Holiday Inn Harare, An Ihg Hotel

I stopped over from Victoria falls since I had a day to explore Harare before flying out. I called the hotel regarding my reservation and Pamela from the front desk was quite helpful in accepting my request based on the slight complication I had. After a long journey, I arrived earlier than the standard check in time, however Victoria was kind enough to ensure I received my spacious & clean room as soon as possible. Thanks to Angela from housekeeping too for the clean room.

“Holiday Inn is Holiday Inn, now matter where you are.”

The Holiday In was very convenient for a work trip in Harare, located in the central business district. It was quite interesting to find that a Holiday Inn looks the same, now matter where in the world you are. This can be comforting on a busy work trip, but you will not find much local flavor if t… lisää

The Holiday In was very convenient for a work trip in Harare, located in the central business district. It was quite interesting to find that a Holiday Inn looks the same, now matter where in the world you are. This can be comforting on a busy work trip, but you will not find much local flavor if that's what you are after. The restaurant was fine (quite slow, which was not unexpected). There is a breakfast buffet - definitely look at the price of your room wiht or without breakfast, as the walk in price was either $20 or $30 per person (not clear which). If the price difference of room with or without breakfast is less than that, you might as well include it. The pool area was pleasant. I never saw anyone get in the water. My only small issue was that housekeeping was a little overzealous on the day I check out. I went to use the gym arly (pretty decent for a hotel gym), and when I returned to my room I found that housekeeping had already stripped the bed and removed all of the towels, despite the fact that it was 9 AM on the day I was departing, and it was clear I hadn't left the room yet. Fortunately, I was able to find them still on my floor and got fresh towels. I did book a ride to the airport through the hotel for $30 USD, which seemed awfully expensive, but I didn't have time to figure out any alternative. I imagine you can get a regular taxi for less than that.

“Okay stay”

We stayed for just over a week, check in was quick and swift, staff was friendly and polite. Hotel is situated about 10/15mins from the airport. Across the road they have a pharmacy, a garage (petrol station), Nando’s, chicken inn, pizza inn etc. rooms where cleaned every day, towels and bedding ch… lisää

We stayed for just over a week, check in was quick and swift, staff was friendly and polite. Hotel is situated about 10/15mins from the airport. Across the road they have a pharmacy, a garage (petrol station), Nando’s, chicken inn, pizza inn etc. rooms where cleaned every day, towels and bedding changed daily. Only thing is the rooms are a little out dated and could do with a revamp, other than that the stay was ok.

“Let down ”

The breakfast was superb. That cannot be denied. Plenty choices for all tastes of a buffet type of service. Room tidy and clean as was the toilet and shower. One big disappointment however.

The breakfast was superb. That cannot be denied. Plenty choices for all tastes of a buffet type of service. Room tidy and clean as was the toilet and shower. One big disappointment however. We only stayed one night as we were travelling the next day. When we were having breakfast, someone entered our room and took our personal belongings off the bed, stripped it, then replaced our items back on the bed. When you stay somewhere for a few days then you expect a room to be serviced but you don't expect it to be done two hours before you depart and without any warning. Felt this was an invasive act on our privacy.
