The hostel is centrally located with a wonderful garden, pool, and bar area (a wonderful space in the center of Livingstone, minutes from the museum). The pizzas are to die for. We are regular visitors.

Nice cheap place
Nice cheap place in walking distance of the museum, craft market and good restaurants. And all the staff are really friendly and helpful.
Definitely recommend if you're looking to stay somewhere in Livingstone that won't break the bank.

This is a great hotel. While older, it is extremely clean and maintained. The staff is friendly and very helpful (especially Merriam). I appreciated having access to the large grocery store across the street and the nearby restaurants. Highly recommend.

Everything was really nice and beautiful. Whether it was the friendly staff or the nice organisation. The only thing is that you can offer more choice at dinner. The pizza is nice but for a longer stay….

I cannot say enough good things about our stay at Fawlty Towers. The location provides easy access to stores and restaurants, while also giving visitors a place of calm and relaxation. The entire staff/management was extremely friendly and professional, and was always willing to offer guidance and assistance with planning visits to points of interest and attractions.
