Hotels near Lusaka airport

Cons: waiting time to be served at the restaurant.

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

Pros: Staff was very nice, room was comfortable, executive chefs were very accommodating.

Cons: Location was very convenient, near mulungushi conference center where I was sending a conference, but the area doesn't have a lot going on, only the arcades shopping area.

Pros: Location was good. Not a good selection of breakfast. Very basic. The fruit salad looked unappetizing and old as well as the watermelon. Cupboards where breakfast was displayed is dirty and old. This place needs a serious upgrade.

Cons: The entire hotel inside needs an upgrade. The furniture is outdated. Bedrooms also need to be updated. Shower tiles were mouldy. There was a smell in the room we stayed. Will never recommend this hotel and will not stay there again . What you advertise on booking.com is not what we got.

Pros: Good location Very friendly staff Good food Good internet throughout Clean

Pros: the breakfast was Nothing Special but ordinary and ok.. for the Money they are charging they can offer much better...

Cons: the misinformation spread by the staff. staff was not enough educated About the policies of the hotel, Services apart from the room was extraoridnary over charged

Pros: Great business traveler option for Lusaka. Probably the best option.

Cons: Check in Staff seems a little uninformed and uninterested. Other staffs like house keeping and doormen are very attentive.

Pros: The bedroom space and the size of the bed. Reception staff were really friendly and helpful.

Cons: Had valentines dinner at Chuma restaurant. It took 20 mins for someone to bring us menus and arrival drinks, food wasn’t great. It took half an hour to pay the bill due to waiting for a staff member with a card machine and then it eventually breaking. No member of staff apologised or seemed very helpful even after we complained. 3 different couples were seated next to us and they all got up and left halfway through.

Pros: The rooms and silence

Cons: Very nice people

Pros: Rooms had been refurbished

Cons: The airport transfer could have been better organised

Pros: Good place to stay. But too expensive and food and drinks at the hotel are not value for money and are over priced.

Cons: Service wasn’t as good as it was previously. And drinks and food not value for money.

Pros: yoghurt

Cons: none

Pros: I like that they have a party for guests on Wednesday nights. Great band.

Pros: The staff is exceptionally friendly! Really very special.

Pros: The menu and chefs are exceptional.

Cons: the bathroom ceiling is very low .. so my husband was touching the ceiling when showering

Pros: Breakfast and bar area was ok

Cons: Shower was dreadful, no water pressure, hotel is very old and dated, drab and dreary decor, only one lift working and on Sunday afternoon the lift broke down with me in it.

Pros: The ambiance and landscapes

Cons: Little bathtub needs to be upgraded

Pros: The food is OK (the Indian food was all great), breakfast was good, the room was big enough and comfortable, I had a good and reasonably priced massage (60 minutes full body for $40). The pool is nice, and the grounds are leafy. Live music in the restaurant was also a nice touch.

Cons: The decor is outdated and a few small things here and there didn't work, e.g. light switches. 1 of the 2 lifts was out of order my whole stay which made things quite slow. The biggest problem is the staff seem confused/ untrained. Service at the bar/ restaurants was never smooth or consistent. Also the lobby/ inside bar smells like cigarettes. Overall, it's in need of a facelift and some staff training in terms of who is doing what I think.

Pros: Staff was ready to help and was making sure am enjoying my time.

Pros: great room

Cons: all good

Pros: The staff were really lovely and supportive and dealt with any minor issues very quickly and kindly.

Pros: Wonderful shower, the best

Cons: None

Pros: Breakfast was very good as was location.

Cons: Limited parking.

Pros: Very comfortable beds and pillows as always with Protea Very clean, lovely shower Fridge, safe and iron with ironing board in the room Blackout curtains

Cons: Check in was painfully slow Room facing carpark and could hear the cars and activity from the 6th floor Doors also seem thin as could hear people walking and chatting past room Room a little smaller than expected Barely slept as loud music playing from a bar nearby till way past midnight Double glazed windows would be a good investment Lift wasnt working at a point. Probably due to loadshedding

Pros: The food outstanding

Cons: No irons in the room what the hell

Pros: Natwange is a great place to stay a few nights - it's clean, comfortable, welcoming and is only a short walk from East Park Mall with two supermarkets and plenty of dining options.

Cons: Nothing - all was good.

Pros: I liked everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very comfortable and quiet place. Pleasant and helpful staff. Close to a large shopping mall with restaurants and supermarket. Near a location to take a minibus/shared taxi. Comfortable bedding.

Cons: The water in the pools didn't look as though the chlorine was balanced correctly, so I didn't swim in them.

Pros: Such a lovely backpacker to stay at. I extended my stay by another night due to change in travel plans and I did not regret it. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the garden was very well kept and peaceful. Enough seating for everyone and invites opportunity to meet other solo backpackers staying there. Suited more to a mature backpacker who appreciates calm, quiet spaces (no loud music from the bar keeping you up). The room had everything I needed, was comfortable and clean. It is also within about 2km walking distance to the nearest mall and as a solo female traveler I felt safe along the route. This accomodation rose above the rest, compared to the many other backpackers I have stayed in around the world. Will definitely stay there again when in Lusaka.

