There were two of us staying at this hotel. Check-in was very fast and easy, however when we arrived at the room, the door was open and there was a big fan in the middle of the floor. Apparently, some water had seeped in from outside during a rainstorm, so they were drying the carpet. We were moved to another... more

I was booked into the Sun on a business trip. The hotel was fairly easy to find and centrally located (although a long walk from anywhere - fine for driving as most people do). The complex is well maintained and clean. With ample parking. Reception was helpful and welcoming and a fast check in. The room was large and comfortable... more

We had two short stays in Gaborone, and for our first three-day stay we chose the Gaborone Sun. The Gaborone Sun is one of the older establishments in Gaborone, but the rooms are kept in good shape. The wooden room doors can be sometimes a little squeaky, but you have to look at that as a part of the old... more

I agree with most of Anniejet's (3/18/08) comments. The good service, the well maintained public amenities, the quality of food, and the friendly staff were are all there. Anniejet is also right about the hotel's location, the walk to the main mall and the government buildings is not more than 30 minutes. The walk to Riverwalk Mall seemed much longer... more

Upon our arrival the desk clerk upgraded our room to a deluxe room in the Mapone building. Our room was lovely, immaculate, and significantly larger than the standard rooms (also full tubs and kingsize beds). Employees came by several times asking if there were any problems and when we mentioned the few we experienced...an outlet didn't work, stronger light bulbs... more

Fine hotel located near town, not in town. You will need a cab to get anywhere as you would if you stayed at its main rival, the Grand Palm aka Waldorf Ambassador. But unlike the Grand Palm, the Sun does have taxi cabs at the ready on the property. The Grand Palm is further out but it is a much... more

The Gaborone Sun remains fresh and friendly despite being the best known hotel in town for three decades or more. The front desk and hotel staff are helpful and efficient. The breakfast buffet is great. Only complaint was that the shower was awkward to enter and it was hard to adjust the water temperature. The room was clean and spacious... more

This was the best hotel in town. Its rooms were western and very comfortable. They had a lovely pool, helpful staff, and very good food. Every evening hundreds of yellow birds were in the trees outside our room. They were building incredible hanging nests. There is a business center at the hotel, so you can send emails, a tasteful gift... more

The Gaborone Sun is well located and clean. The dining room offers a bountiful buffet with international and African dishes. Very good. The hotel management was wonderful, even arranging for coffee and rolls when we had to leave very early in the morning. I recommend the Gaborone Sun highly. more

The Gab Sun Hotel is a relatively (to Western Standards) good hotel. I have stayed in the Sun twice, and the Grand Palm twice as well. The Grand Palm is ritzier, but not worth the extra money and effort to book. The Sun is close enough to downtown, but not overly far from the airport. Can't comment on the pool... more
