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.

Quiet, central B&B
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

Capital guest house
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.

Lovely Guesthouse
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.

Convenient and Comfortable.
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.

Very good place to be in Gabs. Come back again
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.

Wonderful staff; great guesthouse experience.
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.
