    There was no heating unfortunately and the remote for the AC was missing.

    Quiet and safe place to stay in Borrowdale. Nice area and close to Sam Levy’s village. The rooms are clean and well maintained. Staff are friendly. I had a good stay.

    I wouldn't say I didn't like anything but it could be worth having a fob access to the front gate. It's a bit annoying have to ring the bell each time you go in and out of the compound

    The location is really handy, it is only a short walk to Sam Levy shopping center. The staff is are really accommodating too.

    I enjoyed all essential aspects of my two weeks at Art Lodges.

    My experience over a two week stay at Art Lodges was a happy and deeply satisfying one. The kindness and unassuming attentiveness of each one of the staff created a lovely atmosphere. They just go about quietly tending their assigned jobs and respect your space. Michael the manager and the son of the kind hearted proprietors was always available for advice and information. Security issues are uppermost for anyone away from their country and continent. Art Lodges provided safety at every level. It is located in the beautiful leafy Borrowdale area in suburban Harare. One short trip from Art Lodges by taxi I recommend are the Botanical gardens (albeit presently in a supervised but neglected state; hopefully the cafe has reopened). Every morning I enjoyed jogging in the vicinity and in the afternoon walked for 10/15 minutes to Sam Levy's Village, a modern complex of shops, supermarket outlets, banks and excellent cafes, restaurants and wine bars. Zimbabwe has its own currency but US Dollars are used everywhere. Be careful your dollar notes are in basic usable condition as otherwise shops will be refuse them. Very importantly at all times carry 1 and 2 Dollar notes especially if using taxis and for many other transactions. For changing Euros or Sterling to Dollars there is an excellent exchange rate available at an outlet at Sam Levy’s Village. Ask at Art Lodges. Also take note that the roads and footpaths around Art Lodges and to Sam Levy are adequate but less than perfect. Vigilance is necessary especially crossing roads. With the advantage, however, that cars drive on the same side as Ireland, the UK and Malta! Also recommend you download economical Uber type taxi App. In the afternoons or evenings the excellent Thai restaurant and gardens beside Art Lodges ie recommended. Also just for coffee or drinks.

    Salty sausages and the brown beens

    Good sometimes, ended up staying longer than expected as the place was very good. Would have preferred giving the breakfast order rather than a guaranteed menu which l found to be wasteful as l was not able to eat all my breakfast. Easy on salt please.
