Malcolm Lodge

Perfect stay in Harare with electricity and wifi 24/7. Great breakfast and friendly, efficient staff

After a long haul journey to Harare. Our short overnight stay at Malcom lodge on our way to Mana Pools was perfect. Paulette, Malcom and Susan were very welcoming and helpful. The rooms are spacious, well appointed and spotlessly clean. The bed was huge and very comfortable and the shower water was toasty hot. Malcolm Lodge is set in beautiful gardens and has spacious public areas to enjoy. We stayed a Sunday night when evening meals are not available so we ordered takeout from the local Thai restaurant and Malcolm Lodge provided our party of 5 with crockery and cutlery which was a great help. Paulette prepared us a tasty packed breakfast for our early start too. Highly recommend Malcolm Lodge for buildings or leisure guests in Harare. It’s a home from home.

Well, what a gem of a find! We arrived late on Sunday from a 28 hour journey from the UK, not sure of what we had booked but trusting TripAdvisor reviews. So glad we did. Paulette and Malcolm were so very welcoming from the beginning and sorted us all out calmly and efficiently. We were having a big family once in a lifetime holiday so they had to accommodate eleven of us ranging from 11 to 76 years and every decade in between! They kindly reserved a table for us at a restaurant around the corner which was exactly what we needed.ŵ We were allocated five beautiful rooms all with very comfy beds, perfect pillows for every personal peculiarity, and so very clean and airy. The decor throughout was aesthetically very pleasing and calming with subtle artwork dotted here and there that elevated the overall feel. I note some reviewers complained about hearing other guests but having been lucky enough to try a couple of rooms guest in multiple rooms owing to my daughter’s special needs I can’t say that was my experience. The first night I slept for eleven hours and did not hear a thing! It felt very safe and you can actually sleep with rooms unlocked, such is the security and feel of the place. The garden was lovely and very well maintained. At Malcolm Lodge you will find an exceptional example of hosts who bend over backwards to accommodate their guests’ needs and provide the five star services guests expect even with the constant challenge of daily setbacks faced by all Zimbabweans. It was very much appreciated. And a special thanks for the amazing breakfast provided! And eaten in such a picturesque setting. We all loved it and can’t to be back again.
