It was good
Peter, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had an initial hiccup with a different room being reserved than what we actually booked on expedia so I recommend confirming with the Inn via phone which room you have booked but they sorted it out for us and we had a really nice stay. Stayed a night each in the deluxe family and the family rooms and both were clean, nice, spacious rooms and had everything we needed. Both restaurants connected to the Inn had great food and service. Thank you.

Does the job

Stayed at Digger Inn a number of times now. The rooms are comfortable and clean. Had very little interaction with staff beyond collecting keys but they are friendly. Wifi system is a little arcane and patchy. Food in the restaurant leaves much to be desired. The Thorn Tree is much better than the hotel bar/restaurant. But overall, for Francistown, it works. I will stay there again.

Business trip to Francistown

Online booking was easy and efficient, the staff were very friendly, our wifi did not work all the time causing some frustration.

Freundliches Personal, unkomplzierter Check-In und Check-Out, grosses und sauberes Zimmer und Bad, bequeme Betten. Nur das angeschlossene Restaurant (Dinner) und Cafe (Frühstück) sind nicht so prickelnd hinsichtlich der Qualität des Essens.
Christian, 1-night trip

Colonial and friendly.

I like Diggers. Stayed a few times and it suits our needs adequately. Colonial style architecture and design feel. Friendly staff and good food next door. Clean rooms and usually not too busy. Good hotel.

A quiet place in the city

The hotel is quiet and secure, a comfortable and clean place for individuals or families. There are two restaurants available with excellent food and reasoable price. There is a gym and the neighorhood area is safe for walking/jogging.
