May 3, 2023 Sachiko Swiger

Providing a respite to travelers trekking the north of Botswana, Gaborone is a young metropolis that experienced most of its boom with the discovery of diamonds in the 1970s. Its downtown is dominated by modern buildings and services, from glittering hotels to casinos. The Main Mall boasts a plethora of shops, while the surrounding area hosts monuments and government buildings. Monkeys and birds call out from the wetlands of Gaborone Game Reserve, and Kgale Hill delights with panoramic views.

Great stay

Reviewed By avande806521

We have stayed at City Mews a number of times before so we obviously like the place. But we have to say that this last time was very good! Everyone was so helpful and went out of their way to assist with everything we needed. It was a work trip but we also had our kids with us and they made everything very easy and went beyond the expected. We will be back!

Overnight Stop

Reviewed By adventuresofLa

Had to stay in Gaborone overnight to catch a flight to Johannesburg. My parents stayed as well to drop me off. Downstairs rooms 5 and 6 both have queen beds which are extremely comfortable. The rooms open onto the pool area. This is a wonderful place to stay. Staff are friendly and helpful. It’s fairly close to Airport Junction Shopping Mall (approximately 6km) and the airport is approximately 11km away. Everything at the Accomodation is well kept, clean and there is ample parking. I highly recommend overnighting here if you’re in Gaborone for a stop over for the airport, on business, on a shopping trip or just looking for a place to take time out for a night or two (my parents booked an extra night after dropping me at the airport!)

It's an okay Hotel

Reviewed By Samsammat

They are not too pricey, reception staff was friendly, helpful and welcoming. They need to improve their housekeeping though, my room was not made up for the whole day because i was in the conference with my key, there should be a copy or master key for the hotel. The housekeeping staff also needs to do a better job and respond promptly to customer requests. We had also booked a buffet lunch but they ran out of food, which also wasn't all that good. The second day the food was so much better. Overall, my experience was just okay, if you are looking for an affordable place you could definitely check them out.

Decent Accomodation and Cheap

Reviewed By Thusinaka

Very Clean Hotel Checked in the hotel for 14 days. The staff are very polite . the rooms are also so clean and sparkling. The bad thing about it is the lack of lunch and dinner facility. You are compelled to ise Riverwalk mall or their sister hotel Oasis. They only offer breakfast which of very low standard. I think they should up their game with regards to breakfast.
