"Mixed feelings. Excellent accommodation, but management and customer service not up to scratch."

The Buffalo Hotel is a beautiful place with unbelievable history and potential. We stayed there twice in one week because of the rooms that were very neat. On our arrival on the 1st of December there was no one at reception, the same thing happened on the 9th of December. We were told, after we enquired, that breakfast is at 6. When we arrived at the breakfast venue at 6, there was no one. The tables were dirty after the previous night and there was no choice of breakfast (even though it basically costs R120 per person), we waited quite a while for our coffee and breakfast and in the end poured the coffee ourselves. We wanted to leave between 6:15 to 6:30, but only left at about 7:15. On arrival on the 9th we decided not to take the breakfast option since we had had such a bad experience the previous time, but we wanted to book for dinner. However there was a birthday party scheduled for the boss and only one table open with music blaring in our ears. We were then moved to the restaurant (which we didn't even know existed) and it was much calmer. Booking into our room, there was no one at reception. Someone came to help us, but couldn't find the room's electronic entrance card. He then rummaged through other room's boxes to find a working key. Unfortunately the aircon's remote control had a flat battery and we had to go back to reception to exchange it. Once again there was no one and reception. After driving for about 12 hours from Mozambique we just wanted to sleep so we would be able to take on the second leg of our travels. The birthday party meant that our sleep was interrupted by loud music. The hotel would be a beautiful place if the customer service is improved. Then it would be a perfect place for those travelling from and to Mozambique. Unfortunately I can't recommend this to weary travellers who need peace and quiet.
