The hotel is 6 star in name only. It has all the services of a 5 star hotel presented in a drab outdated environment. The decor and rooms are drab. Some one seems to have made an effort to paint the corridors, but the paint spilled on to the windows with lines showing. This is a place i would not recommend.

Clean environment polite staff. Good didn’t taste fresh chicken wings started dry and tasted very old. Some Staff cooking serving food we’re picking food and eating , saw a few of them eating while we sat and eat our food. If they were not eating right there? They served themselves in a plate and went into a room next door to eat…. But started eating before they even got into that room or closed door. Staff did not have change of $4 on my first night and promised to pass it on to the next staff tomorrow to give me my change? I tried to get my $4 change next day and no one knew about it so. The hotels owes me $4 change. Overall good hotel clean and comfortable

Stay was fine overall but what we don't get is why the staff ask multiple times if everything is okay (and then do exactly nothing about any of it). Hot water was out one morning and took all day for them to fix with no explanation.

Most of the staff were good. What I didn't like is was supposed to check out 10am but to my suprise when I went for breakfast staff entered my room. My property was still there they stripped the bed and it was before 10am. How can staff enter my room whilst I was still there without my approval.

The hotel facilities are quite outdated and in need of significant renovations. The rooms, however, are spacious, clean, and feature comfortable beds. One issue is the absence of air conditioning, which can be problematic. Although the hotel's central location in town is convenient, it is situated next to a park that hosted a noisy event with loud music for most of the day on Saturday.

Highly recommended. The service is spectacular. The staff sincerely care and want you to be comfortable. There is a choice of restaurants and all are of high quality. There is a lovely view of Harare Gardens from most rooms I enjoyed my stay and wouldn't hesitate to return.

Sadly, the Monomatapa was a tired and altogether not pleasant experience. The reception staff behaved like they were doing you a favour the moment we walked in. The door staff and porters are lovely. Then we ordered a meal I. The restaurant which although expensive for what it was, was pleasant until the bill. I asked to charge it to my room as I had in the two other hotels I stayed at in Zimbabwe in this trip ....the. Waiter returned telling my me I had to settle the bill IN CASH and NOW! I felt like I had been caught stealing. The room had holes in the walls a dirty carpet and loose wires and broken trunking.
