10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at Churchill Hotel in Bulawayo and were genuinely very happy with our experience. ❤️ The location was excellent for our holiday, making it easy for us to explore Bulawayo and the surrounding area. We were conveniently located for our visits to Matobo National Park, the city centre, garden centres and other places we wanted to see. The food was one of the biggest highlights of our stay. Both breakfast and dinner were absolutely amazing! The meals were delicious and really added to our overall experience. The staff were also fantastic. Everyone was welcoming and friendly, and the team regularly checked on us to make sure we were comfortable and happy. What stood out to us most was how involved the manager was. She personally came over to have a chat with us, asked whether we were happy and whether we had any concerns, and we even saw her helping her staff. That personal touch really made us feel valued as guests. Overall, Churchill Hotel was a wonderful base for our Zimbabwe holiday. We enjoyed the location, the food, the friendly atmosphere and the excellent hospitality. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Bulawayo. Thank you to the entire Churchill Hotel team for making our stay so enjoyable and memorable. 🇿🇼❤️"
