The club is beautiful and the staff are superb. Cant speak highly enough. Especially Reginald at the front desk. The surrounding is typical noisy, dirty africa. Although certainly not as bad as Harare! But the Club is a quiet clean friendky oasis. Wonderful place to stay

7 night stay in Bulawayo
I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone wanting to stay in Bulawayo. The service from the staff is second to none, they will go above and beyond for any and all inquiries, whether it was for help with sim cards and any Zimbabwe specific adapters, to arranging trips and taxis to the Matapos or anywhere else. Likewise the food at the restaurant and for breakfast was very good, especially the breakfast. Although the steak may be considered pricey by local standards, paying $17 for a room service steak that was delicious and available late at night was a level of service beyond what i was expecting. The one downside to the whole property were the showers. Not an issue for me as i take baths, but if you take showers the nozzle looked pretty dated and I’m not sure getting the temperature right would be an easy task, albeit I didn’t try, just an observation. Place is gated for those with any security concerns, although the idea is fine, no sense of danger, as a male, can walk the streets at night as a foreigner without any drama. Lastly, id you’re a rugby fan, a trip through the members area on the way to breakfast will become a 15 minute perusal of the history of rugby in Zimbabwe and Matabeleland, incredible memorabilia collection. All in all, for value for money and enjoyment, I don’t think I’ve ever stayed at a better hotel in my life, would undoubtedly stay here again if i ever find myself in Bulawayo.

The Bulawayo Club is an old gentlemen’s club converted into a hotel. The building is gorgeous and there is a lot of history on display. It is pretty noisy during the day due to its location in the center of downtown but it is very quiet at night. Wonderful staff and spare but nice rooms.

Like stepping back in time, was quite an experience staying in this old gentleman's club! The staff were brilliant, especially Brian, who went above and beyond to help me to help with, I can't thank him enough, he really helped make my stay in Bulawayo. There were a few issues with the room, the bathroom could be updated, the shower was only a trickle and the TV didn't work the whole time I was there, they were waiting for a part from South Africa. But overall i really enjoyed my stay here

The Bulawayo Club was a fascinating place to stay & whilst it has seen better days, the chance to stay somewhere that has so much history in the various rooms made it wonderful. The dining room is amazing, I felt I'd gone back in time. On our first evening there I spent time just wandering, looking at all the pictures on the walls (there are very many) & I was amazed at what I saw & the history they portrayed of times past. The staff were very attentive too. If you want to stay somewhere unique a stay here is a must. The only down side was the lack of water pressure in the shower.

An iconic hotel transporting you to days gone by. Full of teak, historical artifacts yet a hotel of today offering comfortable accommodation at a very fair price. The staff could not have been better and the food was great.
