"Victoria Falls Hotel"
Three restaurants provide differing dining experiences, although we were unable to sample all as our stay was limited. The evening entertainment at the Jungle Junction restaurant was excellent and slightly hypnotic.
The location of the hotel for visiting the Falls is excellent. Just a short, albeit hot, walk to the Park entrance.
This hotel provided an excellent conclusion to out outstanding Botswana Safaris." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Victoria Falls Hotel review"
Downsides? Personal view is that would prefer to feel a bit more "part of the hotel" and maybe due to size/layout etc it could be said to feel a bit "soulless" but, if so, much less so than other hotels in the town." See all these reviews: 5n in Mozambique; 5n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa
"A Classic"
This lovely classic colonial style hotel has retained its atmosphere and excellent standards. With great views of the bridge and river it has a wonderful location and old world charm and the falls are an easy walk from the hotel.
Breakfasts and terraced lunches were excellent. The famous Livingston Room dinner was set in an elegant dining room but the food was a little lacklustre.
We did not feel unsafe, but as anywhere where there is hardship in the local community, you do need to be careful about valuables.
We took a tour with Wild Horizons which we booked at the hotel, and which was extremely disappointing. It was supposed to be a sundowner cruise, not a booze cruise, but having spent nearly an hour in the coach collecting other people from different hotels, we arrived to find that we could not choose where to sit, or with whom, and as soon as we sat down alcohol was being handed out very liberally. We spent some time moored up before a pretty short trip on the river, took a few photos as the sun was beginning to go down, and were back on the bus heading home long before sunset."
