AI Summary
The property is praised for its cleanliness, central location, spacious rooms, and excellent service. However, some may find the balconies cozy but not particularly luxurious. Ideal for organized travel and business meetings.

Although my room was located quite far from the reception, all was great.
Big room, comfortable beds, nice shower. Additionaly selection of cafes and teas.
Asked for a late checkout and got it.
The very building is historic and quite cute
The hotel is located in the very centre of the town

Clean, neat and beautiful. Christine, the lady at the reception was the best host i have ever encountered. She made my stay so comfortable and was Kind and helpful. Loved the garden and the balcony. Well maintained and manicured.

The location is in the very centre of Bulawayo, with walking distance to both the Art Gallery (10 min) and The Natural History Museum (15 min). There are plenty of fast-food and restaurant options within minutes by foot from the hotel. Also, very easy to arrange pick-up/drop-off at the hotel as all tour operators doing excursions to Khami ruins, Great Zimbabwe ruins and Matobo NP know it.
The Selborne Hotel is clean, neat and I recommend it. Excellent location and very helpful staff.
Some details in my room would need an update, but all in all a really pleasant stay!

This hotel has seen better days and is a shadow of its former self. There was a problem with our reservation which meant we were given poor rooms with no air con and missing bulbs, linen, and varying levels of amenities (showers, water, etc). We were moved after a night but the rooms don’t match the website photos. One of the bathrooms was unusable due the smell and heat. The hotel is good for location in the city centre, and the garden and pool are pleasant but feel tired and only given basic maintenance)do not believe the pool photo on the website!
The main redeeming feature is the staff and how hard a couple of them worked to make our stay better; their enthusiasm was undermined by the limitations of the hotel to supply things like adequate bedding or simple things like light bulbs. Stay here for very basic amenities and the locations but not for a really comfortable stay.

Had a wonderful time and the staff were incredibly helpful. Christina in particular was super kind and had great recommendations for where to eat and always looked out for me (especially as a solo female traveller). Definitely recommend!

Was sceptical at first as the place had drastically deteriorated.The place went under a complete makeover and the rooms are fantastic and everything works.Only downside is there aren’t many TV channels to choose from.Fairly priced and convenient as well.

Recently renovated, it’s basically a brand new hotel! Their service is incredible, the staff are friendly and always willing to help. It’s located in town so everything is easily accessible and there is plenty of parking space
