Bronte Hotel: Beautiful gardens

I stayed at the Bronte for 2 nights, the gardens are very beautiful. The rooms were okay and bathrooms also okay. The bar closes at 10pm and there's no room service after that. The rate of US$96.90 includes taxes and b/fast.

They have a small business centre and I think I got done by the IT guy, I asked him about internet connection from the room, he said he'd need to set it up for me, figuring it was some complicated process I allowed him into my room where he proceeded to set up a simple dial up networking connection, which I could quite easily have done myself. I asked about the cost and he said the charge was Zim$1000, (peanuts) which I gave him. I asked about call charges and he didn't seem too sure. He walked away happy and I made a couple of connections to check email. When I got the bill I'd been charged US$37 for about 4 short phone calls

One warning about this and all hotels in Zim. Do not charge anything to your room, if you do you will be made to pay for it in US$ at the "official rate" on check out.

The official rate is currently US$1 = Zim$250 so if you you have a meal for Zim$2500 you will pay US$10 on check-out

The unofficial rate is US$1 = Zim$1100 so if you pay cash for a Zim$2500 meal you will have effectively paid US$2.30 for the meal.
