Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is clean and big, and walking to the center is easy. However, the rooms didn't have enough light and had a strange smell at times. The gym is small with limited equipment.
The hotel is conveniently situated in the center of Maun, with lovely mature shade trees and excellent facilities. The rooms, though a bit outdated, are serviceable with a good-sized walk-in cupboard. The restaurant service may be slow, but the friendly staff, especially Keabetswe, go above and beyond to assist guests in organizing their onward journeys.
The hotel is ideally located in the heart of Maun, making it convenient for visitors to access nearby shops and attractions. The rooms were well-ventilated and clean, although the noise from the kitchen could be bothersome. The service was a mix of pleasant staff and some unwelcoming behavior, but overall, they were accommodating and helpful. The dining experience offered a variety of delicious options, especially the free buffet breakfast. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall comfort of the stay.
This hotel offers a wonderful stay with clean and comfortable rooms and incredibly friendly staff. The dining experience could use a bit more variety, but overall, it's a great choice. The location is central and convenient, providing a pleasant haven for guests. The facilities are well-kept, making for a relaxing visit.
