Great service especially from Thato and a great stay

Reviewed By 45nishk

I stayed at the hotel for a few weeks whilst on business. I found the level of service to be really high - the receptionists, waiters, housekeepers - everyone was really attentive, friendly and happy to help however they could. I found one of the waiting staff, Thato to be especially great! She was always on hand to help me with questions I had about Botswana, things to do in Gaborone and which food to try. She was always very personable and made my stay much better!

Ticked the box

Reviewed By middlegam

One night stay for a recent biz visit. Collected by Dan at airport, very friendly and helpful chap, who remembered our names the next day upon check out. Efficient check in, room typical Hilton style, although the room I had didn’t contain the basics of bottled water / soap, house keeping clearly forgot. Aircon good, breakfast great, good location. Not many people staying so bar didn’t have any vibe of an evening so went across road for dinner. Staff in general really good. Would stay again.

Exceptional staff / average hotel. The shower pressure was extremely low and strangely we were given only one towel (there were two of us) each day. The restaurant was closer to being a school canteen, but the location was great as was the guarded off-street parking.

Marriott Needs to Send a Team Down Here Quick

Reviewed By jameshS7223UI

Find it hard to believe this place is affiliated with the Marriott Hotel chain. Since I arrived I have had to report issues each day and these are not minor ones. Broken A/C resulted in having to move rooms. Freezing cold water when taking showers and shaving in sink. Broken windows in rooms (severe cracks), unknown bugs crawling out from gaps around wall covers. I requested an iron and ironing board as the rooms apparently do not come with a set. I tried to set up the board and it collapsed on my finger because it was missing a screw to hold the legs in place. Mold and gaps all around the tub/shower enclosures. And the tub itself is difficult to step out of as it is approximately a 20-22 inch high tub and it is difficult to climb out with one foot and try to lift your other leg out, and hopefully not slip on the floor. This stay is for another five days and I am wondering what else will go wrong.

Manong Game Lodge

Not what we expected!

Reviewed By Jomar2307

We chose to stay here for one night travelling through Botswana from Zimbabwe to South Africa. On arrival at the gate we were 'greeted' by a very rude man and if we'd had a choice after a 7 hour drive we would have found an alternative. However we persevered and on finally gaining entry found the rest of the staff to be very friendly. The accommodation is very clean but more like a motel than a game lodge, with every room facing into the centre rather than out to the surroundings. We wanted to do a game drive but they weren't doing one that afternoon and we had to leave before the one in the morning. We then decided to have a drink on the viewing deck but that was closed as someone had booked it for a private meal. We then wanted a meal but most of the options weren't available. I had a salad, which was nice and fresh, my husband had the ribs but wasn't impressed. The morning breakfast was a buffet which was OK but not very warm. We left early and didn't stop to talk to the rude man on the gate. We won't go back?

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!
