Shikim i shpejtë: A functional, business-first glass box that delivers exactly what it promises—nothing more, nothing less.
Rishikuar nga @kenzoandben: I booked this for our anniversary and the team absolutely spoiled us! Walking into the room to find towel swans and a cake was such a sweet surprise. The city views are killer, and the bed is super comfy. If you need a reliable, upscale stay in Gaborone, this is it.

FAQ & Këshilla të fshehura
Çdo gjë që do të dëshironit të dini para se të rezervoni
Is the pool heated?
No, and reviews consistently mention it is too cold to use outside of peak summer.
Is breakfast included?
Not automatically. Check your specific rate; otherwise, it's about $12 per person.
Is there a gym?
Yes, but it's basic—mostly cardio machines and light dumbbells. Serious lifters will be disappointed.
Is the area safe to walk at night?
The CBD is generally safe but very quiet and empty at night. Taxis are recommended after dark.
How is the WiFi?
Free but unsecured and speeds can vary. Bring a portable hotspot if you need a secure connection.
Do they offer room service?
Yes, typically until 10:00 PM, with a limited overnight menu.
