The N1 Hotel Group, run by the Nesbitt Group of Companies, is a Zimbabwean chain of hotels specialising in clean, affordable accommodation. Founded as an economy hotel chain, the N1 Hotel Group of Hotels aims to offer guests limited high-quality services at a reasonable price. Standard amenities are convenient and practical, catering to business travellers and short-term stays.

As of July 2022, The N1 Hotel franchise includes 4 hotels in Zimbabwe with 116 rooms in total. The brand's first location opened in 2005 with N1 Bulawayo. The N1 Hotel Group intends to target business travellers and offer no-frills, comfortable, clean, and affordable lodging for discerning guests on a budget.

History

Initially, the N1 Hotel chain started in 2005 with N1 Hotel Bulawayo on Joshua Nkomo Street, an economy hotel. The building was previously a block of bachelor flats that the N1 Hotel Group renovated to turn it into a profitable business. This high-quality N1 Hotel services busy business travellers and offers affordability and a top level of cleanliness. 

With the success of the first hotel, expansion took place. In 2008/9 N1 Hotel Victoria Falls was created to service tourists and business travellers in this popular resort town. This property has 30 rooms plus a campsite and dormitory. In 2013/14 N1 Hotel Samora Machel was built, offering 30 rooms along Samora Machel Avenue. The latest addition to the hotel chain was added in 2022 with N1 Hotel Rotten Row in Harare, also on Samora Machel Avenue, at the corner of Rotten Row, offering 32 rooms. 

Typically, N1 Hotel buildings are carefully chosen and renovated to suit the business traveler and tend to have between 20 and 30 rooms, with a mix of suites and standard rooms. The N1 Hotels' locations are generally on main streets within each city, in high traffic areas, with good visibility, and have easy access to restaurants. These are two star hotel rating properties and locations.

Properties

The N1 Hotel Group's concept is to create no-frills hotels with rooms comparable in quality to those of more upscale hotels but with fewer amenities. Typically found in city centers, the N1 Hotels offer no room service, bar, health clubs, or other onsite amenities. There are currently no other hotels delivering a similar offering in Zimbabwe. N1 Hotels stand out above the rest with affordable pricing and top-quality services.

Regarding added extras and amenities, guests will enjoy a breakfast-only restaurant at each hotel. N1 Hotel Bulawayo, N1 Hotel Samora Machel, and N1 Hotel Victoria Falls offer in-house breakfasts. N1 Hotel Victoria Falls' campsite and dormitory feature an onsite bottle store, kiosk, and barbecue areas. This hotel's primary focus is on tourist travellers, and so it also includes a swimming pool and clubhouse. N1 Hotel Rotten Row, partnering with Simbisa Brands, offers two onsite meal options - Haefelis, a coffee shop for breakfast, pastries, and light meals and Chicken Inn for more substantial meals and takeaways. This property also features a small conference room, offering 10 seats.

N1 Hotel Group Expansion

The N1 Hotel Group is undergoing significant growth, and its vision is to set up N1 Hotels north along the N1 freeway. This hotel chain aims to expand its hotel offerings to 7 properties in Zimbabwe and eventually develop across the border to Zambia, Botswana, and Mozambique, moving further north. If newly built, the N1 Hotel Group would like to offer a 40-50 room hotel. 

The Nesbitt Group of Companies' flagship property is the Nesbitt Castle in Bulawayo. This luxurious and upmarket property is due for an upgrade shortly, intending to bring it back to its former glory.
