Peermont Walmont at the Grand Palm, Gaborone

"We had an email confirming the Grand Palm Walmont shuttle would meet us at the Gaborone Airport. But it didn’t arrive so we had to find our own way to the hotel which wasn’t an easy task. Definitely not a good start for our Grand Palm hotel stay. I had a large, two room suite which was actually two single rooms connected by an adjoining door. It provided me with two bathrooms, a comfortable bedroom and a rather congested TV and lounge room. The ‘Grand Palm’ hotel is no longer grand because it’s looking quite tired and outdated. There are numerous issues that need fixing or repairing to help rejuvenate it again. The following list is incomplete but it gives some idea about the annoying issues I encountered. Lights not working in an already dark room Power points not working USB sockets not charging phones Shower heating difficult to manage Toilet cistern not refilling in a timely manner Room phones not connecting to reception desk or outside lines Wifi connections were unreliable TV connected to only several analog channels without internet for digital A ‘transport desk’ which was never operational No concierge service Fortunately Pindai provided invaluable assistance at the reception desk when I required outside phone lines for transport and flight issues. There were no nearby restaurants so we relied on the several hotel restaurants for all meals. The breakfast buffet was excellent and was even kept open longer on Gaborone Marathon day to cater for late race finishers. Other restaurant areas provide a range of meals but I wouldn’t recommend the smoky pizza from the pool restaurant. Despite its many quirks I’d stay there again. But it’s no longer a 4 star hotel now the glitz has faded."

African Home Hotel

"The hotel is perfectly located in Gaborone, close to all the major places and sites worth seeing in the Capital. A walking distance to the Three Dikgosi Monument and Fields Mall. I liked this convenience that the hotel offered. The hotel also has plenty of rooms, over 14 and has a Spa, conference venues and a restaurant. There is also a pool inside and the main entrance is guarded with security personnel. Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed by a gentleman named Sebalo, who also adjusted my booking to a room that he recommended, has better Wifi connectivity, to which I agreed. I appreciated this as the Wifi in the Kgosi room was good during my stay. I also liked that I had covered parking, which I didn't need to pre-book, located close to the room. I also had a decent breakfast for all the days here, prepared promptly and with care by a lady called Violet. I welcomed this value for money aspect to my stay. She was very friendly, warm and tried by all means to vary the breakfast options and presentation on all three days which I appreciated. The room was spacious, had adequate lighting, Aircon, LCD tv, coffee station and kettle and enough mirrors all round. There were also enough bins in the room, an extra blanket and the bedding was clean. There was a desk and chair, which ensured that I could spend some time catching up on my reading in the room. There was no safe and I had to arrange my own twin plug, which was not an issue. The toilet was separate from the shower which I liked and there was shampoo available. Clean towels were on offer, regularly.replaced and room service was offered. The hotel was peaceful and I did not experience any major distractions. I also liked that I paid once I got to the hotel and that no deposit was withheld. Where I think the hotel could have scored more for me was in the following - there was no info-welcome sheet in the room that orientated me to the rules of the hotel, wifi password, breakfast times, lunch or dinner, important emergency numbers and nearby sites worth seeing for instance which is common in most hotels. I had to ask many of these and Sebalo was of assistance. I feel that the hymn sheet would have made it much easier. I found a booklet about sites to see in Gaborone close to the reception area, which I only saw and made use of during breakfast. Those booklets can be placed in the rooms as a suggestion. The bed was not comfortable at all for me and there were some small insects here and there in the room which was not pleasant to see. This is where the hotel dropped points from me. I believe that if the hotel works on these few items, it could do better. However, the service I received from Sebalo and Violet, together with the convenience of the location, shaded parking, breakfast and good wifi in the room, made the stay decent overall. "

The Grand Aria Hotel and Conference Centre

"The only reason this review gets 3 stars is thanks to the wonderful staff. This hotel is a noise box. Not only does it face a plethora of motors from the shopping center adjacent to it but the hotel itself is stagerringly noisy. Outside my window I counted at least 18 airconditioner motors spewing noise. On my floor, the motor noise from the end of the passage was also loud. I could not open the window of my room as it would be an assault to my senses. I had to resort to switching on my aircon. The fan from my bathroom was so loud and permanently on. And the final straw was the mega extractor on the roof of the kitchen. The grounds are beautiful but cannot be enjoyed as it feels as if you're in the middle of a runway. The staff and particularly the manager tried his best to get me a room that was quiet but alas! that is not possible in that hotel. I could not wait to leave."

Phakalane Golf Estate Hotel & Convention Centre

"Our 2-week stay at Phakalane Golf Estate Hotel was like home away from home. The setting is beautiful and private, the property is secure, and the accommodations are nicely appointed. The staff are second to none. EVERYONE was caring and very accommodating to requests. The manager is very generous and regularly checks on the needs of guests. We ate at the two restaurants throughout our stay and enjoyed the meals. We found it most helpful to inquiry as to how foods are prepared before ordering. There is shopping and restaurants nearby, as is the airport. The estate is quiet and serene. There are a few different styles of rooms that will accommodate any request. We loved having 2 bathrooms! The hotel was very clean and well-kept, Even areas that presented aging. The rooms are very clean and we found the housekeeping staff to be top notch. If you are a golfer, the greens are spectacular. My family looks forward to returning."
