Lovely every time.

I love staying at the Intercontinental - the ease of staying here is second only to the amazing care and service. Really above and beyond! The breakfast is terrific and quick if you need it to be. The gym being open 24 hours is a huge bonus with late night international arrivals. And total professionalism throughout. Thank you for making a day or two of work and being in transit to Botswana something to look forward to every time.

Mostly really good but small rooms

Had a very nice stay twice. The hotel is beautiful but rooms were very small but fully equipped. Service from bell staff, front desk very good. Restaurant service was sporadic - some great - some not so. We greatly appreciated the IHG late checkout and that would be reason to sty on a return trip. Also great location.
