My preferred hotel in Harare
A good hotel in a convenient part of Harare, with a convenience store and fast food chains open 24 hours a day just across the road. I took taxis sometimes from the hotel (always polite and professional) and other times with the local Rida/Ryda app. I will definitely stay there again.

Wonderful Stay, 5 Star
I had a wonderful stay at the Holiday Inn. Room was clean and bed comfortable, thanks to Vivian's small touches. Breakfast was to die for and the staff in the dining room were very accomodating, friendly and professional. No job was too big for Spencer, the driver. He is a credit to this beautiful hotel.

Bathroom floor flooded, without any assistance from Reception. Continuous noise throughout the night from an adjacent venue, which meant no sleep. Never again.

A nice hotel
I was able to meet the nice and responsible staff of the hotel. They were receptive of the constructive suggestions. I believe their rating of the service should be more than 8.5. In hope this hotel gets more attention by the visitors.

The staff are amazing. I compare this with the cresta hotel I started in when I came into the country and Holiday Inn staff are far better. The property needs a overhaul. Carpet are stained. Food is limited unless you want the buffet. The menu says they had gluten free bread. They did not. I had the veg curry. It seems to be the veg they serve in the morning put into a curry sauce.

Food is good and staff is friendly. However, the building needs a facelift. Towels and linen are also dirty. The bath tub in our room even had a very dangerous nail that can cause harm. Noise from a nightclub next door makes it very difficult to sleep.

Room was not cleaned when we were tajen to the room about 1630. Had to wait in the lobby whilst the room was being cleaned. We were offered refreshments whilst we were waiting but even just the tea took a very long time to be served. There was no butter for breakfast, asked 2/3 waiters for butter but never got it until I finally gave up having my toast
