My stay at Avani Gaborone was quite pleasant overall, with modern facilities and attentive service. The rooms were thoughtfully designed with beautiful African artwork, and the pool area was charming for both relaxation and exercise. However, some dining experiences fell short due to crowded buffet situations and limited options at times. The value for money might be questionable compared to other offerings in the area.

I had a pleasant weekend stay at Avani Gaborone. The hotel is located in a quiet area of the city and offers good value for the price with ample parking. The rooms were spacious, especially the suite we stayed in, but there were a few downsides like the carpet and lack of extra beds for kids. The breakfast experience was a bit disorganized, but the dinner buffet was much better. Overall, I would recommend it to friends and family.

I had a lovely anniversary getaway at this hotel. The stay was incredibly relaxing, and the dinner was delicious, especially the crispy crunchy chicken. However, I did have some trouble with the bed arrangement in our double room, as the two single beds kept separating throughout the night, which is something that could use improvement.

I recently stayed at AVANI Gaborone and was left feeling a bit mixed about my experience. While the hotel itself is beautiful with clean rooms and an inviting atmosphere, the service, especially during breakfast, was lacking. Though the facilities are nice, I experienced some inefficiencies that took away from the overall enjoyment of my stay.

Rooms

The rooms were clean with lovely African artwork on the walls. Despite booking a rate that included breakfast, I found myself in the back, non-renovated building, but it was still quite fine.
Service

Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. I found the staff lacking attention, especially during breakfast where help was hard to come by, and my check-out took an unnecessary long time.

The hotel's location has a nice atmosphere and is well-maintained, though the area could use some mosquito control for a more pleasant outdoor experience.

While the Mahogany restaurant served excellent food, the dining overall didn't wow me. There was limited breakfast variety despite it being included in my rate.

The Pool Bar had a nice environment but was let down by the service. It offers good amenities, yet service is quite hit and miss.

The Avani Gaborone Resort & Casino has a great location near the Government enclave and shopping areas, and the pool bar is a lovely spot to relax. However, not all rooms are up to date, with some air conditioning units struggling in the summer heat. Dining left much to be desired, particularly with the steak quality and service issues. Overall, while there are some highlights, the hotel seems to fall short of expectations given the rates.
