This is the place to stay in Bulawayo, beautifully renovated Gentlemen's club, this hotel is like an oasis. Nice atrium and lounge that cools you down. The rooms are not that cool as they are in 2nd floor, under the roof but there is/are ventilators (no AC in my room). Clean modern rooms and bathroom and a sufficient breakfast. City center walkable and carpark in the backyard (reachable by a small alley before the hotel -not signposted). Personnel is also very nice.

What a fantastic place! Like taking a step back in time. The books on the table in the entrance hall were fascinating and the pictures etc on the walls really interesting. The design and - presumably - attempt to keep the decor as close to the original was great as well. The staff were excellent, and we were shown around some of the closed areas before we left which we really appreciated.

We had to ask for the hot water to be turned on so we could shower, but that wasn't surprising considering the cost of power. I suspect the floors were swept rather than vacuumed so the carpets on stairs and in rooms were rather dusty, but the place was otherwise very clean.

There's a lot of history here, and the hotel feels extremely atmospheric. The public areas have been well-maintained, albeit some things have run done, e.g. the elevator was not working, and the corridors on the upper level could use some refinishing. The staff also felt pretty minimal, but those who were there were friendly and helpful. The location is great, and we felt very safe walking in the neighborhood. We ate both breakfast and dinner here and the food was fine.

Carrying our suitcases up all those stairs. (I counted more than 60). Getting into the parking area is a bit of a challenge, but at least there is parking.

Bulawayo club is more than a hotel! By staying here, you get a taste of what travel and lodging were like a century ago. The building, furnishing and overall experience brings you back to the early 1900s, and yet the hotel provides great comfort for modern travelers. It's really like an oasis as you travel through Zimbabwe. While located in the city center, it's very safe, and quiet enough at night for you have a good rest. Strongly recommended!

Just a perfect touch to the history. You can naturally smell how it was 50 yrs ago. Was interesting to play a snooker at one of old tables, using old tools. Breakfast was good. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Well.. Everybody should understand that touch to history has disadvangates - i.e. rooms and equipment there is clean, but old... and of course - no A/C.

received professional services here. The whole building is like a museum, where you can always read from the paintings, displays and even the facilities. It's a place where you feel the time back 100 years ago and it really like a "time machine"! But also surprisingly, the room is very clean and modern, looks like newly decorated ones. We spent great time here.

Lack of staff, though the team now is already great but think more staff will make things easier, especially the kitchen service.

Very special old fashioned and very British or Zimbabwean club accommodation. In the center of the town. Very caring and attentive staff. So special Charme ! Number one ! A must to overnight in Bulawayo. So special! The chef delivers real good food! Fish and chips are worth a sin ! Go for it ! Safe parking. Attractive price! A living museum in a positive sense ! Highly recommended!!! Always again!!!!

Super!

It is like stepping back in time and a privilege to experience staying a such a historic place. The rooms are very comfortable, quiet and clean. The staff are exceptional in their demeanour, friendliness and efficiency. Bulawayo Club is a wonderful place to stay.

I am from Harare, Zimbabwe and had to travel to BYO for work, and don't know much about BYO. I found this property online and it was an absolute gem. The owners have really taken care to maintain a historic building dating back in history and it was a pleasure to stay here. I will absolutely return for my next BYO trip!

Nothing.

Location excellent Style and history of the place is unique - this is surely the big selling point Staff delightful and always friendly and helpful

Breakfast is always a 'full English' with no options and nothing healthy at all - coffee and tea good but surely omelette/porridge and fruit could be available as options at least? WiFi is very patchy - may be an issue for anyone here for work (which many seemed to be including me)
