“The New Ambassador Hotel's central Harare location is its strongest suit, placing guests within easy reach of the National Art Gallery and other key attractions. While the hotel caters primarily to business travelers, with conference facilities and free airport shuttles, some past guests have noted that weekend noise and room amenities could use improvement. I think the price point is a little high, especially when considering similar international options.”
