Ezulwini Villa Hotel

The whole experience was mediocre. Not 5 star as advertised. Breakfast always cold needed to be reminded to warm it for us. There was a braai on the 15th when we arrived which was supposed to start at 4pm didn't start until 8pm. Very noisy

I am writing this absolutely glorious review in part because I literally stumbled upon this place by necessity and accident, when every hotel in Harare was sold out for a big conference week. I am so grateful that I did. And the general lack of reviews made me nervous as a solo traveler from the U.S. But here are my thoughts…. What a lovely and unique and charming and comfortable and cozy place. It really is a serene and beautiful place, an oasis a few km from downtown Harare. The room and bathroom are both large and well-appointed. The bed and linens are super comfortable. The overall design is both modern and eclectic, but it totally works. The grounds and pool area are serene and quiet. The staff are kind and welcoming and always greet you with a smile. The gym is right off the pool area. It is small but functional and totally met my needs. The English breakfast each morning was delicious and perfectly done. I recommend eating outside by the pool in the morning as it is so peaceful and relaxing. As a solo traveler, I did not venture out at night for dinner and ate at the hotel. The menu is limited but all the food was well-prepared and delicious. The neighborhood was also quiet and I would walk around by myself each afternoon without any problems. It is a 15 min drive to downtown and I navigated it safely and easily using “InDrive” their version of UBER for $9-10 each way. Very easy Honestly, I simply had an unexpectedly WONDERFUL stay. Wonderful. If you want to hustle and bustle of the city, this is not the place for you. But if you want a beautiful, serene and comfortable refuge from the city - then look no further. Do not be dissuaded from the paucity of reviews. This place is legit! I would most definitely stay here again