Cons: I had some trouble getting a hot shower in the communal bathrooms, but the weather was warm and humid so I did not complain about it. Had it been addressed with management I have no doubt that they would have attended to it. Its possible I just wasn't using the taps properly... or patiently enough.

Pros: good value, clean and comfortable property, food and drinks available

Cons: shared kitchen could be much cleaner!

Pros: The room was late and clean. The bed was comfortable. There was an excellent fan and no mosquitos. The room was quiet with just typical Lusaka city noise. We would stay here again.

Cons: We asked the front desk for an earlier breakfast on our day of departure but we were told it wasn’t possible. (They don’t start serving breakfast until 7:30.) the next morning as we were checking out and two other people were placing orders for breakfast. I asked why they were able to get breakfast and we were not. They said they had made prior arrangements. I explained that we had also asked but were told it was possible. Ultimately they agreed to serve us breakfast. We were not all that early - 7 instead of 7:30 - the same as the other two guests. When they brought out the omelette my husband only received 1/2 of the omelette when the previous morning it was a full omelette. The bread was also not toasted when it had been the previous morning.

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!!!

Pros: Pancakes are wonderful. Salad was fresh.

Cons: Hot water took long but it was very hot in the end.

Pros: Staff and Service are exceptionally nice.

Pros: Clean and secure

Cons: Faulty toilet flashing system that took more than 10 hrs to be fixed

Pros: Great service and very friendly staff

Pros: The bed was big and comfy

Cons: That they were busy with renovations in the room next door. Banging a wall out. Upon me complaining, i was told a letter in the room explaining phase for each floor. Firstly the letter was not there when i checked in and only appeared after i complained. Also i would think that they should inform you before confirming booking and taking payment that there would be noise interuptions during day due to upgrade. Wasnt pleasant at all and i would think inconsiderate. Also the pool is rediculously small. They didnt have after hours room service either.

Pros: The food was always fresh and tasty. There was lovely choices ! The rooms were clean and comfortable. Bed Comfy! Pillows were little hard for my liking but we are all different! Staff helpful and friendly! Certainly will be back when travel for work!

Cons: NO faults - for a working trip all was good!

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: More staff and bit more energy. Friendly place

Cons: Breakfast needs improving. Juice coffee fruit poor Ac in room still terribly noisy.

Pros: The staff were very friendly and helpful.

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: 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.

Pros: The room and the facilities are clean. For those who are 'vegetarian' it is not comfortable and suggestions are made to the manager for improvement.

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

Pros: Great customer service from all the staff especially from Margaret who has always been very helpful in assisting us to get used to the office ay things work can't thank her enough!

Pros: Friendly staff good breakfast great pool area

Cons: All was good except for house keeping which was unreliable as to when room was serviced, towels delivery and cleaning.

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: We stayed here at the start of our trip and loved it. We were so happy to be back to a warm welcome and delicious food with a cold Mosi. Highly recommend.

Pros: Beautiful garden Not the best maintenance of the room and bathroom, but better than i expected

Cons: Breakfast not ok

Pros: Friendly staff; Quiet Location

Cons: Limited Breakfast Options; No Drinking Water in the rooms

Cons: On pictures it's beautiful, but in real life, it's dirty and stinky. Cockroaches are at the restaurant and in the room. While I was eating in the evening 4 different people came to ask if I was OK, while I was chewing. That's too much of "politeness" The pool is dirty. Impossible to swim or even to sit close. Plus, they confirmed transfer from the airport but NOBODY ARRIVED!

Pros: Good location. Nice gardens.

Cons: The internet was often off, or slow. Water was not available on several occasions.

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.

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: The best place to arrive after a long flight. Welcoming staff. Clean and comfy rooms. A pool. Gorgeous gardens. Fabulous restaurant. All in all a wonderful experience. Thank you Palmwood Lodge.

Pros: Nice enough location and room looked ok

Cons: Pot luck if you got hot water. Water pressure in bathroom sink extremely low. Card payment kept failing requiring relative to go to cash machine some distance away to get cash to pay. Flaky WiFi.

Pros: The gardens and setting is very relaxing. Nice to have impala running around in the garden. Very good spa and decent Gym. Ideal if one is a gold buff, can always play a round in the course next door. Close to the airport and the East Mall which has some very good restaurants. Hotel food is pretty good

Cons: Bathrooms were tiny ...needs to be upgraded. Business Centre is run by 3rd party and looked very questionable. Looked more like a tiny communication centre in Rural Zambia. l will not use it for any confidential work.

Pros: Staff is nice.

Cons: The hotel is run down. Broken furniture, A/C from another age that makes a noise of a broken truck, impossible to sleep with the noise it makes.

Pros: The staff and the service

Pros: Staff were so kind

Cons: Geyser had no hot water even after I asked.

Pros: The bed was wide and very comfortable. The bathroom was so big with a lot of unused space. The mixer in the bathroom needs replacing with modern type.

Cons: Bed was faulty in room 127

Pros: Location and Staff are great. Very friendly and excellent staff.

Pros: The location is great

Cons: This was the smallest room in all my Zambian/Zimbabwean experience Super expensive for what you get The breakfast was not available (or the receptionist forgot to tell me?) In general, the girl at the reception was not anyhow interested in my arrival or departure

Cons: No hot water in basin. No breakfast - chef didn't come in.
