I stayed here with two friends in September 2009. When we were shown our rooms, I was disappointed. The room was very small and dark (even in the daytime), there was very little storage space (barely enough room for 3 rucksacks!) and there were also one or two cockroaches on the floor. We also took issue with the mosquito nets,... more

My cousin and I stayed at Fawlty Towers for 5 days during the summer. It was a great choice! The location is perfect - walking distance to the centre of town, across the road from a wonderful vegetarian cafe (guava smooties are incredible!) and next door to their travel agency / internet cafe (internet is well priced and quite fast).... more

A nice place to stay in Livingstone, is well known. Our rooms weren't ready on the first night so we had to sleep in tents in the courtyard but that was OK. Room was clean and bathroom was decent, staff were friendly and the hostel helped to book activities for us. Location maybe not that great as was not located... more

Just ok

Seemed clean but room was very worn. It served its purpose for a 2 night backpackers stay-- but we would have preferred to have stayed at Maramba, Ngolide or Zig Zag (they were all booked) for just a little more $. I dont know how Fawlty Towers compares to Jollyboys. Staff was very friendly and helpful in booking activities. more

My fiancee and I stayed here for a few nights while travelling around Africa. Fawlty Towers is excellent value and its secluded garden mean that one can get a quiet nights sleep. We stayed in a double room and it was basic but clean. There is a bar and restraunt on site which is convienent. Staff were very laid back... more

Good deal money-wise; but if you can't stand the heat go to a more fancy place. Staff is friendly and helpful Breakfast is only served inside where the stuffy smell of grease is so unappetizing that you better go to another restaurant There is on computer with internet for communal use, OK The on-site travel agency is Ok more

great place!

I stayed at Fawlty Towers for 3 months, and all I can say is that it is a fantastic place- the staff are amazing, they help out in whatever way they can, the food is really nice, the location is ideal- just a short distance away from the shops, and it is fairly easy getting a taxi to the falls... more

Stayed at Fawlty Towers for a week in early Dec 07. At first we were in a tiny room at the back of the garden but then moved to a larger room by the communal kitchen since we were staying for more than a couple of nights. The rooms are fine, single beds with mosi nets which looked a bit... more

Have stayed at plenty of hostels around the world and considering we were in East Africa, found this hostel to be fine. We shared a dorm as there were four of us and this gave us the option to have an ensuite. Only real gripe was that there was not hot water in our room so we ended up having... more
