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).

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
