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

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.

Wow what an experience. After 16 hours in the air I was welcomed by the amazing staff. The room service was on point ( I ordered food at 3 in the morning and the kitchen did not disappoint!) Everything was clean and we'll organized. The staff was always professional, organized, funny and just amazing at anything I asked for. I'll never stay at any other hotel when I visit Lusaka again. This place felt like family ❤️ I will definitely recommend to everyone I know. Keep up the fantastic standards.

Fresh and friendly

The stay here was very good. Newly opened, everything is very fresh and in reasonably good order. The staff is very friendly and serviceminded. This is the kind of hotel that I am happy to stay in and it is right next to the terminal building. No problems to walk the 250m to the hotel from arrivals, but since we arrived at night, the hotel arranged a shuttle.

Property is very close to Lusaka airport (walkable) so convenient for flights. We arrived late afternoon and enjoyed lunch and drinks at the bar however ordered a simple cup of tea and dessert to the room in the evening which after an hour didn’t arrive. Went to check and they hadn’t made it yet, hotel seemed busier than our last stay and sadly demands couldn’t be met. However staff are all very friendly and bed very comfy so still a good option for a rest before or after a long haul flight.

An extremely (!) friendly check-in let me feel at home from the first moment. The room was nicely furbished and the bed/matress very comfortable. Two points for improvement: - no ashtrays in the public spaces - in an explicit airport hotel I'd expect something like small amenity kit containing a comb/hair brush etc. Anyway, I'm looking forward to my next stay here.

Convenient proximity to airport building

Welcoming staff and brand new fittings etc. Room was soundproof and airconditioning worked well and quiet despite the electricity propblems facing Zambia. There are some teething proplems with especially the toilet and the interconnecting room is not soundproof at all. Could clearly hear my neighbour.
