About this place Oasis Motel

Oasis Motel is a mainstream motel on Tlokweng Road, the main route east from central Gaborone toward the Tlokweng border post. It's listed as gay-friendly, but it isn't a gay hotel, and earlier claims calling it one aren't backed by anything we can find. Google gives it about 3.8 from roughly 570 reviews, so expect an average, practical stay. Botswana decriminalised same-sex relations in 2019, but public discretion is still the norm. Check the motel's website for current rooms and rates.

Stayed for 4 nights on a work trip, rooms are a good size, very clean, linen & towels are clean & in good condition. Water in room was refreshed daily. Very comfortable bed. Breakfast was sufficient. A safe quiet complex adjacent to a shopping strip mall.
