Reviews and Ratings
I was delighted with the hotel's amazing location right on the Zambezi river, offering stunning African views. The rooms were impressively clean and had a great view from the balconies. The service was top-notch, providing excellent room service and helpful tours/ticket assistance. The dining experience with included fresh cream cakes was a delightful treat. On the downside, the hotel seems a bit away from the central town area and lacks some modern facilities.
The hotel offers a charming blend of African aesthetics, showcasing a picturesque view of the Zambezi river. The rooms are spacious and modern, providing an inviting atmosphere. The service is attentive and accommodating, ensuring a comfortable stay. However, the dining options are somewhat limited, and the Wi-Fi is available at an extra cost.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with amazing views from the balcony and a serene atmosphere by the river. The service was excellent, and the dining experience was delightful with delicious grilled and boiled fish. However, the facilities could be improved for a more luxurious experience.
Staying at this hotel was a real treat! The rooms had a great view, were equipped with air conditioning, and some even had balconies to enjoy. The service was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. The location by the Zambezi river provided stunning African views, perfect for peaceful evenings watching the sunset. Dining was included and offered the best pizza around. I found the facilities top-notch, with everything I needed at my fingertips.
