unfortunately, the experience at reception left a lot to be desired. Both during check-in and check-out, the reception staff were not welcoming at all. They were unfriendly and made me feel like I was inconveniencing them simply by expecting to be checked in. What was most disappointing is that they continued with their own conversation while I stood there waiting, making me feel invisible. It came across as unprofessional and very unlike the Avani service I’ve come to expect. A disappointing start and end to an otherwise decent stay.

Short stop at the end of a longer trip

Comfortable one-night stay. The room was well furnished and in decent condition, though the AC was a bit tricky. Bathroom was very modern. The hotel has a nice decor,but some areas are showing signs of age. The pool area is nice and large, but could have been a but cleaner and needs new or more modern loungers and seating options. The food menu at the bar was limited, and the food was ok - not the best we had in Botswana, but not bad either. There was a DJ by the pool that was very loud (as seems to be typical in Botswana) but this finished at around 22:00 so did not disturb our sleep. There is no lift, but the staff did help by bringing our luggage up to our 1st floor room.

Terrible

Very noisy on the street. Aircon is so noisy you have to turn it off. The restaurant was not open so you had to sit by the pool where some local DJ played loud music that was not to my liking. It was windy and cold. I believe the kitchen burnt down a while ago but noone informed me on booking. Left early...

Great Service and Amenities for Business Travel

Overall I had a really great stay (6 nights) at Avani in Gaborone. I was here for a very short business trip and wanted all of the modern comforts and conveniences and Avani didn't disappoint. From the breakfast buffet (I paid for it to be included), the room service, the pool lounge and the Pantry (coffee shop), the food quality was very high and the service was excellent. By the end of the week, the staff recognized me in the Pantry cofee shop, knew my order and even taught me a little bit of Setswana! The only hiccup was I relocated from my original room, immediately after check-in, because the air conditioning wasn't working in room #1. I called the front desk, they sent someone very quickly to investigate and they moved me to a new room without any delays. Room #2 was great and the rest of the trip was without incident. I would gladly come and stay here again. Great for business travel.
