We stayed in this hotel on our way to the Moremi game reserve rooms 101 and 103. The entrance to the hotel from the road is so narrow only one car can either enter or exit at a time. Would advise then to demolish the flower pot on the right( as you come into the hotel). Safety first then you... More

I stayed at Cresta Riley's Hotel during a work visit to Maun. I had originally intended to stay at another well know establishment and had my reservations about Riley's. I was pleasantly surprised on arrival. I was offered a welcome drink and my check-in went smoothly. My room was modern and the amenities were of a good, modern standard. There... More

Nice hotel with a good restaurant and wi fi coverage. Centrally located. Clean rooms and nice beds. Used by business people so the standards are high. The restaurant was good as was the service. After bouncing through Botswana it was nice staying in some comfort for a night.

Perfect drinks, cozy bar, nice design, amazing internet speed (as for Africa) - spent 4 hours, uploaded all pics and completely restored all contacts. Excellent choice for broadband in Maun. Located next to the big shopping center

Stayed at Cresta Riley's, Maun while in town on work. It's a nice hotel, located in the "old mall" area of town, less than 5 minutes drive from the "new mall"/airport area. There's also a Nando's across the street. There's a pleasant garden area by the restaurant with free wifi internet that is fast and reliable by Botswana standards. Food... More

This hotel is only good for a short, quick, overnight stay. Not for tourists at all. Worst food we had eaten during our whole entire African trip (breakfast was ok), sloppy and inconsistent service in restaurant. Small rooms. Arrival - both stays we experienced slow, slow check-in. Very casual reception staff. The 2nd stay they had to "check to see... More

I have stayed here on Jan 2012. The hotel is cozzy, and everyone is very nice. The food is excellent. The only negative points: the swimming pools was completely green (dirty), the internet (which is only available on the restaurant) is unstable and sometimes there is lack of electricity (but that is something that affects the whole city). I would... More

I booked this hotel as it was recently upgraded, to overnight in Maun after our trip to the Delta. However, the upgrade does not extend to the whole hotel, only to a couple of rooms, which we did not have. We had two interconnecting garden rooms, which was exceedingly seedy, with dirty curtains and carpets, tired interiors and bathroom, mosquito... More

Reily's Hotel in Maun is just not worth the price you pay to stay there. This hotel is dull, dull, dull, with rude staff and very mediocre tired accomodation. The food was fine, but all in all definitely not worh a second visit. There must be something better in Maun!
