This is a lovely place to stay 5 minutes from the airport with a free shuttle. The room was spacious and clean with all amenities - water pressure was great. We did not have a chance to use the pool but it looked beautiful. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great place for a layover.

I was very happy about the friendliness of the staff, especially the front manager Silvia who went above and beyond to accommodate me with my very late arrival. She wanted to help me with my lost luggage as well but luckily I didn’t have to bother her. The room was clean and spacious. Overall a great stay and welcome to Zambia. Highly recommend

Everything was great. My wife and I travel a lot and stay in many hotels. The staff was the nicest and accommodating as any we've ever had. The hotel was clean and well maintained. Our only complaint is the design of the shower. Worst I've ever seen. You have to step over a high platform that the tub is on to get in it, which makes it dangerous to get out with the water on the tub and floor because there is only a half glass wall to keep the water in. We managed, but think the glass panel could be fixed easily. We will stay here again.

Perfect hotel after a long flight to Lusaka airport. We walked across to hotel from airport and were able to check into the room right away. Bed was comfy and room had sufficient amenities. Bar staff were really friendly and food was delicious. Only down sound we had an early departure and staff said breakfast could be delivered to room but it arrived late so we were unable to eat before departing. Ideal for a recovery stop when flying in and out of Zambia.
