Colonial beauty in the heart of the CBD

Beautiful rooms in a hotel in the heart of the Bulawayo CBD. Service from staff was excelleny and the food fantastic. Breakfast options were limited to full English breakfast. Hotel environs were not good but this is symptomatic of the CBD as a whole.

The Bulawayo Club is a delightful setting and a fascinating building offering a look into a very specific part of Bulawayo history. It does suffer a little from some ageing plumbing in some of the rooms. The location and the history of the building are fantastic. Dinner was great, although you need to be patient. Sitting by the fountain in the small courtyard was very pleasant. The staff were great and attentive. This is “dated elegance”!

The club is beautiful and the staff are superb. Cant speak highly enough. Especially Reginald at the front desk. The surrounding is typical noisy, dirty africa. Although certainly not as bad as Harare! But the Club is a quiet clean friendky oasis. Wonderful place to stay

The Bulawayo Club is an old gentlemen’s club converted into a hotel. The building is gorgeous and there is a lot of history on display. It is pretty noisy during the day due to its location in the center of downtown but it is very quiet at night. Wonderful staff and spare but nice rooms.

Nice stay in a historic building

Overall my stay went very well. Staff was very kind and ready to assist, the breakfast included was simple but tasty and the restaurant also provides quality. The room was comfy and spacious. The only drawback was that my room faced the main street which was very busy and noisy both Saturday and Sunday night. Monday was perfect though.

7 night stay in Bulawayo

I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone wanting to stay in Bulawayo. The service from the staff is second to none, they will go above and beyond for any and all inquiries, whether it was for help with sim cards and any Zimbabwe specific adapters, to arranging trips and taxis to the Matapos or anywhere else. Likewise the food at the restaurant and for breakfast was very good, especially the breakfast. Although the steak may be considered pricey by local standards, paying $17 for a room service steak that was delicious and available late at night was a level of service beyond what i was expecting. The one downside to the whole property were the showers. Not an issue for me as i take baths, but if you take showers the nozzle looked pretty dated and I’m not sure getting the temperature right would be an easy task, albeit I didn’t try, just an observation. Place is gated for those with any security concerns, although the idea is fine, no sense of danger, as a male, can walk the streets at night as a foreigner without any drama. Lastly, id you’re a rugby fan, a trip through the members area on the way to breakfast will become a 15 minute perusal of the history of rugby in Zimbabwe and Matabeleland, incredible memorabilia collection. All in all, for value for money and enjoyment, I don’t think I’ve ever stayed at a better hotel in my life, would undoubtedly stay here again if i ever find myself in Bulawayo.
