Hotels near Lusaka airport

Pros: Great management, facilities, and good place to meet fellow travelers. Highly recommended!

Pros: It's an amazing place to spend a night or two and we shall surely come back the next time we are in lusaka ...cheers and codoz to your helpful receptionist...

Cons: Just had a little mosquitoes because our window couldn't close but be assureed I will recommend a friend who will recommend a friend aswell

Pros: The staff is very friendly. Other guests are friendly and respectful too. Laundry facilities available too.

Cons: cleanliness of the shared kitchen could be improved

Pros: This is a nice backpacking place. No luxury but clean. Staff is very lovely. We arrived late at night and kitchen was closed but they do their best to prepare some food for us. Besides, they help us with good advices to plan the rest of our trip. We strongly recommend.

Pros: Splendid location, beautiful garden and swimming pool area, tasteful decorations of all areas. A bit noisy as walls seem thin, food was ok, staff helpful to a certain degree. Copious breakfast box, as check out was at 5 am.

Cons: No money exchange was possible at the hotel.

Pros: Comfortable and clean room

Cons: Staff was not friendly or engaged with guest. It seemed like they were doing us a favor if we asked for items in the dining room. The check in receptionist was not welcoming. They swiped my credit card during check out. My bill was authorized and I signed for it. Then they manually entered my credit card info into the computer. .

Pros: I liked everything, the staff, the room, facilities, environment, Cheif Neten, Abdo were very helpful and made special dishes for me , Willie in the reception is very polite, helpful, extremely facilitator

Cons: Nothing, every time I go to Lusaka, I stay in this hotel

Pros: Everything about my stay other than the extra charge I got.

Cons: The initial price on the app was K1599 but when I got to the hotel the staff told me they had to add tax and the total ended up being K2037 if I'm not mistaken. I would prefer that the app uses the hotels prices to avoid being blind sided with extra costs that weren't planned for.

Pros: The garden and the swimming pool are among the best spots in Lusaka. The hotel style blending African touches with sufficient comforts (the restaurant is excluded from this "African" style)...

Cons: The main lobby and breakfast restaurant xould be more open air and outdoor as someone expects in Africa. The hotel is privileged by such a beautiful garden that is a shame not to be taken advantage in offering to the restaurant an exotic ambiance. Too "closed" and too heavy as if you are in northern Europe.

Pros: Location

Cons: Could not sleep on any of my 4 nights there. Music do so loud from club next door until 2 am . Dinner at restaurant terrible - meat was so tough at your steakhouse I ate out every night after the first night dinner. I will not be returning -Radisson Blu is same rate and no issues like these my stay in Lusaka 2 weeks earlier.

Pros: rooms were comfortable, breakfast was good

Cons: Wifi didn't work in the rooms

Cons: Waiting time at the restaurant a bit long

Pros: Room service n laundry were quick n efficient

Cons: Service was slow at the restaurant

Pros: The food outstanding

Cons: No irons in the room what the hell

Pros: The room was great and very comfortable.

Cons: The shower had some issues with the hot water and the water drainage.

Pros: Very nice Gym, and menu for dinner.

Cons: Sadly, this was a poor showing from a 5 star chain. 1. The toilet in my room was very weak at flushing, couldn't even flush paper in one go. 2. The iron did not work 3. The toilet rool holder was hanging off the wall 4. The hose to the shower head on the bath leaked when in use 4. The toaster at breakfast only did one side of my bread, this has been an issue since my last stay also. 5. The hall way which my room was on smelt of smoke, my room was next to the smoking rooms. Sadly this is way off the standard expected and previously experienced, thankfully I was only there for one night, if it had been longer, I would have insisted in moving to another room. I would welcome compensation for this stay.

Pros: Unfortunately they had air con problems and expected me to inform them that their air cons do not function. I informed them as a hotel, this is an aspect that is a standard procedure to ensure a basic aircon functionality. They changed the room after wasting a lot of time trying to repair their aircons. After more than 24 hours of staying in a room without air con. I was provided with fruits that i declined to have. Other than this experience things were good. Until on the last day, they called behind me while i checked out and said you have to pay a bill. I said i dont have any bill, what billl? They said its pay tv bill, ok what pay tv bill? Does it bill me if i watch normal tv. They said they pay tv, which i wasnt aware of as i only watched my own Netflix through miracast or youtube. They showed me 3 logs, which they claimed based on. I told them i didnt even know you had this pay tv function and i havent watched anything. They said Ok, then maybe its an IT fault. Now this made me really mad that they have an IT problem and they just charge people somethings without me watching it. Thats not how IT works. Rather thats how probably fraud works. Majority of the hotel is good, except some of these poorly trained managers just forget their real duty in terms of customer service. If you want to have a good experience be very aware, how they might try tp scam you.

