What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Breakfast Spread

The breakfast buffet offered a wonderful variety of options including hot egg dishes, sausages, and an array of pastries and fruits. I especially loved the warm and inviting ambiance of the restaurant during breakfast. It was a fantastic way to start each day of my stay.

Functional Gym Facilities

The gym had a basic setup with essential cardio equipment, including treadmills and stationary bikes. I appreciated having the space to myself for my early morning workouts, but I suggest they move equipment to a cooler area for a more comfortable experience.

Well-Appointed Rooms

The rooms were definitely modern and stylish, adorned with lovely African artwork. I found the USB bedside outlets and mini-fridge to be particularly useful during my stay. It made the ambiance cozy and satisfying after a long day.

Gorgeous Pool Area

The pool area was beautifully maintained with palm trees and flowering shrubs surrounding it. I enjoyed lounging on the chairs by the pool, although weekends can get a bit noisy with birthday parties, which took away from the relaxing vibe. Nonetheless, the atmosphere was pleasant for unwinding.

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.

The hotel is centrally located, making it a convenient choice for business travel, but it can also feel busy during events, which impacts the overall atmosphere.

Dining

The breakfast buffet had decent options, but the dining area got quite crowded due to concurrent events, and that made it less enjoyable.

The pool area was beautiful and well-kept, perfect for relaxation, but the gym could use some updating to improve the workout experience.

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.

Rooms

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.

The double room was spacious and clean, but the bed arrangement could definitely be better.

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

8.0

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

5.0

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.

Location

7.0

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.

Dining

6.0

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.

Facilities

7.0

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.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms were spacious and well-decorated, but some still feel outdated, and the air conditioning was inadequate for the summer heat.

Location

The location is quite convenient, close to the Government enclave and local malls, making it easy to explore Gaborone.

Dining

5.0

Dining experiences varied; while the poolside pizza was enjoyable, the overall service was poor, and the quality of some meals, like steak, was disappointing.

Facilities

The facilities are nice, particularly the pool area, which is perfect for relaxation; however, maintenance issues need attention.
