"An excellent, convenient stop off hotel"
1 night Arrived 14 Oct 2019
"I was at City Lodge for only two nights as a stop-over to Victoria Falls. For that it was excellent and convenient, clean, good service and nice room.
My only slightly negative feedback would be that I had to pay extra to check in after my early flight arrived as the rooms are not normally free until 10.00. I had hoped they could find one room that was empty and that I could go to with our paying extra, but this is a minor point.
I had only one light meal there so can't comment much on the food. Breakfast was excellent." See all these reviews: 1n in Botswana; 1n in South Africa

"Beautiful hotel"
1 night Arrived 12 Sep 2019
"This hotel was much nicer than we expected.
The staff was very helpful in keeping track of our bags. The restaurant offered tasty, inexpensive food.
My only tip for travelers is to be sure you take a luggage cart because it's further from the international arrivals area than we thought." See all these reviews: 3n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa

"After a long flight I was so glad the hotel was easy to get to and comfortable. Completely adequate. Line at Front Desk was long but that was simply due to time of day."
