I had a lovely stay at this hotel. Very warmly welcomed by both Grace & Gamuchirai who are delightful. I really enjoyed the restaurant area and the ability to have my breakfast outside beside the bubbling brook was just fantastic. The food was exceptional and I particularly liked the banana yoghurt which I don't see very often in the UK. My room was nice-quite basic that it had all the amenities that I could ask for. Importantly, it was secure and I felt safe. I was in room 137 and note that the lock from the inside was not working so that needs repairing. Lovely shower and very nice shampoos etc The Wi-Fi throughout the hotel is pretty good I would stay here again if I was staying for a short visit but might look for something more rustic such as a large if I was there for longer just so I could experience the African vibe. The shuttle service was excellent Thanks everyone

An excellent place to stay if you are looking for a quiet, relaxed environment which is not too far from the city.

Spacious and clean, very quiet. I liked the old man who welcomed me and took me to my room, he was very nice and checkout he did the same. Food was nicely prepared but there was little variety- e.g. no chicken sausages at breakfast,

Check-in desk was chaos and it seemed this led to my check-in not getting fully complete or something as I had a staffer and another guest try to open my room door at 11pm at night and wake me up as I had bolted the door. Then as I was trying to get back to sleep, the front desk called me to confirm who was in the room as they clearly had no idea. That plus a loud dance party that went on until 10:30pm ensured there wasn't a restful nights sleep. The lack of proper check-in also explained why my wifi login with my room details wouldn't work. Security on the rooms felt a bit sub-par. The balcony door lock was not the best and seemed loose. The room door at least had a bolt (which worked as I discovered). The restaurant staff were nice but then we had issues trying to pay as they didn't want to take some of the US dollar bills that our party had claiming they couldn't accept those serial numbers or something. This is utterly baffling as the bills were valid US dollars and even on researching the Bank of Zimbabwe has an issued statement saying businesses shouldn't be refusing certain bills because they're too old or whatever. This ended up in lots of chaos trying to pay our bill when the card machine wouldn't work in the restaurant area as the signal from the front desk (where the router is) was not strong enough. Overall, wouldn't really recommend unless you lacked other places to stay in Harare.

I have always booked into Cresta the past 3-4 winters. But I had to transfer this time because the standards have gone a bit. The bathroom roof and tub rim are mold-covered, internet drops every 15 mins, dysfunctional plugs and fans. Etc. etc. No disabled friendly facilities—the picture of this elder woman clambering up tge steps of the dining area and poolside was the last straw.

Overall the stay was great and staff very kind and helpful. I had two rooms reserved. There were some things that were not in working condition in the rooms - air conditioner/heating system in one room and the safe in the other room. The showers in both rooms had some Black grime that I hope the hotel pays attention to and intentional about clearing regularly. I had to ask for a room change as one of the toilets had a broken flushing fixture. It would be good for the staff to verify that things are in good working condition before assigning rooms.

$24 breakfast was a joke. This breakfast wasn't worth $10. Their covid protocals meant checkin took 20min. I won't be coming back.

Overall the hotel is a very high standard. The standard room I was given was rather small but completely comfortable. The staff were very friendly. The corridors are long and in usual hotels there would be a 4th or 5th floor for the amount of rooms. The grounds were beautiful and the taxi service was very reasonably priced and ran 24/7 I believe. Overall no issues staying here again if I were to return to Harare.

If you’re expecting friendly staff then forget this place. They generally look moody, no smiles and don’t acknowledge guests (except for the night shift gate man - he’s got a heart of gold, very enthusiastic and makes an effort to put a smile on your face each time he encounters you). I had to greet the staff - how ridiculous is that. The lady at the restaurant making your eggs frowns ALWAYS. Doesn’t acknowledge when a customer makes their order. I felt as though the hotel staff thought they were doing me a favour in providing the service I paid for. In short the property is ok, nothing special but the staff makes it worse. Not returning ever.

The hotel is beautiful when you walk in. There was no concierge to take our bags upon arrival and we had 4 bags. Reception staff were friendly which was a plus. We found the room to be small but the bed was a very good comfortable size. The shower was a let down as we stayed the week and did not appear to have been cleaned during our stay

Was not happy being woken up early by housekeeping who were not very friendly, Had to call reception a couple of times as I had no hot water, the soap holder in the shower hang precariously on the wall. The room itself was cosy and comfy was kept clean.Apart from housekeeping the rest of the staff were friendly

Good hotel if I was to criticise it would be their facilty to pay a deposit in order to place orders on your room. Reason given was too many guests leave with no payment. A suggestion would be to give customers the option to pay a deposit of their choice during booking which will be pre authorised.

Lovely hotel in Harare, pretty, well maintained grounds, lovely modern room. Restaurant and cafe on site and the food was delicious. Staff were friendly and accommodating. My only complaint was some of my showers were luke warm. Otherwise highly recommended.
