Rich in history, the Tudor charm of Cresta Churchill wins over many a business traveller. Set in peaceful, tree-lined streets of Bulawayo, this hotel offers the ideal balance between business and pleasure, capturing true "old world" comforts. The graceful decor of the bedrooms, conference venues, lounge and cocktail bar compliment the renowned fine wines and cuisine of the Inglenook Restaurant. For the avid bird watcher, the Matopos National Park is a must and other natural heritage sites include the final resting place of Cecil Rhodes as well as the Victoria Falls.

I had a wonderful stay at your Hotel. I enjoyed all your services being displayed in a superb way. Your staff, particularly the cleaners, caterers and receptionists are generally hospitable and discharge their duties wholeheartedly.
I wish to have another stay at your institution again next time.

It is a nice place to stay for business. The internet is good and the service is okay. The food at the restaurant is good, just the service is VERY slow. You are just happy when you see the buffet in the morning, since we had to wait once 30 minutes for 2 fried eggs. Depending on where your room is located, it can take 10 - 15 minutes for the shower to get warm, so keep that into consideration when you plan your morning :-). I would recommend to stay here and would come back.

Stayed over during the easter weekend, visiting friends and family. The place was very homely, quiet, cosy and offered a place to relax over the very the long weekend. The rooms were clean, though there is need for improvements and maintenance of utilities. For instance, the plugs and cellphone charging ports in the room were not working. The hotel was fully booked over the weekend and I thought requesting to change rooms wasn’t going to be feasible.

In May 2021, I visited and spent two nights at Cresta Churchill.
The service I received from the staff was excellent, the whole environment from rooms to gardens were very clean and well maintained. Covid-19 protocols were well observed and adhered to, from entrance point, right to the hotel room.
I will not hesitate to recommend someone or visit the place again on my next trip to this city.

This is a great place to stay you are looking for a quite and serene place in the city of kings. Ideal for accessing Matopos Hill/ Matobo National Park. The rooms are generally quite clean and their staff is very cautious, professional and very responsive. They offer excellent breakfast and dining facilities. The WIFI is fairly good but their bandwidth needs to be improved. Despite the widespread power outages, this place has a very reliable power supply through their standby generators. Overall, its a great place for both business and leisure stays.

Well, l must say - l choose Cresta for a number of reasons from affordability to a nice food. Above all, it’s a home away from home. The staff is friendly and helpful. For us who depart very early morning, i would suggest they clean cars in order of departure. Last time, l had to go for a meeting with a car dirty with coal dust (not their fault) but if they could provide b/fast early, l am sure if they had asked - i would have gone out with a clean car. Anyways - thanks for the service! I will always be there when in Byo.
