    Enjoyed my stay at the Rainbow in Bulawayo! Super convenient location made exploring easy. Staff were so helpful, though the room could've used better care. A few hiccups with wifi and room amenities, but overall a solid experience. Would recommend!

    friendly staff

    Single traveler delight

    Spent three nights at this place, and I gotta say, the staff were top notch, always ready to help. At the restaurant, I was amazed by how fresh and mouth-watering the food was. I still salivate thinking about that dinner.

    It wasn't cheap but still within reason.

    convenient location
    poor bedding

    The location was quite convenient, being close to

    Various attractions and business venues. The staff were notably friendly and always eager to assist. the quality of the bedding left something to be desired, as did the breakfast options, which could be improved for future stays.

    central location
    limited amenities

    A delightful stay in Bulawayo

    The hotel’s central location made it easy to access local attractions. I particularly enjoyed the warm hospitality from the staff, who always greeted me with a smile and provided prompt service. Breakfast was a highlight with a spread that included freshly baked options.

    Unfortunately, my room had limited amenities. there were two plugs but only one was functional, which created inconvenience while using the kettle and ironing. I found the room cleanliness could be improved, especially with attention to detail in the bathroom.

    secure car
    parking situation
    limited provisions

    secure guest car park, centrally located, clean fitness centre

    The parking situation felt sketchy at night!!! The room lacked a safe box for valuables!!! The shower cap and pad bag were inconsistently provided!!! Limited tea provisions made for an underwhelming experience!!! Noise from the mini fridge kept me up!!!

    cockroaches
    flooding bathroom

    the rainbow in bulawayo is simply underwhelming. flooding bathroom floors and cockroaches roaming freely? so charming, but i almost gave a good review until i discovered there’s no safe for my valuables. i expected at least a complimentary gesture after all that chaos, but i guess that’s too much to ask.

    clean room
    conference facilities

    I loved the clean standard double room with a cozy vibe. The conference facilities were excellent for our business needs, and the location was perfect for exploring the city. One highlight was how quickly they assisted us with our bags, making the arrival process smooth.

    friendly atmosphere
    convenient location
    family activities
    limited plugs

    The location is spot on, making it easy for everyone, including the grandkids, to explore. We loved the friendly vibes and the hotel offers fun activities like table tennis, which was a hit with the family. Breakfast was a feast with plenty of choices!

    My wife says that the kettle was tricky to use with that one round plug. It would be great to have more plugs available for families.
