All that we saw was impressive and aesthetic. Our room was spacious and bed itself just right to sleep after a busy day. Front of house staff and the service team in the dining area were all smiles and helpful I cannot fault them. Could do with a better taxi link for customers to avoid rouge drivers from major pick up points.

Nice renovations

I was pleasantly surprised by the well-done recent renovations at Cresta Churchill. We booked suites which were a great value and included a separate (no door) sitting area with a couch, second tv, desk and mini fridge. Rooms were very comfortable and had ample plugs with built in converters and usb outlets. Wifi was sufficient. Bathrooms were well appointed. My colleague's fridge smelled like it was overheating which was a bit of a concern but we just unplugged it. Could also hear a bit of noise from the plumbing from other rooms but nothing major. Our suites were on the third floor with no lift, which may present problems for some. Check-in wasn't very smooth--they did not have our reservations (from hotels.com) and we had to present the printouts, but they were not near full and let us checkin very early (9am after arriving on an international flight) which was very welcomed. The cold breakfast buffet wasn't great, but Zim is having a tough time on imports at present so it wasn't too unexpected, and the hot options for breakfast were good. Dinner was fine but not the best quality meat and quite expensive for what you got (if you paid in USD). Hotel is a bit removed from town but we didn't mind and it was a quiet area. Overall a good stay and option for Bulawayo, despite some minor issues.

Satisfactory stay

Generally OK, but we were kept waiting rather too long at reception on arrival, no-one offered to help with our bags and the restaurant said it wasn't authorised to add our meals to the hotel bill. Minor points, but all adding up to something less than full satisfaction.

this is an old hotel with history like most places in Zimbabwe the grandeur has faded a bit but it is very clean and reasonably well kept. The staff staff is wonderful and proper lifting up the premisis and made it a nice place to stay. I wouldn't worry about being outside of town you just stand on the road and a honda fit will roll by honk it's horn and you jump in and for 50 cents you are in town in a few minutes. This shared taxi works great. The wifi was excellent better than any we have had in souther Africa. The bar and restaurant reasonable. There is a supermarket a couple doors down if you want to stock up on snacks. We had a good stay I was also happy they arranged my airport pickup by email! I would definitely return.

Wouldn't stay again.

Rather tired, nothing obviously wrong but not a good feel. The hotel offers "complementary" transfers to the airport but wanted to charge us $30. Lunch was offered at $2 for beef stew and £3 for oxtail. Warm, not particularly tasty but when the bill came they wanted $3 and $4 respectively. Breakfast offered a limited buffet choice. My cooked breakfast, no fried eggs, was barely luke warm; they offered to heat it up but it came back the same temperature. Decided to make bacon sandwich but the bread was stale. No toast.

Vihrea rauhallinen ymparisto

Hotelli oli rauhallinen ja viihtyisa.Ymparisto puutarhamaisen vihrea. Intercape sleepliner matkan jalkeen nukuin hyvin.Hyva aamiainen ja illallinen. Hotellilla oli kaynnissa patjanvaihdot kahden sangyn huoneisiin. Tietokoneettomalle ei internet mahdollisuutta. Hotellitaksi oli kallis, mutta minua oltiin nimikyltein vastassa vaikka Etela-Afrikasta saapuva bussini oli 2 tuntia myohassa. Kiitos!
