In terms of pricing Meikles hotel has one of the most expensive rooms in the land and was once used by superstar Michael Jackson in the 90s to house himself and his entourage.It is said he occupied a whole floor. The hotel has a standing reputation of high quality service and meal quality and its owners in the last few years acquired Gracelands Hotel in South Africa.
The hotel accepts international credit cards and mostly VISA card. As Zimbabwe is coming out of the economic problems and now with a stable currency unlike the old Zimbabwe currency more international cards are on course to be re-introduced. It will be prudent to check with the hotel the accepted cards at the time of planning to travel to Zimbabwe.
On the downside, Meikles hotel's neighbourhood has not been pleasant in the last few years. Hordes of unemployed youths who can't find jobs in Zimbabwe have found a safe haven in the area surrounding and next to the hotel's main entrance. These young people use these spots to carry out unregulated and illegal street foreign currency exchanges. They often run endless battles with the police. Even though they are unlikely to target the hotel's guests, their presence makes the entire environment unpleasant and sometimes overcrowded.
Despite this negative aspect, Meikles hotels remains Zimbabwe's top hotel out-doing many other top of the range hotels in Zimbabwe. Visit Meikles Website
