Beautiful old style hotel with rare old fashioned standards. Luckily they also have budget rooms which when brightened up & simplified, will be ideal. Great b/fast but generally the food is fresh & well cooked which is rare nowadays. Quite reasonably priced. Excellent salads- I ate after I saw the management having one for lunch!

Hotel's Favourite
I stayed at the Bronte Hotel for over a week with a group that I was traveling with. Firstly, the ground of the hotel are beautiful. It is like walking into a garden oasis with Sculptures and Koi ponds and birds everywhere. Roses and Bird of paradise abound. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and clean. The staff is amazing. There is nothing that they won't assist you with easily, and with a smile. Everybody made you feel welcome and appreciated. The food at the restaurant, was very good. Breakfast was always fresh and cooked to your tastes. There were cereals, hot oatmeal, eggs any way you want and fresh bakes pastries. fruit, etc. Coffee from a french press to your table. There was lunch and hot food snacks during the day, and dinner was more than good. The soups were homemade and delicious. If you do not want to go to a restaurant, you certainly will get a absolutely good meal at the hotel. They also have a bar.The wait staff is wonderful. this is just an excellent hotel for business, pleasure, bring the kids, they can run around the place safely hotel. the security is excellent and they always get you a safe taxi when needed. Feel safe and secure here and enjoy a truly wonderful stay in Harare at the Bronte.

We loved our stay here. The gardens were just an absolute joy to be in. Some of the trees were 100 years plus! One of the gardeners we spoke to had been there for 34 years, and you could feel his love for the plants and trees. Really a wonderful haven in the city, highly recommend.

When you travelling a lot, the first thought that comes to your mind, when you approach the hotel where you will stay for 2-3 days, is: Will it be clean? Will it be quiet? If it's clean, you can see from the moment you arrive, if you're not so tired that you just want to sleep. You will find out if he is quiet when, after an hour of sleep, you will be awakened by noises from the street or from inside. In both cases, sleep will disappear and, next time, you will look for another hotel. At Bronte is clean and quiet. So you will want to come back.

Stayed at the hotel end of January. Great value for money and lovely relaxing setting that keeps the hustle and bustle of downtown Harare outside. Rooms super clean, staff attentive, breakfast and buffet lunch a highlight.

I was impressed by The Bronte. The facilities are modest and well-kept, my room was quiet except for a bit of street noise (can't be helped as it’s downtown), and nearly all the staff I encountered were very warm and welcoming. I most enjoyed sitting on my room balcony overlooking the beautiful grounds dotted with Zimbabwean scuplture, and having lunch on the patio (facing the beautiful grounds). A nice respite from the bustle of the city.

Fantastic hotel with a lot of greenery in the courtyard. The rooms are very comfortable and there is a lovely pool and a gym. The breakfast selection has room for improvement, but dinner was very good. Staff are very professional and friendly.
