Overall great, only Chuma Restaurant unreachable

We had a wonderful stay. The reception staff who helped us were awesome, Lungowe and Clive were so cheerful and very helpful. Overall the staff were great only that the Chuma Restaurant didn’t pick up calls. Chuma Restaurant was hard to get through to, most of the time, I had to take walks every time we needed something from the Restaurant. My husband didn’t feel so well upon arrival so it was convenient for him to have room service the first 3 days of our stay.

The hotel was a bit run down but in a convenient area. Most service request were ignored, and they charged me in USD at a terrible conversion rate - never even asked. The food was hit or miss.

Beware of the diesel generator!

At midnight during my first night the hotel's generator came on (due to load shedding), and it was right outside my window. Terrible noise, how does the hotel expect guests to sleep soundly? I asked to be moved to another room which was possible, luckily. I am surprised that a hotel in this league doesn't have a 'silent' generator, or house it in a sound proof building. Or have a solar system instead which would be environmentally friendly.
