I stayed for three nights at N1 Hotel Rotten Row in Harare, and while the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the experience had its downsides. The location is great for access to the city center, but the noise from the busy road was quite distracting, especially for light sleepers. My room was very clean and the shower was excellent, but I missed having breakfast options and a quieter atmosphere at night.

My stay at N1 Hotel Rotten Row was quite mixed. The location is super convenient and the staff was really friendly, but I had some issues with noise and the amenities. While the cleanliness and overall vibe were impressive, the shower design led to water spilling all over the floor, which was a bit of a hassle. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.
