Protea Hotel Gaborone Masa Square

"Been here as long term resident for around 4 months now, went home for 2 week break, returned to find they had extended someone in the room which i had already booked. Now they stuck me in a terrible disgusting room until the original is free again. The view outside the window is highly disgusting full of birds nests and piles of bird poop everywhere. Shocking way to treat a long term guest , I will be looking over at the Hotel 430 again, a little more expensive but at least they do not give your booked room out to anyone else while your gone for a break."

The Capital Guest House

"I got my taxi from the airport and he couldn’t find the house. it was 4:00. I text the property owner but never got response. i just found the Hilton water discussing with driver where are you going tofu d place to eat and walk to. You are in the Bush he said. so i was afraid and beer went."

Peermont Walmont at the Grand Palm, Gaborone

"We had an email confirming the Grand Palm Walmont shuttle would meet us at the Gaborone Airport. But it didn’t arrive so we had to find our own way to the hotel which wasn’t an easy task. Definitely not a good start for our Grand Palm hotel stay. I had a large, two room suite which was actually two single rooms connected by an adjoining door. It provided me with two bathrooms, a comfortable bedroom and a rather congested TV and lounge room. The ‘Grand Palm’ hotel is no longer grand because it’s looking quite tired and outdated. There are numerous issues that need fixing or repairing to help rejuvenate it again. The following list is incomplete but it gives some idea about the annoying issues I encountered. Lights not working in an already dark room Power points not working USB sockets not charging phones Shower heating difficult to manage Toilet cistern not refilling in a timely manner Room phones not connecting to reception desk or outside lines Wifi connections were unreliable TV connected to only several analog channels without internet for digital A ‘transport desk’ which was never operational No concierge service Fortunately Pindai provided invaluable assistance at the reception desk when I required outside phone lines for transport and flight issues. There were no nearby restaurants so we relied on the several hotel restaurants for all meals. The breakfast buffet was excellent and was even kept open longer on Gaborone Marathon day to cater for late race finishers. Other restaurant areas provide a range of meals but I wouldn’t recommend the smoky pizza from the pool restaurant. Despite its many quirks I’d stay there again. But it’s no longer a 4 star hotel now the glitz has faded."
