Clean with working aircon. WiFi sketchy. ##### Simon Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Rein 12 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lusaka is a laid back low-rise walkable city. The property was under construction outside, with new guest rooms being added. Our room was huge and comfortable, but basic in it's features, especially the washroom. The staff were flawless, polite and helpful in every way. The food was simple but served very hot and tasty and everything was spotlessly clean throughout. Loved the thatch-roofed bar out back. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B216A1D20BADB4B83E143F1F5B79AD9F79B311461710280017577.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/184E440608E4A3996C0C34A52AEDB51A916185491710280149669.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/93CB91FDA0DB575BBECC16DC8FD7058CF44CCDC71710280142369.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rein Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kalaba 2 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good and professional staff.
