The king is gone but not dead.
This was once THE Hotel of Gaborone. We had a pleasant night of sleep not far from where we would take our bus the next morning. Price was pretty affordable too. So, the heyday is long gone but the hotel still servers well travelers like us.

Unberreable Noise
The ladies at front desk were friendly and welcoming, the room was bit and decent for the price paid. beds were reasonable size.Clean towel although they could have included a second towel. All this was spoiled by the terrible noise in the afternoon and at night. There was a church service held in the hotel that made a lot of noise, also there was music and shouting coming from behind the hotel(what sounds like a sheebeen). surprisingly the taxi rank next to the hotel doesn't generate that much noise. It also sounded like there was drilling and hammering from upstairs ( sounded like construction/renovations taking place).All in all it was terrible night we spend there

バスターミナルに面してるので安心
夜出歩くとかなり危険で、それを見越して日本の数倍の料金を吹っかけてきます。市内を乗り合いバスで移動するとき、ボツワナ国内外のバスや国内の鉄道駅もあるので、遅く帰って来ても安全で、重い荷物を持っていても気にならない。難は施設が老朽化している上にカジノもあって、夜遅くまで音楽が聞こえる。寝られないわけではない程度だが。バスランクと言えばバスでもタクシーでも連れて行ってくれる。

A MODEST HOTEL AT HALF THE PRICE TAG
Gaborone hotel is a lovely budget hotel situated near the ever bustling Rail Mall in the capital of Botswana. We had a lovely time and would certainly return. It is a nice place to stay and does not cost an arm and a leg.

Would stay again
Fantastic service from the staff. Easy access to bus rank, and the loud music stopped around 10 pm. The wifi was free and reasonably fast, but it doesn't reach most of the rooms. Works much better at the stairwell. The car from the airport was P160 (for 2 people). The car to the airport was P150 (for 2 people).

Fair
Staff are friendly but the location is noisy sometimes as loud music could be played out side the hotel at early morning.
