Pros:

Las instalaciones del hotel tienen todo el potencial para ser un buen hotel lo que pasa es que es muy viejo y se quedo en los años 70 , si lo renuevan y modernizan les ira mejor

Cons:

todo es muy demorado pero es una actitud muy general en el continente Africano y el personal del hotel no son la excepcion

Pros:

The hotel was conveniently located for us; not far from the Livingston airport, Devil's Pool (Zambia) and the Zimbabwe border. The buffet breakfast had a satisfactory variety of choices. The best feature for us was the helpfulness of Mwiche who was of great help arranging hotel-provided and private taxi service. Without her we would have spent much time trying to figure out how to arrange taxi service at a reasonable price; particularly to cross border into Zimbabwe. Thanks Mwiche!

Pros:

Cons:

So WiFi wasn't stable.
Not sure about hygiene in the room.

Exceptional hospitality and excellent stay
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel and were particularly impressed by the exceptional hospitality of Allan and his team. From the moment we arrived, they were friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive to our needs. They often checked in to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated their flexibility and generosity in allowing us a complimentary late check-out at no additional cost. This was a thoughtful gesture that made our stay even more convenient and enjoyable.

The hotel's location is also excellent, right at the heart of the city, making it very convenient to access the main attractions, restaurants, and other amenities.

Overall, the combination of the excellent location, comfortable stay, and outstanding service from Allan and his team made our experience very pleasant. We would happily recommend the hotel and look forward to staying there again.

Cons:

Nothing.

New Fairmount Hotel was a great place to stay
Pros:

Liked that they have transport arrangements to the hotel as it was our first time in Livingstone. Our family room was nice and spacious.