Cons: Managers attitude, communication styles. The normal staff are extremely nice and well trained. However the managers need to ammend their poor customer service skills.

Pros: There are so many good things to say about this hotel .. from the manner in which they treat you on arrival till the friendly service in the Chuma Restuarant and pool bar .. Patience the cashier at Chuma with the waiters are brilliant .. George the chef know who to prepare food ..

Cons: That there is not an ATM or cellphone data for sale .. This is an area that management can investigate

Pros: Shower was not working in room 212, tried to use the bath, same issue. You cant charge people premium rates when the facilities dont work. Breakfast was average at best. No cappucino, coffee was very average

Pros: Staff were helpful and respectful

Cons: Room 108 shower 🚿 glass door makes cracking noise when open or clossing

Cons: Toilet not flashing adequately

Pros: The food Ordering food anytime

Cons: Their hospitality the bathroom is poorly constructed water leaks, standing water when showering, the shower is not properly cleaned The maintenance needs improvement what a great place but without proper maintenance it’s going to be a one star hotel Please replace your shower heads and whole shower-they are not five star standard-house keeping needs to do a better job cleaning

Cons: Mixing of Non-Veg meat products into Omlette is not appropriate, which was brought to the attention of the manager for improvement.

Cons: Should work on the friendliness of receptionist.

Pros: The location worked well for what we were doing. The pool area is lovely...a little oasis in the city. The staff were friendly. The food was good.

Cons: You had to hold the shower nozzel or you would get water all over the floor. The sink was continuously running which is a waste of water. I thought the staff would fix it as the tap probably just needed a new washer put into it. We stayed for four nights and it was like this the entire time. The air conditioner, although it ran, did not kick out much cool air

Pros: After touring Zambia and staying in village Motels with missing toilet lights and cockroaches on your pillow etc, I cant say how great is was to have my last night in the Grand Hotel. This is a wonderful place to stay. Room and bed superb. Food excellent. Facilities very good. Pool colder than expected !

Cons: Could have a coffee in the reception bar, and cold drinks by the pool, but wasn't allowed to take a cuppa to the poolside, a few yards away. Everything else was brill, but this seemed a little petty.

Pros: Service with a pick up from the airport was great. Location is perfect.

Pros: Friendly and courteous staff.

Cons: The restaurant was full of flies, table cloths were dirty - but the restaurant staff is very courteous and attentive. I wonder how clean the kitchen is and whether flies are sitting on my food before it is served to me. The rooms are full of mosquitoes - I could not sleep on both visits to this hotel. Loyalty points still not credited to my account.

Cons: Communication was none existent.

Pros: The breakfast was OK. The staff were friendly

Cons: The internet service was terrible. I was unable to conduct my business online. I was extremely stressed out. The hotel needs much better and fast internet service. I met another guest who complained to me about the same issue. The hotel need a total renovation and upgrade of the all rooms. The room was old, unclean and poorly maintained. I am a Marriot Gold/Platnum member for 23 years and it was the worse Marriot property I ever stay at. I was totally disappointed.

Cons: car park location and size

Pros: Service was great. Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. TV with decent channels. Perfect room and price for transit or business travelers.

Pros: The restaurant was very nice with polite and professional service. Food for dinner was good.

Cons: The room was clean, but very old and desperately in need of reconstruction. The AC didn't work. The breakfast was kind of odd, didn't quite understand the concept is it a'lacarte or buffee, something inbetween... The fitness centre is rather small with no AC and the machines didn't work.

Pros: The pool was a pleasant surprise. The breakfast was great. This is a wonderful place to stay because it is outside of the city a bit. I woke to birds singing, not traffic and car horns.

Pros: Good location. Nice gardens.

Pros: It is a lovely lodge type hotel. Very quiet and relaxing. Local food and Indian was great, Staff were really lovely, responsive and helpful. The setting is gorgeous. They have conference facilities that seem like it would make for great staff retreats.

Cons: For meetings I was attending not the best place. Not really convenient for people w/o cars unless just coming for a complete break and quiet relaxation.

Cons: I tried two separate massage people. They were both terrible. And when I say terrible - I mean I was more jacked up and tense before the massage. WARNING TO ALL!!!
