The Capital Guesthouse

We had a really lovely stay, home from home. The place was spotless, we had breakfast on the patio , overlooking the well kept garden and swimming pool. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. What can I tell you about Joyce the house keeper. She is a real sweetie, so helpful, I fell In love with her. A real mum, nothing too much trouble. Walking distance to the shops, and some of the local attractions. The property is gated and in a nice area. Would def go again, highly recommend. Thanks for a great stay.

The Guest House is amazing, very quite ambiance, good service, internet and attedants.

Supporting staff and nice property. We enjoyed staying at the house. Not many guests as there are few rooms. We would by sure return. Area around is not for walking. Take a taxi or book your driver.

The host lady (forgot her name) is very kind and goes out of her way to ensure that the guest are well taken care of. She is an angel. The lodge is nicely situated and is well taken care of. I will not mind using it again.

Joyce was very helpful and welcoming. Very nice hotel. Just need a new sign to find the place. Otherwise, awesome place.

Very well run and room very comfortable .

Nice place and good location. Breakfast a bit average. Room OK

Terrific staff and very clean environment. Reasonable transportation upon request.

Lovely house, facilities and a superb room. I would stay again.

I was one of two guests, with a room opening onto a lovely garden with weaver birds building their nests. Warm welcome from Joyce, good breakfast. Feels very safe. I came and went by hire car - convenient location. Very good alternative to a hotel

The house was very nice, but had no heat turned on. The room never warmed up after running the wall heater all night.

Comfortable accommodation but cold. Breakfast room open to garden. No cafeteria for meals apart from breakfast. My booking said free bottle water but after one small bottle on arrival I was denied further bottles even though I was there for three nights. Not a very convenient location. The housekeeper Joyce was helpful booking taxis and ordering a takeaway.

The guesthouse is very clean and modern. The breakfast was great - bacon, sausage, juice, coffee, eggs (made to order), toast. This is a very cute home with lovely accommodations. The lady arranged a cab for us to go out to dinner and helped us with the shower and also brought us extra coffee to our room after breakfast. We stayed only one night as we returned from safari and were flying out of Gaborone the next day. I would highly recommend The Capital Guesthouse.

I usually prefer the anonymity of a larger hotel, but this small guesthouse managed to make it feel like I could come and go without comment. The garden rooms are a little small, but perfectly comfortable and contain a desk. Joyce was very helpful and pleasant and always available for assistance. The linen was spotless and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast was varied and good. During the week the resident chef can be alerted to supply lunch and/or dinner. I didn't get to use the lounge or other public areas, but all looked comfortable and conducive to work or leisure.

really good guest house, amazing staff and very good locaiton

Hospitable mma Joyce, clean lovely room mix up with hotels.com meant there was no shuttle at airport. But all good

The place is not at downtown Gabs, but the location is very quiet and looked safe while we were there. The staff is very responsible and concerned about the guests. Definitely a good experience with them. They gave us good advices about places to go and told us a little bit about the country during small talks. It was amazing! If you are by car it's possible to see the whole city in one day. Go in other day to the Mokolodi, the price is fair and it's a good experience when in Gabs. When I come back to Gabs I go definitely to The Capital Guesthouse. The wifi is not that fast, but it works. The pool is good so, but the weather was rainy when we were there. The breakfast is very good and made with care. People in the kitchen was always there to help you.

If you want a more personalized stay in Gaborone, in an attractive residential community not too far from city center (and with transportation easily arranged) this is a fine choice. Under the friendly and attentive care of Joyce, the earnest on-site housekeeper (originally from Francistown), and Sechaba, the talented and personable chef (an enthusiastic Motswana born in Lesotho; on-site meals beyond breakfast are a fun option), the Capital Guesthouse is a delightful change from the typical hotel experience. There is also a high probability of meeting fascinating and informative fellow guests, often working on assignment in Gaborone. Guesthouses are not for everyone, but if you want a break from hotels without sacrifice of comfort and with plenty of privacy, this is an excellent choice.

We enjoyed our stay at the Gaborone Guest house immensely. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. Joyce was especially kind and helpful. The place was clean, safe and very comfortable.

The owner and the staff are very friednly and caring. We felt at home in this guesthouse. It is not far away from all points of interest in Gabarone.
