the best location near the falls and the city. Amazing views. Colonial style but recently very well renovated

The hotel is 100 years old and a fixture in the area. It is built and decorated in British style. It is quite large and must have been luxurious in its day, with many hallways, staircases, and wings. Actually, it was a bit spooky to walk through. I got lost trying to go back to my room from the outdoor restaurant. Now, the rooms are clean, but not very modern. However, they did have mosquito netting! There are long hallways that have a musty odor. There were no outlets near the bed to charge phones and other needed devices. The staff was friendly and attentive. Food was good, but not gourmet. They did have high tea, but we didn't join. The property is very pretty with statuary, gardens, and a nice pool area and a lot of seating nooks throughout the lobbies. The gift shop had very interesting items.

Lovely old hotel with a wonderful ambiance and character. Definitely not cheap but I loved it and would stay again. Easy walk to the Falls as well

This is an iconic well-run hotel, with friendly staff and comfortable rooms. The grounds are expansive and well maintained. We enjoyed the hotel’s VIP concierge service and received excellent advice and assistance from Edson. Bartender Brendon was professional and personable, and made outstanding Bloody Mary’s. The buffet dinner service was exemplary, having one of the widest selections of foods (especially the meats). The desserts were delicious. We enjoyed the African culture dinner show that accompanied dinner. The buffet breakfast also had a wide variety of choices. We found the High Tea service to be over the top in terms of selection of sandwiches and little desserts. One quibble: the hotel charged $3 for a bottle of water you get free in your room. It detracted from the overall high standards of the hotel. If you are looking for history and character, this is the hotel to stay in when in Victoria Falls.
