- Anonymous (8/5): Great Place, Great People, Comfy Bed - Breakfast was always available with plenty of different options, the Waffles, Crepes and Pancakes were very good could always get a smell of them in the mornings. Unfortunately we didn’t have the chance to get breakfast due to scheduling so can’t comment anymore than that. The Pool was closed and although it was winter when we were there it would have been nice to cool off in the pool as there were days we were very hot

- Dennis (8/5): Very good - This is a very good hotel in Gaborone with great staff. Rooms are spacious, clean and modern. Breakfast is one of the best I have seen. Secure parking. The ventilation system in my room and on the hallway were constant and noisy. No way to switch it off, which disturbed my sleep unfortunately.

- Alain (8/5): Great location, great price, comfortable room! - I used to live in Gaborone and know the town quite well. I looked into staying at the Protea and the Hilton (for the points) but then I did a search and found the Aria. I am glad I did! The hotel was lovely and comfortable. Great amenities. Great location. Great price! I would gladly stay there again. I honestly can't think of a thing. My stay was short (only one night) but everything was great. I know it sounds like a line, but the place met and exceeded my expectations. Great stay at a great price in a great location.

- Ivan (4/5): Friendly staff and very clean rooms. Ideal location. But the roof at front entrance must be fixed. - Staff were very professional, pleasant and helpful. The location is ideal because it is in the CBD and very close to a bustling mall. The hotel had a very clean swimming pool and entertainment area. Bedding and rooms were always very clean. On the day of our arrival and for the rest of our stay there was rain water dripping down the front entrance roof. Water pooled on the floor at the front entrance doorway. Also there were no cooking facilities or a stove in the rooms. It would have been nice to prepare our own meals.
- Geralda (10/5): It’s located close to the airport, and the surrounding area is quiet and green. The pool is stunning and staff very effi - The facility is beautiful and clean, the staff was excellent and friendly Nothing
- Mureriwa (8/5): Very good -
- Warren (8/5): Comfortable, spacious and affordable - Amazing, peaceful view of city. Kind staff. Clean spacious rooms. The kitchen and menu need some work.
- Josephine (6/5): It would have been great but lack of hot water in the morning spoiled the game. - The rooms are spacious and clean, well maintained with helpful friendly staff No hot water in the morning and was not even informed if there were maintenances going on. Staff budging into my room in the morning while I was sleeping screaming room service. I really could not know what was the room service for in the morning.
- Clever (1/5): Bad -
- Leah (8/5): We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and applaud staff for cleanliness - The hotel is very clean and the food from the hotel restaurant was excellent the staff/chef has passion. The location is great. Overall, we enjoyed our stay@ hotel Some of the aircon were not working in the rooms, so we had to move rooms.
- Matthew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lizinnet (9/5): Superb -
- Doctor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Samukelisiwe (7/5): A decent stay with decent pricing. - A really great breakfast, room and overall the property has great potential The staff is way too relaxed about giving good service. The pool needs to be cleaned regularly and should ideally have towels close by.
- Kayembe (9/5): Amazing place and my new go to accomodation whenever I’m in Gaborone! - Very friendly and helpful staff. Amazing rooms. Great value for money. Outstanding restaurant and customer service. Beautiful pool area. No gym. Add a gym and this is an amazing complete hotel.
- Ridwan (6/5): Average - Clean rooms, nice staff Breakfast doesn’t have many options, swimming pool floor is not clean.
- Make (4/5): Disappointing - Staff was great I was advised early check-in arrangements can only be confirmed on the day of reservation. On arrival I was advised there is an extra cost for early check in. Aircon in the room was not working.
- Edward (8/5): Overall it was great value for money and it was a lovely stay. - Facilities were clean and felt great. The room was spacious and shower was large enough to really relax and enjoy. loved the staff friendliness. It was easy to engage with everyone. The place was really great. The TV in the room was not a smart TV and offered minimal viewing channel options. The pool floor tiles appeared to be dirty, I did see the Pool cleaning machine doing it's thing but felt like it was taking too long.
- Obimbo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lebo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Prudence (8/5): Very good -
- Daniel (8/5): Great place in Gabs - Great value for money, pool was nice, staff really friendly When you going out for the day and return, card doesnt work and need to run to reception
- Ebrahim (5/5): Passable - everything they offered was good for me. i have a 2yr old. in the botswana heat id appreciate garden umbellas for the guests where they choose to sit. i asked for an umbrella to be placed over the splash inflatable. he was the only child the entire stay. there is no kids pool but they had a giant inflatable slide (not for kids under 9yrs) so we had pay for him to play in the splashzone since he's too small to slide which was great and he had fun. but i was worried he'd collapse in the 40deg heat, there was no shade created no umbrellas. The only shade is on the patio and under the pergolas. not at all good because i was joined by random strangers, under this pergola-my space was invaded my food was on the table where people are now seated, i cant leave my bag and phone to attend to my son whos in the scorching sun, his seat was now occupied.... UMBRELLAS help when it gets crowded. those many frog filled fountains under the trees should be converted into a kids pool. instead of one giant inflatable water slide, try 2. that can be placed in small but shady areas.
- Mondli (6/5): Fair hotel for the price - The price was reasonable. There were a lot of mosquitoes, not really something they can control. The food was ok. The shower head hadn’t been cleaned in a long time and so the water sprayed mostly to the sides
- Mmabatho (10/5): We enjoyed our stay and the staff members were very helpful and nice to us - It is decent I have no complaints at all
- Ilwad (7/5): Good -
- Çağrı (8/5): Very good -

