I've recently returned from a trip to Zimbabwe where, among other things, we visited the Great Zimbabwe ruins. Since Masvingo, the nearest city, is a bit off the beaten track this involved an overnight stay and we picked this hotel, mainly on account of its location since it's the closest place to the site.

We had one night in the hotel, recommended by a friend who managed to get us a special rate. Even with the special rate, we were unimpressed by the hotel, and it definitely wasn't value for money.

We stayed at the Great Zimbabwe Hotel for one night. The location is superbe: The ruins are about 700 m away, so you can either walk or drive there. The Hotel has a cosy and quiet atmosphere, but everything looks a little old fashioned and needs touch-up. The best is the pool area/garden where you have a good view over... More
