Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and superior rooms compared to other options in Lusaka, though noise can be an issue. The service is enthusiastic and helpful, but wait staff are not always readily available. The location is convenient and safe, near East Park Mall and various amenities. The dining experience is varied and satisfying, with slight delays in room service. Overall, a good choice but with room for improvement in noise insulation and prompt room readiness.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were great and very comfortable, but some were missing basic amenities and needed maintenance. The service was generally pleasant and helpful, but there were instances of unprofessionalism. The location was convenient for business but lacked certain offerings. The dining options were decent but limited. Overall, the hotel had its ups and downs.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and had a king bed, making it great for relaxation, but they appeared to be in need of a good deep clean with a sewage-y smell in the bathroom. On the downside, I encountered two roaches in the bathroom and found the fridge locked. The service was a bit unprofessional at times, however, the staff was kind and friendly. The location was good, not far from downtown and close to the East Park Mall, yet there were some issues with the noise from the cleaning team. The dining experience offered a large selection for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians, but the food choices were a bit limited. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel rooms feel like a presidential suite, spacious with a king bed to reduce stress at work. The service is very friendly and always willing to assist, exhibiting an impressive level of professionalism. The location is great for relaxation, central to important venues, and not far from downtown. The dining experience offers mouth-watering dishes of a very high standard. The hotel facilities are top-notch.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The room I stayed in was huge with a tile floor, king bed, sofa and chairs, jacuzzi, and walk-in shower, which made my stay very comfortable. However, there was only one room available during my visit which could be a downside for bigger groups. The overall experience was fantastic, and I would highly recommend this hotel.
The hotel had a bit of a rough start with the room not being ready when we arrived, but eventually, we got a clean and quiet room after some waiting. The locked fridge was a bit inconvenient, and the absence of toilet paper was a real downside. However, the service was surprisingly friendly and excellent, though it seemed more focused on profit. The location was convenient for business in the center, but not ideal for leisurely walks. The dining options were diverse and delicious, catering to various tastes and diets. Overall, a mix of pros and cons made the stay an interesting experience.
