“The building whispers stories of Bulawayo's past, with its mahogany décor and gentleman's club air; its central spot puts the city's attractions within easy reach, like the Natural History Museum. I found its character compelling, blending old-world charm with modern needs, though street-facing rooms might catch some city noise. It's a spot for those who appreciate history woven into their stay.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the Bulawayo Club's museum-quality furniture and its embodiment of a traditional English club ambiance. Many find the central location ideal for exploring the city, while also appreciating the quietness of rooms at the back. The generous and valuable breakfast is frequently mentioned as a highlight, and services like laundry are considered excellent; however, some guests have noted the shower pressure could be improved. The open-roof restaurant with its central fountain also stands out as a beautiful design feature, ensuring many plan to return.

overall, a decent experience

friendly staff quiet rooms bad pressure dull lighting

i found the staff very friendly and helpful. the rooms at the backside were also quiet, even though the hotel is in the busy city center.

The shower pressure was very bad. I noticed no music in the bar or restaurant. dull lighting in public areas also detracted from the ambiance.