- Julius (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mukesh (4/5): its just a new place - service needs to be jaked up bigg time - was average food and service could be improved
- Tshepang (9/5): Beautiful clean hotel - The hotel was clean, the staff were helpful and friendly
- Marcus (6/5): I enjoyed my stay, staff was very professional. - breakfast was always good and enough. nothing. I was happy.
- Fernanda (8/5): Very good -
- Thabo (9/5): Comfortable and safe stay. - Nothing at all.
- De (9/5): Awesome value for Money with superb service! - Clean and new facilities. Friendly and very helpful staff. Great value for money Rooms need a hair dryer and a mirror or two in the bedroom for getting ready. Showers need some repair.
- Pieter (7/5): Good -
- Dikotana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michelle (7/5): Bed comfortable. Room noisy due to too close to cafe downstairs. - Breakfast met my expectations, but, not everything was available for example the chicken strips and savoury mince as these were finished when we arrived which was at 7.30am. The tv in our room was not working as the wifi connection could not connect. I called reception to complain, but no one arrived to sort it out.
- Natasha (8/5): Very good - Decor and beds were comfortable Few hairs on the floor in bathroom upon arrival. Need to clean corners of the room
- Tour (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tour (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tebo (7/5): Good -
- Dianah (8/5): Very good -
- Winnie (6/5): Was grateful I was there for a short time. Make sense why the cost per night was low, the place needs a lot of work. - - There was mold on the shower floor - There are no two-point plugs in the room or provided by the hotel, but there are condoms in the bedside drawers, doesn’t make sense - The phones going to reception don’t work - No blankets in the room - The aircon didn’t work - the transparency curtain was damaged, so when you open the window, people from the next building can look inside the room - The safe doesn’t reset, so it doesn’t lock - There is a delivery fee from the in-house restaurant to the room, doesn’t make sense
- Khanyisile (6/5): Pleasant -
- Ishmael (8/5): It was a wonderful stay first time in Gaborone. - The hotel is beautiful and located in a nice area Only problem is there is no road signs leading us there if you not navigating it’s not easy to find
- Khotle (10/5): Fantastic - Friendly staff, safe location and the cleanness. Nothing
- Prince (9/5): Superb -
- Mwelwa (8/5): It was lovely and peaceful, a very convenient place to stay and affordable. - The place was okay. Quiet and peaceful. The TV channels were few, so as a TV person, i'd recommend adding some more channels. Other than that, the staff was helpful and friendly and the place is not far from the CBD. I loved that the hotel was considerate enough to prepare breakfast for guests who were leaving the Hotel around 04:00 hours to catch early morning flights. Nothing. The place is lovely, the food i ate was great and the staff was friendly.
