpful. The receptionist, Reginald, helped me organise an excellentvtaxi friver for a day trip.in the surrounding area.
I stayed in winter and the room was freezing cold, too cold to sit in the room and no heaters were avaiable. Extra blankets were provided for the bed

Colonial beauty in the heart of the CBD
Pros:

Beautiful rooms in a hotel in the heart of the Bulawayo CBD. Service from staff was excelleny and the food fantastic. Breakfast options were limited to full English breakfast. Hotel environs were not good but this is symptomatic of the CBD as a whole.

Pros:

The Bulawayo Club is a delightful setting and a fascinating building offering a look into a very specific part of Bulawayo history. It does suffer a little from some ageing plumbing in some of the rooms. The location and the history of the building are fantastic. Dinner was great, although you need to be patient. Sitting by the fountain in the small courtyard was very pleasant. The staff were great and attentive. This is “dated elegance”!

Pros:

The club is beautiful and the staff are superb. Cant speak highly enough. Especially Reginald at the front desk. The surrounding is typical noisy, dirty africa. Although certainly not as bad as Harare! But the Club is a quiet clean friendky oasis. Wonderful place to stay

Nice stay in a historic building
Pros:

Overall my stay went very well. Staff was very kind and ready to assist, the breakfast included was simple but tasty and the restaurant also provides quality. The room was comfy and spacious. The only drawback was that my room faced the main street which was very busy and noisy both Saturday and Sunday night. Monday was perfect though.
