Detailed Reviews
We spent a night at Cresta Riley's after a wonderful Safari camping trip, so it was a treat to have a big comfy bed and a hot shower. The hotel is also pretty, comparatively speaking, with rich ochre walls a thatched roof, and lush green gardens, an oasis in Maun. Best of all were the staff who were charming and consistently helpful. My husband was impatient with the restaurant service which is not fast. However, my sense was that this will grow with experience, and with experience, possibly less concert for perfection.
If I have a criticism, ut is that there was only one bedside light, and that that the shower and the soaps have been place at opposite end of the bath. This is a hazard, if you try to reach the latter with slippy feet. They are also out of reach for anyone relaxing in a hot tub.

It’s really a nice place in the heart of Maun, but for sure is not the cheapest solution if you compare with all the others closer accomodations. We booked this hotel for one night as the breakfast was included (is not so common) but we had to leave very early in the morning so they gave us a bag with breakfast, which was below the normal standard, for quality and quantity. I think I will choose other options if I will go to Maun again

Lage in der Stadt, Kiosk und Tankstelle direkt um die Ecke. Zimmer/Bad sauber und funktionell. Klimaanlage funktioniert gut. Föhn vorhanden. Kostenloses WLAN auf dem ZImmer. Essen gut, lange Wartezeit. Abends nicht draussen essen, da es enorm viele Fledermäuse gibt, die die Tische einkoten. Fruehstueck mit sehr grosser Auswahl.

The Cresta Riley hotel is a bit rundown. Our room key cards worked only for a few hours. We had no warm water in the bathroom, the standard room is narrow, the ‘bar’ in the restaurant is not very cozy just like the restaurant
Staff is very friendly, the food is good.

Cresta Riley's Hotel is walking distance to the Maun Old Mall with Shops, Restaurants, ATMs etc. You can also catch a taxi ride to New Mall, Maun Airport and other interesting places in Maun.
The hotel has been renovated and very clean. There is ample space to just walk or relax by the pool. The only thing was that the garden was dry due to the water problem in Maun.
I really enjoyed my lunch on the 7th October 2019. The Chef went all out to make scrumptious meal (Rice, Chicken, Goat stew, Veggies and Dessert). I am usually a very picky person but he did a great job.
The room was spacious, clean and had a very relaxing ambience.
The staff was very friendly and made me feel welcome.
Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay at the Hotel again!
